basic Cross cutting training
The avantgardener replied to Woodlandmilluk's topic in Training & education
The NPTC/City and Guilds and LANTRA courses are both two days. One day, Health & Safety, SSRA, stripping down and maintaining the saw etc, day two cross cutting. They will both be recognised by Insurance in the event of an accident, Micky Mouse Training Provider LTD’s certificate won’t. If you have a workshop and cutting material you could get a LANTRA Instructor to come to you or download the NPTC assessment schedule and arrange an NPTC Assessor to come when you know the schedule requirements. - Today

Can you talk us through what a statutory demand is and when they should be used (before/after litigation) please. I think I’ve worked it out but you explain things pretty well.

It does look a bit precarious, but felt quite safe and it's more or less the traditional method of raising much larger frames. I'd wear my steel toe capped boots next time though....... Hoping to have it wind and watertight by the autumn. Could have been done quicker, but I've still to make the oak framed window frames, etc. and it's just the reality that it takes ages when doing every bit of every different trade on a spare time self build project. Started almost 2 years ago by hand digging (no access for a machine) the trenches for a sewer diversion which was over 4 feet down......... Andrew

Most diesels weigh quite a bit more than the petrol. The 35hp petrol is 59kgs and the diesel is 170kgs in the Kohlers. Thats and extra 100kgs + of tow weight that your trucks hauling about, day in, day out, adding to your truck fuel bill, brake wear, and trailers wear and tear. Its probably not a huge amount, but I doubt its often considered.

Here's some and it's an interesting read. As late as the 1970's there's some levels of death on some projects that would be headlines today. https://www.forconstructionpros.com/blogs/construction-toolbox/blog/12096401/looking-back-on-the-worlds-deadliest-construction-projects

I have test drove both . The mitsi , is a lot more expensive. They said with the duo , you get a suspension chair and auto gear box . Although isuzu do this also . Was worried about the 1.9 isuzu having the pull but even though the mitsi is 3L , didn't notice any difference. Think we will save £5000 and go with the isuzu , both very basic inside . Isuzu probably just shades it.

The insurance industry would beg to differ. £64 million in claims last year! https://www.edwincoe.com/blogs/main/happy-surge-year-rise-subsidence-claims-201819/ -
Replacement piston? Saw history. My punt - it's the roughness of the cast surface compared with smoothness of machined surfaces. Mr Rainford, is the squish band in the cylinder pitted ? (Squish band is the 2-3 mm wide ring around the periphery of the combustion camber).

Are you too far from another dealer? I see there are outlets in Keswick, Carlisle and Ambleside.

"Med Stikkan kloveren behover du like hugge fingrene af med oksen , nar du skal klove dit trae til optaending.” I just put the bit of Danish on the label into Google translate and it came up with "With the Stikkan clover, you also need to cut your fingers off with the bull when you have to cleave your wood for picking up." I gave the instructions to my Danish wife to translate and her version was " With the Stikkan knife you can slice the wood without cutting your fingers off with an axe" So much for google translate!!!!

Base anchor pulling capability’s vs isolated fork
difflock replied to TTownsend's topic in General chat
Yes, obviously the force will be identical, assuming the line is either tied off at the crotch or passes over the crotch, at the same height. But I understood from some of the previous posts it was the potential for crotch failure due to the imposed compressive/splitting loading from the line that was the possible weakness, if tied off at the base as opposed to the crotch.. -
Mine is pretty sticky when filling up but fine going down. Stuart
