Looks good you can’t beat a hazel hedge

I have not suggested Mr Musk or any other entrepreneur is altruistic. What I said is that he has made his billions by providing something people want. If you have a minute look at the vacancies page on the SpaceX website. There are hundreds of current vacancies. He employs about 120,000 people and most are on six figure salaries. My view is that commerce is what ultimately creates wealth. Governments do not. The greatest achievement in history of taking people out of poverty is 800,000 in a quarter of a century. This happened in China this century and it was all down to commerce. Aided and abetted by government of course, but actually brought about by thousands of entrepreneurs. Whether you like Musk’s politics or not he has made a huge contribution to wealth, not just his own. I can’t comment on Grok as I don’t use it. I see a place for AI; though I also see challenges as with all the major developments of the last couple of hundred years. I do agree political divisions are getting deeper. And for some reason most people seem unable to discuss and debate these matters in a civil manner which I think is a loss to everyone. I suspect you and I would not agree what is driving all this though!

Why not use a hot air gun?

4motion vw transporter with low box and 7000 train weight would do it for me

It is a scaffold transporting lorry so the weight is centred over the axle and it carries fixed but long lengths.

Cheers ill have a look

I didn't realise it but we have one of the 540 batteries in stock. It is big!

Anyone got unseasoned logs in Lake District Cumbria please I also have my own saw so can come and chop felled wood up thanks jack

TBH, both helicoil or Timesert will do an effective job if done correctly. One bit of advice is to use a decent quality tap and usually a taper one otherwise there is a distinct chance that the tap will go in at an angle causing sealing issues. I use Volkel taps as they are decent and not OMG expensive, avoid all these cheap Chinese alternatives as the job is as strong as the quality of the receiving thread.

Incorrect, you describe an offset D which is the opposite of an HMS. Rhino and phantom are both HMS carabiners. Halbmastwurf sicherung translates as Munter hitch belay carabiner. Halb= half, mastwurf = mast hitch, sicherung = belay. From the Shadow HMS Note the last line, its designed to take three clove hitches. The slight asymmetry will not cause any problems.

A decent log burner drys all kit ready for the next day👌🏻 I understand not all are fortunate enough to to be bestowed with such a blessing. I find that when it is wet a wicking base layer is a beauty. This sip jacket has been proper, on my second one. The price has got a little on the expensive side efor my liking but it is fairly hardy and waterproof so worth it.

Last 3 pair the insides of the soles broke up and fell out starting from 3 month,completely failed at 6 month.Haix say abuse.Im 13.5 stone,semie retired.

Another ash, trying not to squash the conni below. It was also good to test the clip on my 2511. It works very nicely for one hand stowing.

Looks like apple canker but then the twigs often die back

@Woodworks How are these coming along? Updated pics please?

It's a couple of feet up. You could be right about one being engulfed by the other.

Morning all, Should be dry here. Cedar dismantle today. Young lad climbing, Awkward exit from rear garden, timber stays on site. Two dragging, I’m on ropes. Be safe.

That's frustrating! I Have been told green flag is the way to go for cover, the Uber driver that took my wife home said he does loads of RAC and AA jobs and said this sort of stuff is common place.

Nice to see a post like this pop up for a change. Good aftersales support makes a massive difference when machines are earning their keep every day. Quick turnaround, clear communication, and no messing about is exactly what you want when something goes wrong. Stories like this are why some brands keep loyal customers for years.

Swap injectors like when you're diagnosing a dead coil.

An estate I know of tried to weigh a big Fendt and triple axle spreader to check that they weren't being done and failed as their weighbridge was only rated to fifty tonnes 🤭😅

A man came home from work one day to find his wife sitting on the front porch with her bags packed. He asked her where she was going. She replied: “I’m going to Las Vegas”. He questioned her as to why. “I just found out that I can make £500 a night doing what I give you for free”. He pondered that then went into the house and packed his bags and returned to the porch. “And just where do you think you’re going?” “I’m going with you!” he replied. “Why?” she asked. “I want to see how you are going to live on £1,000 a year!”
