Morning, out early to look at work before starting. Rains just come on, geese are flying for first time over head, so far I’ve found some fence and pushed a gate off its hinges and here comes the monsoon!😂

I had a de-clutter recently to do loft insulation and got gritty and determined with the stacks of old car magazines. Classic and Sports Car, Land-rover Owner, volksworld, Practical Performance Car, Popular Classics, Custom Car, American Motors, Retro Ford to name a few titles. Dies anyone want to make a bid? I'm told that they can fetch some money if advertised in the right way but I cba'ed. The picture shows the largest quantity - Classic and Sports Car, possibly 20 years worth!

So once the TDS has gone at the next election, which of you're many other obsessive subjects are going to step up the ladder ?. I'd suggest therapy, meditation or medication, but maybe a little time off the grid would of more benefit.

Morning, Im looking to bulk buy a large quantity of oak milled boards (40+ boards with ongoing supply) with 1 or 2 live edges. They need to be seasoned and between 300-1000mm wide. I'm not worried about length as i'll be cutting them down but ideally over 1m long. Width wants to be 30-40mm thick. Id also purchase any walnut if people have some available. Id be glad to hear from anyone who has timber to offer, or contacts that could help. Photos to give an idea of what i'm looking for.

Is it even the right throatplate they've sent out ? We've had that before with a different manufacturer . Or they could of got the stove that hot its been warped so the plate doesn't fit or won't fit .

Hi I'm a forestry worker based in Cornwall looking for some weekend work , wondering if anybody on here has any or will no anybody who does ? Got experience in most aspects of forestry and got tickets aswell . Cheers tom

Yes absolutely; cut them down to a little over size before kilning. Expect some end splitting and cupping. Make sure everything has extra thickness and length so you can machine it to exact size when doing the build.

Climber Required. Self employed or PAYE. Good crew. Good hours. We have experienced staff so not big climbs all day every day Actual pay depends on how much you can take off the manager's plate. From ordering new parts for the saws to deciding who does what. Plenty of time on the ground mentoring newly qualified staff. Avant GRCS. Some domestic work during quiet months. Mostly National Trust, woodland work or development sites outside of nesting. www.treescapeoxford.co.uk [email protected] 07834811239

Never had so many, the largest are around 175mm. I've always known them as horse mushrooms, all I know is they are tasty.
