I don't think Israel has any dirt on him; he's just getting involved for the love of being the big man on the world stage. That and the chance for some transactional action along the way.

recall the warrener;[look him up, quite a knowledgeable character] tellingof a young lad who had bantams, and locked them up every night, one night he forgot,, in the morning they were all dead, scattered over the yard and surrounding area, some eaten, some half buried nearby,clearly the work of a fox. he asked the warrener,,"But how did the fox know I had left the door open"? warrener replied,,"he didn't,,, he comes every night". he came back the next night too,,, but he didn't leave this time.

Husky 560xp mk1. Vibration when in the cut.......?
Brushcutter replied to medroberts's topic in Chainsaws
Mk 1 husky saws were bad on the restart when hot. They work better if you follow the hot start process of putting the choke on taking it off so it starts at half throttle. My MK1 was bad for it especially in the summer. Eventually it went in for repair and it has a new carb under warranty, which was the issue. What was wrong with it exactly I can't remember. Tank breather isn't blocked is it? -
As far as I am aware there is no NPTC or Lantra award for milling in general. Your chainsaw mill would be covered by your chainsaw maintenance and cross cut as the power source. I once did a band saw course which I got sent on and the guy who did it knew less about band saws than milling than I did. He was expecting a little workshop resaw as that's all he sees. A Robinson's resaw and a stenner 41 were too far out his comfort zone so I felt we showed him more than he showed us. So specific training for band saws and table saws exists. As the PUWER requirement would be to show suitable training did you get any from the machinery suppliers. If not maybe see if they could do you something? The other option if a local training provider would be willing to do a certificate of training. Then you have something to show people.

Are you going to crane her off the back on one of those bird perches that look like a hotel suitcase trolley?

Can you make glyphosate or whatever poison into a jelly or mousse (or even a soufflé)? It could be cast over a patch and left to sit and dribble with gravity and time. Like a block of it under an upturned bath for a couple of years. As it happens, I don’t like poisons and I’d rather digger and mattock it out, but should Monsanto see this and make millions, I want my cut.

I am new to Chainsaw milling [faqs reworked]
Gareth Woolley replied to Rob D's topic in Panther Mill UK
They were straight when I got them and have stayed straight. the only down side to this frame is that my milling attachment doesn’t touch the log and so if I cut a deep slab or cut a few boards from the same rail setting by dropping the milling attachment end posts, I do get juddering of the saw across the cut. The milled boards look awesome but I have a plan to add an extendable or sprung loaded guide wheel to the milling attachment bar jaw so the wheel runs along with the cut on the log. The juddering got so bad on the last big log it shook the threads out of my 070 air filter support bar ( the one that runs through the loop of the choke lever) Im ordering a bunch of spares shortly for it but this big frame is only used on the big logs. I use 2 rails and log end brackets for logs up to 3’ diameter -
What do you think? West Wales if that's any help.
