Maybe if the remaining hostages were released Mark rather than being kept as pawns or traded in set piece displays surrounded by masked terrorists? What a price the Palestinian people have paid as a result of the terror attack by Hamas.

I these barkboxes and shiny side covers principally represent a triumph of marketing and a reciprocal void of sense. Saws are really bloody good as they come. If people replaced the time spent researching, idolising, buying and fitting things that make your saw louder, more expensive and probably heavier with time spent improving their sharpening, they'd have more money and more sawdust and probably fewer add-on problems (like whatever backpressure issue someone above was alluding to). Yes, I get what porting, decking, timing, tuning etc is for and if you really are a super, super duper cutter that wants even more, go for it. But I suspect about 99% of people that **************** around with these "upgrade" parts never derive as much benefit as they would do from just being sharper.

If caught without feelers again, you could use other stuff under the other side (or even a comparable engine) and replicate that amount of drag on the bad side. Your fingers can feel remarkably small differences. Anyone who's jogged a CNC mill down in ten micron and then single micron increments to scratch a gauge under an endmill knows what I mean. You'll even feel the different cutting edges dragging differently. 25 microns is one thou(sandth of an inch).

I have operative and supervisors card it is for working on the roads and footpaths, they are asking if you have it for traffic management just sub out all signage and depending on work an open notice

You've not said if it's dead and won't turn over or it's just not turning over and no spark. Don't know if you're key starting or pull starting.

Any one know any company in UK who sells fuel tank guard for ms462 tried USA don't post to uk

I am cool with my neighbours bin emptying being prioritised over mine though, as I’d rather not look at everyone else’s crap blowing about in the wind - and I can trust myself to manage mine.

Thanks mate big help is this picture the solenoid

Did you ask them to fix a Honda motor or fix a wallenstein? Any decent mower, chainsaw outlet should be able to sort that? Is the oil level correct? If you can’t get it fixed I’ll buy it off you as is and part ex a splitting axe ?

Why Holme Lacy? Is that where you trained?

It's definitely a close race between Biden and SP, ask either a question and you get a lot of nonsensical rambling without an actual definitive opinion or answer. Ask him what ice-cream flavour he likes it's probably three pages of waffle, then says vanilla or I prefer gelato.

It’s me selling the truck btw. 07724 400 505

Indeed it is. In my lifetime, and I will be 66 in a few days, we have only had 2, 1976 and 1995. So another would be more than welcome. Cheers

I have an egg pecker. It’s one of five of them. Hen six is currently sitting on four eggs in a DHL box serving as a broody coop. But back to the five. How do I catch the perpetrator, short of CCTV or finding egg on its face? Video for general interest and pleasure. IMG_5483.MOV

Morning All. Have a good one.

Hi everyone ,so thinking about selling my mill even though I dont want to ,my health isnt the best fractured my spine before christmas so lifting big slabs is out ,lost our yard and everything is in storage ,I love sawmilling but at almost 60yrs old setting up another yard ,I would need lifting kit like a forklift ,yards are so expensive around us so yeah as much as I dont want to sell it I think its prob the best idea if I can sell most of the Mahagony and Utile I have it would give me enough cash to buy a nice classic Bus or Truck to convert and do some travelling , so Whats it worth its next to brand new hasnt got 20hrs on the clock and I have 6/8 ripper 37's they do have some surface rust but are still brand new looking on line a new HM130 Max static is £4,198 so what do you guys think less than 20hrs on the clock and bands got to be £3750 ,as always looking forward to seeing what you think. Cheers. Gobby Punk

true, you have to crush them up, ideally shred them, to get the output. a huge pile of pallets doesn't make a huge pile of crushed up bits though!

It’s a cyclical thing, every few years there’s a glut of certain moths/ caterpillars. In this case, identify the plant and you have your caterpillar. If it’s spindleberry, could be ermine moth.
