What are the kerfs on the floor of the gob? Did you bore a rough square one out and then finesse it?

Well, if the tories cannot manage money any more, then god help us for the rest of the parties get involved.

And there you have it, the question wasn’t about the other parties. I guess that’s politics these days, no one will give a straight answer to a straight question.

They're supposed to be a "relief" cut, to give the collapsing fibers on the compression side of the hinge somewhere to expand into. Gives you a tad more bending in the hinge before it breaks, or that's the theory. Something I picked up for YouTube the night before. Figured it couldn't do any harm. Reportadly it's what they're teaching now in standard felling in "Europe" (?).

PM sent. Here's the link anyway. Sorry, tried to post a text link but it posted the video and won't let me delete it. Trench cut at 5:00 minutes in. Sorry for cluttering up your thread, Eggs.

 

And I admit the Stories are shit. Glad I don't have to vote for them.

Ive seen this cut done many times in Munich. Mostly on backward leaning Oaks that where being winched, not seen it practiced outside of Germany.

At least it's not Corbyn. 

I’m not a Corbyn fan, but everything Johnson predicted he’d do if he got in power has happened without him being there, I’m  also no fan of Sunak but he predicted what would happen if Truss got in power. Strange times.
