For someone who appears to have reached the dizzy heights of pushing a lawnmower, you're very quick to throw insults at those who most people would agree have achieved quite highly.

Yes that needs removing, just cut 90% through it with a thin grinder disc or dremel and then split with a chisel, once cracked it will come off easily. Its the inner part of the bearing.

They shouldn't need to, if they are dealing with professionals.

You think Trump wants Mexico to be great? Is that why he's building the wall? You really are a clueless clown

No, you're wrong. We have no legal obligation to pay them a penny, this figure is what we will pay if and only if we are happy with the deal. If we walk they get zip. Also the money will be paid over coming years not in a lump. You're so ridiculously bias your unable to see the facts.

Enjoyed that! Thanks for taking the time

Years ago I climbed for a timber merchant who always referred to Sweet Chestnut as Spanish Oak.

Wow!! Got to say I think that stinks and is highly unprofessional, I think your lucky they did not sue you. You should really advertise to your potential clients that you may use "privileged" information against them. I've walked away from jobs, but never tried to prevent perfectly legal work from taking place.

Yawn

I was hoping the VAT threshold was going to be dropped to £20K as had be suggested.

They are ballistic, so should clog the chain, I can't see a saw "running" up them, the saw will dig in. I'm sure your arm will still be injured, but much less than without them.

My understanding is that its only allowed when cutting at arms length from your body, when your other had is required for stability. For example when on the very end of a limb, when you are just taking the end off.

Yes they do.

The ones I've seen only go from your elbow to your wrist, not up to your shoulder. You can get protective jackets that offer much more upper body protection.

I'm pretty sure that would not have worked. With a Lab/Con 50/50 coalition they could simply fudge it and keep us in without being punished at the ballot box. The threat of an electoral backlash from the leavers is the only thing keeping our very slow progress toward Brexit going.

For the last few weeks I have been wearing the HAIX Protector Pro boots. The first thing that I noticed was how comfortable and WARM they are. I do suffer with cold feet and found my previous boots (Meindl Airsteam) very cold on any but the warmest days. I initially thought the HAIX boots were slightly stiff, though this improved very quickly. I found there was no normal "breaking in" required, my feet were very comfortable from the first time I put them on. The Protector Pros are quite big boots, and although I initially thought they were quite clumpy, they actually offered great ankle support and general foot protection. I think you would really struggle to twist your ankle when wearing them, and a dropped log bounces off with no injury to your foot. They are a very tall boot,which I have previously not been a huge fan of, however I was very grateful for this height last weekwhen we were more than ankle deep in a very wet muddy field and my feet remained completely dry and toasty warm all day. They really are 100% water proof! They don't have a big heel, but work extremely well with spikes.With my previous boots I found the heel too small and the gaffs would on occasion move back, which was a pain. This isn’t a problem with these HAIX boots. . Their stiff sole really helps support your instep when spiking. The sole has excellent grip, climbing on greasy logs is no issue. So over all I'm very pleased with my new boots, they are a bit chunkier than I would ideally like, but this actually provides a lot more advantages than disadvantages, IMO. View full review

The OP's vid should really be in the I love ladder thread.

My father and brother are both time served joiners, they have always both been self employed and made a reasonable living. Just up road from my dads workshop is a joinery firm, longstanding local company, with a good few lads. I dad was shocked to discover they are all on minimum wage.

Sorry my bad, was thinking hovers, not fans. I always think of vac's when thinking of dyson.

I'm not sure how to break this to you......but that's not a vacuum cleaner...... Your carpets must be in a right state.

Oh dear, "bagless" not "fanless"

Oh the irony

My heart felt condolences to all involved. To suggest training is the problem is ,IMO, nonsense. Its not a one handed saw. We all know it should be used with both hands in all but the most extreme circumstances, so there needs to be no special training, it should be used just like a re-handled saw. BUT many of us chose to ignore the rules and take risks. When chogging down I often one hand a large saw, just with week I was one handing my 66 with 25" bar, I lift the ring with my left hand, while I finish the cut with my right. I've been doing this for well over a decade, am I skilful or just lucky? I one hand my 020 90% of the time, its no good or clever, its just how I work. If I do get it wrong one day and pay the price it will be no ones fault but mine.
