    That's the issue I think at the moment - how would you know if you had it or not when the symptoms per individual are so different? Statistics are only showing those who have been tested - but from what I hear there are far many more who have already caught it.

    I've not been diagnosed but i caught something like it around 11th Feb after a round trip to New Forest then Jonsie [stayed in a couple of travel taverns] - got ill - felt rough - headache/achy/ but no runny nose for 5 days - got better for 1 week - then sore throat and felt rough again for 2 weeks with nasty cough.After this 2 weeks left me with 10 days of not severe dry cough and shortness of breath and fatigue. I think this virus is already out there - will get a self test kit when they come out to confirm.

    Dip damp cloth into the ash and use this to clean the glass [may have already been said ?]

    Yep - soon it will be free shipping to Sweden - and everywhere else in the world... however there will be a surcharge or % increase per country in price - this should make it fairer and then the price you see is the price you pay.

    Thanks for taking the time to do the vid

    That's not bad at all Bill and shows the control you get with the Panther Mini Bars - I sent you £15-00 thanks for posting..

    Try one of these and compare - if you put up a video on here showing one set up cutting.... pros and cons, then switch to the Panther Mini and chain - show this cutting - we'll refund half the price back to you [make sure you PM me after you have done so]. This offer only applies to OP unless you post a particularly good vid in which case it applies to you as well... The 3/8 lo pro and 1/4 .050 will never cut as smoothly as the super thin 1/4 .043...

    Is it only the gold joining strap it doesn't fit over? Or the whole chain?

    Cracking load of timber - does he come and collect for free if he can have the wood?

    Yep - it won't do it - you really need to try square ground chain filing - most think instead of a round file you use a square file but pretty much same sort of action. It isn't at all - not only do you have to hold the file at an odd angle - the corner of the file has to line up exactly with the corner of the tooth. A round file it all sits in there for you. Watch at 8.39 to see. I spent 3 hours one day trying to get it right... and failed!

    Square ground chain is really tough to do - yo don't hold the file flat it is held up at an angle and you sharpen outside in - basically a very tough thing to get right!

    Quality plane table James - can't be many around like that at all - esp with the legs and base out of plane.

    I thought around £600-00 would work - and thinking mainly about chainsaw milling [as it'll do any length chain]... But I think the price was around £3,600-00+vat [don't quote me but I think that's what it was]...
  14. Rob D
    I found out the price of this and luckily was sitting down... not even going to bother saying what the price is!!
  15. Rob D
    Yep I may have removed these now as I think these have pretty much cleared out...

    No prob Ben and don't worry I often don't see posts for a while!

    Thanks for the replies. Hmmm... May not have worded this thread that well as people seem to have interpreted this as me knocking the drivers - far from it. It is the company policies and the back up when things go wrong I was knocking... Ref the incident with Royal Mail - their policy is that if the parcel is not lost then there is nothing you can do for 30 days. But you can't tell a customer to 'wait 30 days and then if you don't have it we'll send another'. We would send another - wait - if the customer ends up getting both parcels - ask them to send the 2nd back [and refund them for doing so]. And then go through the 'purposefully' time consuming process of trying to claim costs back.

    Officially complaining and be met with a barrage of - 'we are so sorry this happened, rest assured we will do everything in our power to rectify this situation'. ...But actually that is not true is it?!
  20. Rob D
    Just come off the phone to Royal Mail [after being on hold 10 minutes of course]. Parcel to Denmark - sent on the 7th December - seems like it went to the USA - then got re routed to Jordan! I get that things go wrong when we send things - but I don't understand how the courier companies can get away with the lack of follow up. In this instance the advice was 'wait until the 9th January and then if it still has not arrived send another and claim compensation'. It seems that it is an industry where as a customer you bear the time and cost of the other party making the mistake... and if you complain you get 'any idea how many millions of parcels we deal with this time of year?'
  21. Rob D
    Haha well there are improvements being made all the time!
  22. Rob D
    Could it be this nonsense was started on purpose to weaken our society?

    I'm wondering when they will ban Champayne! "Yes, people are killed by flying Champagne corks! Latest big news in this area was Dingxiang Loeng, Chinese business man, who was killed after being hit on the temple with a cork from a bottle of Champagne. Approx two dozen people are killed by Champagne corks each year with weddings the most common place this happens."

    Yep check the bar/drive sprocket and chain - post close up pics on here... if the sprocket is badly worn it can damage the drive links - could be an issue.. though not sure why it would cause the chain to get tighter. I don't think there is any way of the bar moving forward once you have tightened the side casing.

    If you put in Jonsered 625 here all these bars should fit www.chainsawbars.co.uk For chains click the bar and scroll down. PS check your drive rim/drive sprocket for wear before fitting a new bar and chain SPROCKET CARE - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK
