  1. Core taper looks a little bit blunt to my eye.
  2. Hitting it with a rubber mallet will do nothing to damage the rope fibres. Bending it backwards and forwards also helps the core settle down and can make the stitching easier
  3. Used Drenaline and Tachyon
  4. June 2008. Feels like longer but not sure if that's from Mick and Eggs flirting or not
  5. Saville ran marathons, should I be wary of Paula Radcliffe too? 😄
  6. I've been saying for years. He isn't right
  7. Not a problem. @Mark Bolam is playing the Beaver
  8. Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Just had a look and not sure it would be suitable. Due to where that mask ends, the throat stoma (essentially the new breathing opening) would still be exposed. Cheers though
  9. Looking for some suggestions please if anyone has any experience. What breathing protection/respirator would be most suitable for woodturning if the person had a laryngectomy stoma? Would it still be possible to do woodturning? Thanks in advance
  10. Basic tickets means they can be molded into what he'll be looking for long term I would guess.
  11. Remember to make sure you keep your pipe secure when you're throwing
  12. How long did it take you to set your anchor points?
  13. Yep. That's it. Used for crown locked trees/coppice up to 200mm etc. Angled 20% down and then pull off the stump
  14. Used Drenaline
  15. Our new/old rehomed dog. Lovely little thing really
  16. Courant Kalimba with hidden lockstitching
  17. Tachyon splife
  18. Where is the video mate?
  19. Sorry, just seen it said Thread. I thought it said Forum
  20. 1. A valid point is made and a thread started about it. 2. Pointless name calling, playground insults and general nonsense commence and point gets lost. Repeat ad infinitum
  21. You'd need background in the industry but teaching qualification wouldn't be essential. It would be great if you had one but it wouldn't preclude you in my experience
  22. Training requires you to meet the standard and obviously you need to be well versed in the assessment schemes to be able to get your candidates to the required level needed to pass. You wouldn't need formal qualifications to train someone, as long as you were showing the correct steps. Best bet would be to find a local training centre and see if you could get some support. To become an assessor you need to be technically evaluated by a technical verifier from City and Guilds. As stated, you need to get 4 or 5's out of 5 in a number of different categories. You then need to complete a standardisation event and complete an assessor course. PM if you need more info
  23. Remember that you're trying to manipulate the rope, if you've gone wrong somewhere or a measurement is slightly out, there isn't any space for the rope to go into. No amount of force or strength can change that one. If you're in any doubt, cut it off and do it again. Make sure you're zeroing out the core and the cover too. Good luck!!
