Hope this doesn't morph into a 'Show us your stools thread'

Quite a haul. Hope someone may be reunited.

A selection of mine. Have about the same again waiting for handles. From the front: Unknown maker..poss Brades, Staniforth Severquick, Isaac Nash, Cornelious Whitehouse 234 and Elwell 2976. All take a razor edge with the Nash the heaviest and my favourite the Elwell.

I think that's the Isuzu which is sold as Chevy in the US.

They're those small doors on extended cab trucks that are hinged on the opposite side to normal doors.

Possible Fox moth or White Ermine.

They flower profusely in the UK. -
Acton Scott farm museum is worth a look. See if you can get a look at the Lydham Manor oak by asking nicely if you're into veteran trees. You won't be disappointed. Some very big walnuts there too.

My daughter has just had her results and i know she worked hard to achieve them. ABB in French, English and History. Wants to work as a translator and will be studying French and Spanish at Leicester. I know what you mean about standards dropping but I'm still proud of her:001_smile:

High pressure gas pulled up with a Becker. The sound of escaping gas was phenomenal and an 11kv line shorted out to a jam factory:001_smile: Oops. Electricity went out on a Friday afternoon and the gas on a Saturday morning. In both instances the turnout for repairs was huge. All that overtime.

Mine are listed on an NPTC headed cert from '87. The old AA numbers. Probably not even relavent now:001_smile:

It did but I remember it used to wash off your hands with water and the brushes came up ok as long as it hadn't dried.

Holm oak used to be the source of scams in the 70s along with 'Bastard beech' but that's another story. They will drop leaves throughout the summer months. Being evergreen they have to replace leaves and do so more through the summer.

I think it was. It was also water based as opposed to tar.

Post Arbrex the product to use was called Lac Balsam. We used it until Shigo came along and saved us all from a messy job. What we found is that Lac balsam promoted very fast callus intialisation. It contained growth hormones similar to those in rooting powder. On horse chestnut in particular you could almost see the callus tissue growing:001_smile:

Are there any restrictions on felling in france?
Graham replied to mattplace's topic in General chat
I've heard a new law is afoot regarding woodland felling. Very basically it allows felling of traditional coppice spp but requires permission for oak. Conifers and less commercially valuable trees are also exempt. The likelihood is that no one will bother anyway :-) -

I think every child of suitable age should visit the war cemeteries of Northern Europe. It's a sobering sight and always brings a tear to my eye.

The times, they are a changing...............
Graham replied to David Humphries's topic in Picture Forum
First showing a sickly looking conifer spp. Possibly Lawson's in 1965. It seems to have picked itself up. -
And there can be no finer sight than pollarded planes providing much needed shade in a French village square.

Good skill to have. I used to scythe my Grans' lawn. Me old Dad taught me:001_smile:
