I was there early to late eighties. Great place and had a good reputation then. No idea about now. Sorry.

Must be a record for the longest link:001_smile: Nice site and a good idea with the patterns. I think the proportions are the hardest thing to get your head round when starting out.

I just wish kids wouldn't ask so many questions:001_smile:

Been around for a couple of yrs. It's a hoax. http://www.zyra.net/hallmark-virus-chainletter.htm I think there was a real one but the link is to the scaremongering email.

Had a look at wordpress and I think I'll give it a go. Thanks for the replies.

Well it's now 24 years since I went self-employed and where is the work? For the first time we're scrattin' for work and I can't see it getting better yet. Time to build a website and see if that brings in anything. Can anyone give good recommendations what to look for as I know absolutely nothing about them!

Depends whether you want cheap files or good files cheap:001_smile:

It's the NPTC. Did you not know it's a full professional qualification? It must be cos I've seen it on the side of trucks:001_smile: You won't win. Just carry on regardless.

Can not abscission be affected by particularly high numbers of pests eg aphid? Rather than shut down and form an abcsissional layer the tree continues to produce food to compensate for its loss to aphid? I'm quite probably way off the mark but I'm sure I recall something like this from many years ago:confused1: Maybe, given oaks propensity for hybridisation, some are not true robur or petrea but have a little suber in them from the popularity of planting Lucombe oak on the great estates in the 18th century. I now think I'm getting even further from the mark:001_smile:

Is that bore Nikasil lined? Might clean up if it's just deposits. New piston and job done. Alternatively...if it ain't broke don't fix it and just carry on:001_smile: -
It's probably based on the fact that elm was traditionally used to make coffin boards and may have been considered unlucky. When every man and his dog jumped on the log wagon in the 70s English elm was the fuel of choice and there must have been millions of tons of logs sold. Barely able to be split it was delivered straight from the job to the customer where it fizzled and hissed on many a fire:001_smile:

Oregon, at one time (early eighties), did produce a so called 'safer' bar. Not sure what it was called but we called them banana bars due to their shape. Never caught on and you couldn't turn the bar on the saw either.

They are absolutely top notch!

Pheasants are so easy I've missed 100s of em. Far easier to hit on the road:001_smile:

Gano on oak.

Trouble is it's been a long time since real hardship in this country and we now whinge at the slightest hiccup. Note how the news and media doesn't report on those who are really in the crap without roofs over their heads.

Ash for shooting brake frames, cart shafts; Box for rulers; Elm for seats, underwater pilings; Alder for gunpowder, clogs; Willow for salicylic acid (Aspirin); Hornbeam for gear wheel cogs; Yew for cancer treatment drugs; Maples for anything food orientated and maple syrup:001_tt2: Birch for wine....the list goes on.

They love beech. I've seen some quite severe damage over the years where branch unions have been girdled.
