What do you use to store logs by the fire?

Wicker basket with a slightly cut down dustbin lid in the bottom. -
Photos.zip Montezuma on the west coast of Costa Rica. Just around Christmas ?

Isn't rapeseed oil the only veg oil that doesn't cake when left for a while, hence its use? I've used it for years without issue but haven't tried any other veg oil.

That's amazingly relaxing to watch and listen to. I nearly nodded off (in a good way)!

Mark, you do realise that the above post was from 2012?! That MP will be either tables, vases or rotted away by now! Good luck with your enterprise; you seem to have made a couple of good local contacts via the other thread.

Have you tried rapeseed oil? There are a few who do and I've never read of complaints from them. I'm not full on in the arb game by a long way but I've been running all my saws on Aspen and rapeseed oil for six or seven years now at a guess and had no problems with either.

I think he does it quite a lot!

I enjoy Andy Phillip's work a lot; he's a turner who doesn't want a perfect blank ready to put on the lathe - he'll try almost anything. There was one vid where he started by fossicking on harvested ground for small softwood stumps to turn.

Even using the decompression button (which I actually think is unnecessary!)?

Watched his ride along a ridge in the Cuillins the other day. Made me feel dizzy just watching on Youtube.

They do a resoling and repair service done to a high standard for reasonable money.

You and I remember people called cobblers; one of them could do it! Our local one retired only a couple of years ago sadly. Contact the manufacturers and ask if they provide an AltBerg-style service. I'd be amazed if the boots can't be re-soled; you just need to find who can do it. Email: [email protected]

Good point; my saw has a tiny oil tank.

You may not need the top of the range saw: I have a mid range (I think) 25-year old leccy Stihl saw and it's brilliant. Don't let 'electric' convince you it'll be gutless.

Is the issue here not simply one of public awareness? PLA lined paper cups are compostable but not domestically; the PLA needs the heat of industrial composting to break it down. So presumably you can put the cups into your roadside food waste bin.

Hellebores for winter and spring interest. -

Have a look at small Phormium. They come in all sorts of colours and variegations these days. They'll take burning sun and very well drained soil; they won't take cold soil that sits wet in the winter although they are pretty hardy if the drainage is good. -

Euonymus was a good shout. It's a pretty demanding environment for plants Steve; are you planning to dig out old soil and replace with good stuff? At the very least you're going to need to improve what's there by the look of it. Look after the soil and the plants will look after themselves (almost). -

Might survive outdoors in the Scilly Isles but wouldn't last two minutes in your neck of the woods. They get very large anyway. -

Do you insist on all year round foliage? It's not a good situation for plants but Geraniums would probably manage. Proper Geraniums, not those bawdy Pelargoniums for hanging baskets. -
The answer in here is delightfully vague ? http://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-conditions-of-carriage.pdf
