  1. Dont waste your money. They are overpriced when new, and by the timne they have had a bit of use and the runner is worn and the bed bending (as they ALL, without exception, do) it will be a nightmare of innacurate cutting. Invest the same money in a logosol, norwood or Hud-son and you will get far more years of far better service from the machine. Even woodmizer bands are rubbish compared to (for example) deakin flathers blades. In the fifteen odd years I was milling, every mizer owner i ever spoke to had the same issues.
  2. HAve BMW finally sorted the porosity on the 3litre heads that has plagued them for ever and a day then?
  3. Once you have a bit more experience under your belt you will realise what a ridiculous train of thought this is.
  4. It is dependant on manufacturers spec. End of. :-)
  5. electoral role, council tax, any benefits you may be in receipt of.....if the council want your adress they can easily find it.
  6. there is no advantage in leaving it and many disadvantages. Echo the last two comments entirely.
  7. That is exactly what i am after........there was one down here but the mill went bust. Need one asap!
  8. Anyone in cornwall know of a shingle making attachment for a bandsaw, or anyone able to mill shingles in cornwall?
  9. Using heavy duty land rover (police range rover spec?) springs with helpers. No lift as far as i know or intended. I try to stay as original (L/R spec) as i can. It works well as a package. start buggering about with these things and in my experience you get trouble later on........polybushes (polybull$41T) is a shining example IO.
  10. Just speak to just saws and buy a new Hudson. Mine was an excellent bit of kit, much more machine cutting far more accurately than a woodmiser for so much less money. I have been using various mills for the last 20 years, and to be quite honest, I wouldnt touch a second hand woodmizer with a bargepole (I would struggle to justify a new one noowadays TBH). The price you mentioned would get you a fine fine hudson or a norwood.
  11. HOw hard can I hit a Paulonia. It is about 60 years old, and is in decline. Plenty of dead wood, but is there anything to watch out for on these things? Are they particularly sensitive in any way? Want to try and rejuvenate it if possible. Ta.
  12. terrafirma big bore. In 20 yrs of land rovers I havent found anything to come close for longevity or useability......and as anybody who knows me will testify, I abuse my land rover....alot!
  13. Hit it as hard as you like steve.....Euonymus is almost unkillable lol
  14. compared to the previous generation who lived through a war is what i was driving at, just didt get my point across very well maybe.
  15. Tim, i disagree. You make a good point. In no way am i saying that hideous crimes and atrocities have been and are being instigated daily by many of the common enemies that are always at the forefront of the news. This thread is in no way to condone the actions of what the west are supposedly fighting for. If i were then your point above would be absoloutely correct. However the problem I have is that the present global solution led by the west is stirring up a hornets nest, and in many cases the lines between who is behind it are very blurred. It is the blind faith in the hypocrisy of what NATO/ US/ or whatever forces of 'good' are doing that I am striving to point out. It is this 'war on terror' that is not about the given reasons whatsoever that really gets to me. Oh, and I read your original post as 1999 not 1995, which is why when I replied to it i referred to events of 1999. My bad.
  16. Nothing is impartial 100% i agree, and I did try to write a small disclaimer. The site itself is run by Professor Chussodovsky, from Canada, and seeks to allow independent journalists a place to publish their findings without the overbearing influence of mainstream media and all that that is influenced by. These are journalists who DO go to where the action is, and DONT just report what they are told by the western authorities. Although I agree to a certain extent with your impartiality comment, I still find that beacause there is an affiliation to intellectualism, and not what people like me see as the problem, they do not have the enforced limitaions on the scope of their reporting. Nothing is perfect, but even with a level of impartiality we can see an alternative, and in my view more transparent, therefore closer to the truth, aspect to world events. It is the wholesale acceptance by the masses that the "daily mail politics" is anything like the truth, when that branch of media is totally in the pockets of western government. At leaast thats how i, and a growing proportion of enlightened people, see it. Or I could be totally wrong and be living in a dream world lol but i think not hehe
  17. I find it very encouraging that we arent all sheeple. And yes, I do enjoy cornwall etc etc, but I have an amazing 14 year old boy who seems to have the midas touch, and I fear for the world that we are creating now for his future and that of all our future generations. Those of us born in the late 60's, the 70's and the 80's had it so good, we have no idea of the hardships suffered by our forefathers to give us the world we have today. The ignorant spineless lying dogs that run the western world, above all USA and the UK seem to be doing their utmost to destroy this, and it is not them or theirs that will suffer. And for what? Money. [ame= ] [/ame]
  18. If I have to explain that, then I am truly wasting my time here, as the damage is so far done there can be no opening of eyes to reality.
  19. Perfect! Thank you for demostrating my points exactly about how these people are getting away with it, in a blinding display of completely missing the point.:thumbup:
