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.

HAve BMW finally sorted the porosity on the 3litre heads that has plagued them for ever and a day then?

Once you have a bit more experience under your belt you will realise what a ridiculous train of thought this is.

Bandit 990 with a winch. Suitable for most occasions and so much better than the Vermeer.

In what ways better?

It is dependant on manufacturers spec. End of. :-)

anyone?

Aye it was from trading standards which are the council and she phoned cause where would she get my address from.

electoral role, council tax, any benefits you may be in receipt of.....if the council want your adress they can easily find it.

there is no advantage in leaving it and many disadvantages. Echo the last two comments entirely.

This is the one my mate uses.

 

He had it made to his specs.

 

After each pass you throw the lever to change the angle the blocks sit at.

That is exactly what i am after........there was one down here but the mill went bust. Need one asap!

Anyone in cornwall know of a shingle making attachment for a bandsaw, or anyone able to mill shingles in cornwall?

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.

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.

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.

...but perhaps not now: a hard winter could kill off regrowth. Trim it now by all means but I'd leave the hack until spring.

Indeed.

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!

Hit it as hard as you like steve.....Euonymus is almost unkillable lol

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.

tommer, if you're going to try to deflect the discussion away from the point of reference then there really is very little point in continuing with this thread.

 

I was referring to NATO rescuing the Muslims of Bosnia from ethnic cleansing by the Serbs (have you not heard of the Srebrenica Massacre?) you then ignored that major world event and chose to post a subjective article by a former Serbian politician (who used to work for Slobodan Milosevic, the very man who instigated the genocide of Bosnian Muslims) which is bordering on propaganda in it's one sided viewpoint.

 

By doing this it makes it look like you supported the genocide against the Muslims of Bosnia, is that your stance? you would've wanted the eradication of an entire race of people at the hands of the Serbs (under Milosevic).

 

If it wasn't for NATO there would be no Bosnian Muslims.

 

You seem to have a very poor understanding of history. It's always very suspect when people display strong opinions on the state of the world when they have no grasp of history, they choose instead to copy and paste 2nd hand articles from a single website in an attempt to further their confused narrative.

 

.

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.

It's rare for me to feel intellectually outclassed, but this might be one such occasion.

 

Lol i find that hard to believe:thumbup:

I can't help thinking your profile cartoon is very apt....

Thank you sir, very kind of you to say so.

Do the Taliban kill homosexuals or not? If homosexual killing is something the western media have made up to discredit the Taliban why do the taliban not deny it?

 

How about that schoolgirl that was shot by the Taliban for going to school? Was she really shot? Maybe we should have another poll A. She is actually a robot made by the CIA. B. It's all CGI and there is no girl. C. She wasn't actually shot and it was just a paper cut. D. It serves her right, she doesn't need an education to cook and clean.

Oh dear.....

I'm unclear on how sourcing your news from one website really helps you find the "real truth".

 

And a quick skim read of the website you highlighted suggests it's not the most impartial either

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

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=

How has he done that?

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.

Yeah, perhaps the Taliban are the good guys really. It must be bliss living in a society where music is banned but you can still go and watch homosexuals be killed. Perhaps we could have a poll us to the best way to kill homosexuals? A. stoning B. Thrown from tall building C. having a wall pushed on them.

 

Perhaps the independent journalists from the website you quote could go to Syria and tell us what it's like there? They must be amazing journalists if they can get top secret information like the Americans intend to nuke Yemen. I'm also amazed they found out that it was America that planned the recent terrorist attack in Tunisia.

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:
