Does anyone know of a portable chainsaw mill operator in Northern Ireland? I've a customer who is considering having an oak stem (2m X 0.9m dia) planked. Most of the rest of the tree might also be available. Thanks, Dee.

I think you'll need a 2mm allen key.

Yes A lot.

A few years ago I thought I needed one. I got one and tried it. Then I realised I didn't need it. It didn't make much of a difference - just placed my hitch further away from me.

A lot of people view Gumtree ........ and they're not all clever.

The Grim Reaper paid me a visit last night. I successfully fought him off with the nearest thing to hand - the vacuum cleaner. Guess you could say I was Dyson with Death ......

They arrived with me today (north Ireland).

I would guess those who aren't commenting feel even less, mate.

YES for all of the above ........ except for the elastic on the backside. (to each their own)

I'd be wary of all that 'love' stuff. And all the compliments - they don't know you. Stick to the job in hand, be courteous and professional - but not too familiar. Add up the sums and present a price. Good luck.

A wee cable tie keeps the gate open and holds the caritool in place.

If you're sure that the third crate will remain the top crate, then pile the wood higher in the centre of it before covering with a waterproof cover. The rain will run down off the dome.

Thanks, John.

What's his area of expertise?

I'm currently studying a Dyslexia unit as part of a Masters. Some of the commonly-held beliefs don't stand up to scrutiny. There is thought to be as many dyslexic females as males - boys are much more likely to be referred for intervention because of the way many react to frustration in the classroom. Dyslexia is an umbrella term for several conditions, there are also several theories explaining the sources of the symptoms - and these theories sometimes support and contradict one another. What all the explanations do have in common is the belief that Dyslexia is connected with the person's 'short-term memory' - the part of the brain that remembers the current stuff eg. the last thing you've been told to do, the phone number that you're typing at the moment, the start of the word that you're reading at this moment. It's problems with holding information in our short-term memories that lead to processing tasks that some people just find difficult or impossible. Dyslexics can exhibit very specific problems (just spelling etc.) or can have difficulty over many aspects of everyday life - this range is explained by the fact that one person's Dyslexia is not the same as another's. People of all 'intelligences' can exhibit Dyslexic characteristics, and it's thought that many people have varying degrees of these problems and don't know it because it can range from extremely mild to debilitating. Early intervention can have marked improvements for a large number of Dyslexic children. Teachers are becoming more aware of the issue, sometimes educational funding doesn't allow them to provide what they would like to.

You ghat have made a mistake .....

Hi Craig, and welcome to the forum. The hitch looks OK - have you had a look at knot guide on the yellow bar above? Also, in your photo - where's the end of your rope? Has it been moved out of the way so the knot's easier to see?

I think what you're all missing is that these chairs are worth the money because they're "cut at the ends".......

Yeah .......... er ..... who's gone?

Nicely put, Geoff. I was trying to think of something like this but couldn't find a way to leave the word 'dip-stick' out.

Kim, you're correct and I'm wrong. Sorry I think it was that simple style of the otter and the badger that I enjoy, and my mistake mustn't be taken as any negative comment - just stupidity on my part. What remains unchanged is my thanks to both sculptors for producing work that truly is 'art'. Dee

:biggrin:Yeah, I think it was written by that famous poet - Woodsworth.
