if the beetle larva are near the base of the tree they could quite possibly be stag beetle which are protected.

Quarter sawing using alaskan + mini mill part 1
Bob Slade replied to Rob D's topic in Panther Mill UK
Hi Rob, thanks for the vid. correct me if i am wrong but wouldn't the 2 boards either side of the heart be quarter sawn by default by cutting straight across as normal? -
Because of my on going medical problems i will be having the flu jab, anyone who is offered the jab or has to pay £8 for it should do so. Consider this, if you do get flu and i mean the full blown flu then you will be off work for 7/10 days. Its been proved that "Man Flu " is real, seems that us blokes can't hack it. A small scratch and its done, just a little localised ache for a few days, some very mild symptoms and then you are reasonably safe. Go for it, be real "MEN":thumbup:

Also got one of these, great bit of kit, saved a few chains. secondary use is finding arrows that miss the target and go through the safety net:biggrin:

I was demonstrating my pole-lathe at the Tree Fest at Westonbirt at the weekend. Needing to down size i took some turning tools and drawknives to sell. A woman came up and picked up one my Gouges ( priced at £12. bought new at £24) " will you take £10 for the chisel" she said. " no" i said. "but I've only got £10 on me" she said. " well come back when youve got £12" i said. later found out that after she left me the same woman bought £85 worth of blades from a mate a few stalls up.

I was having a shower this evening and looked round and saw a False Black Widow Spider trying to climb the tiles by the window. I am not usually scared of spiders so i thought i would finish the shower and try to catch the spider in a jar. Next thing i know is the spider floating around by my feet. Now i am not adverse to sharing a shower with a female:001_rolleyes: but one that will bite is going a bit far especially with my heart condition. I got out as casual as you like and let it float down the drain. Has anyone else found one of these, from what I've read they are getting quite common.

i seem to remember that they had them at one of the shows a few years ago. everyone walked past them:lol:

I had mine done 18 years ago. had a great laugh with the Dr doing it. i asked him how much of the vas he was going to cut out. he indicated with the knife he was going to cut from here to there. i said quick as a flash " thats not enough the buggers will jump that" not exactly the best thing to say when someone has got a very sharp knife pointed at your goolies. the look on his face was brill, then both him and the nurse burst out laughing, the guy in the next cubical was laughing. the Dr just covered me up and walked away in tears of laughter. Needless to say the op was finished 10mins later and i have had no problems:thumbup:

Went to the one in Bath a few years ago, had breakfast, talked to a few people who hadn't got a clue what it was i did. was given 1 min (Timed by a suit with a watch and a tea spoon tapping on a glass)to tell everyone what i did. i couldn't wait to get out of there.

The misses left a note on the telly for me. "Its not working, I'm leaving"...... I plugged it in, turned it on, nothing wrong with it.

i always use epsom, but heres a tip, buy it from Argos and pay the extra £12 or so for the guarantee, then if the ink dries up (through lack of use ) take it back, say its not working and they give you a new one free. then pay the £12 guarantee and start again.

Very nice, slap some paint or watered down glue on the end grain and move the spacers to the end about 35mm in. helps stop the end from splitting.
