A good rule with Ebay listings, don't bother considering if the seller appears illiterate.

Wherever you cut an alder, dozens of new shoots appear and grow about 100cm a year. Try telling them this. Nowt queer as folk.

I've got a 2009 model 880 with 48" bar, two chains, rip and cross cut, and a Granberg mill. The saw is still under warranty until december. Seriel number and supplying dealer can be provided. It's done about ten hours work. Offers.

not taking myself and life too seriously and worrying about arbitrary things like personal achievements.

Alder's an underrated resource IMO. Burns great and coppice well too. Used for clogs and gunpowder, hence "Aldershot".
-
I wouldn't bother with it. Alder is good either permanently wet or permanently dry. The posts will rot a ground level first, within two or three years.

hmm...in my experience of making green oak benches, using any kind of steel fixing is not ideal. If you bolt together as you described the wood will shrink and there will be a gap making the legs wobble within a few weeks indoors. Either season the oak first or do a joint like Tommer said.

Agriculture Land use and Planning Regulations
Cracker replied to wildwood-dwt's topic in General chat
You're correct. I know someone who was half an acre under the 12.5 and rented half an acre during the planning application. -
That's lovely. It will do strange things as it dries.

Why don't Americans want a national health system? When I was in Washington DC some years ago I saw a protest march for state health care.

Then what happens to the people without jobs?

Oil bottomed out in '99 at $20, about the time that most surveys predicted peak production would occur. There's never been an official audit of proven reserves in Saudi. I'm not sure they could boost production if they wanted to.

I don't believe any of it. I can't understand why most people actually believe Bin Laden was behind any of it. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28tE0fKpISM]YouTube - Fabled Enemies Full Length[/ame]

Yes. And when you consider £7 worth of the stuff will move 5 tons 20 miles in under half an hour, it sounds like a bargain. And look how we waste it.
-
It's not the oil companies it's the banks. The banks inflated the money supply over the last ten years and drove up the price of oil to $144 back in 2008. Then they realised they where bust, held the world to ransom and we in the UK had to bail them with £800 billion - makes BP profits look like peanuts. And guess what the banks are doing with the bail-out money? Yep, bidding up the price of oil on the commodities markets. Do some research and you'll see that this is 100% correct.

Very sharp ripping chain. It should almost self feed. And try and mill down hill, jack up one end a bit higher. Just my tuppence.

Has anyone tried hedging themselves against the rising cost of crude oil with derivatives like spread bets, ETFs, etc.

I've bought timber from them in the past. Seem like a decent bunch. Are they looking?
-
Thanks Rob. Socket chisels are those with a cone shaped into the steel to take the handle. Slicks are angled chisels used by timber framers and boat builders, lots of different types, big subject.
-
Thanks! About eleven the sun comes over the trees, through the skylight and the little place just lights up!
-
I'm doing socket chisels and slicks if anyone's interested.

Planners, the bankers best mates.
