My take on all this is rather simple. Growing up in the 70s and 80s you got milk in glass bottles which the milk man collected (in his electric cart) and sent for recycling , we got pop in glass bottles which if you returned to the shop for recycling, you got 10p. If you went to the butchers, your meat was wrapped in paper. When you went to the chippy, you got your chips wrapped in yesterday's paper. My point is, back then we were being more efficient at recycling without realising it. But then clowns in high places etc started outlawing these practices which in turn has caused all the problems regarding waste plastic etc. So why cant we just turn the clock back and go back to what worked then. But people also have to change their mindset, they don't need a new phone or car every 12 months, school parents don't need to drive their children to school 500 yards away in their Chelsea tractors, what about actually walking them to school. I could go on but you get my gist.

Any idea why the makita died ? I was going to get the rear handled version. Isn't the milwaukee mega expensive? Although milwaukee is good gear.

That looks brilliant mark. Not got a clue about how you do it though.

Very nice location, I would never get owt done, due to looking at the scenery. It's a wonder that them sheets didn't fold themselves in half whilst you were driving.

That looks a lovely work cabin, and a real sturdy workbench.

Have a look at the Triton superjaws. It works like a rather large vice, which will grip your logs a lot more secure and quicker than what you are using currently.

My dad buys nothing else but rotatec, but it's only dirty firewood logs he cuts, nothing special, and then gets me to sharpen them. I normally buy Oregon or stihl.

As a few others have said, have a look at makita 9010 or 7900.

I've often thought about getting a little Suzuki super carry pick up, just for pottering around in.

Some very nice turning there Tony.

I sometimes use a cheap aldi one. It does the job but it is a bit bulky and unwieldy. I've also looked at makita and husqvarna and they seem very similar. I have thought about the corded McCulloch for about £120.

I don't have the app on my phone, I only have it on my tablet, which I find easier to use with it being bigger to see.

I'm another one that likes milwaukee and also ryobi. But I have bits of makita, so I would sway that way. Never got on with dewalt battery stuff.

I hope fury does him good and proper again.

Yep, I just use the app on my tablet, I'm stuffed if it disappears.

I've never used it.

I've just settled down with a bottle of Glen Moray. Its very smooth and goes down a treat.

Bless you spud, its absolutely heartbreaking when the time comes.

For that budget, I'd get a McCulloch, ( people may laugh ) but I honestly have never had a problem with them and parts are plentiful.

Totally agree, I see total incompetence of budgetary control every day at work. Its absolutely mindboggling the amount of money wasted alongside a total lack of accountability.

I reckon AJ will win, but he will have to be careful, Usk can be dangerous.

I believe in live and let live. If a Male wants to go through gender reassignment or Visa versa, or a person is openly gay, then fine so what ? If that person is ok with me then I'm ok with them. What I don't want is their views rammed down my throat or the NHS to pay for it. It's a personal choice, you want to gender reassign, fine, no problem, but you fund it yourself. Your still the same person, and I'll still be right with you, but just don't ram your ideals down my throat.

So as far as I understand, there is no difference between Aspen and motomix, apart from the oil they use in their 2 stroke versions, so if a saw will run on one it will run on the other ?

Some very nice joinery work there, well done. [emoji122]

Brilliant job [emoji122]
