  1. nice job PS if all the hooks were identical I would suspect they were made in a factory rather than hand made
  2. cheers Steve/Alec will have to get on to Rob for the gear and get cracking although it will be October before I can get to it. Got to get the 076 fettled as well. Hopefully get some pictures up once I am done. Got a half decent stick of ash to do as well to get me into the swing.
  3. out with the boy on the mountain bikes yesterday and not really watching what I was doing and came a cropper on a jump - over the handle bars and got a few good roasties on my hip back and hands and big bruises down the leg on some pretty rough gravel Wouldn't be so bad if we wernt off to France tomorrow camping
  4. cheers Alec, was looking at doing it in the autumn and stacking in the wood till next year when I will be able to extract it. It is near the bottom of a steep hill so well out of drafts etc. Hadnt thought about thin stickers - any danger of restricting airflow too much?
  5. was wondering about the drying. How do I dry it slowly? Was thinking of just air drying it.
  6. I believe turners like it, but the stick seems a good size and will give it a go - going to be a while before I get to it - got to get the alaskan first
  7. Anybody had a go with some hawthorn? Got biggish stem that came down during line clearance and thinking of giving it a go when I get an Alaskan. Makes good firewood, but the timber does seem like it might make some good boards.
  8. He only has to match your contribution up to a certain percentage - in my case the company will match up to a maximum of 5% - ie, they will match the first 5% of my wages should I choose to put it in. Dont really know much about the pension market, but I believe this is supposed to be a decent contribution?
  9. doubt it - direct competition - albeit small - for the companies paying full wack for a stand and hoping to sell their new machinery. Any second hand item sold is potentially one less new machine sold.
  10. MATTMOSS - guerrilla tree planter where's the like button
  11. Renault......Reliable The only reason these two words are anywhere near each other is alphabetic chance rather than mechanical performance - in my experience
  12. mmmmm takes me back to childhood - grew up with a lot of mulberries and other fruit trees all over the place
  13. :lol: Funnily enough, my boy and his mate wont cut their hair because they think the girls prefer it long. Mind you, they wont admit this as they are only 8 & 9, but they were overheard discussing the vexing issue :lol:
  14. Had a few orders off them and tried a number of others and it is good quality biltong
  15. As Steve said - nothing to replace. Humans seem to have got into the habit of stuffing their guts with loads of food for some reason, when what the body needs is the right nutrients. All the pasta, bread, rice and spuds etc are just fillers to make us think we are full, whereas they contribute very little nutritionally and just go in one end and out the other and potentially with a few side effects as well. Eat the right foods for your body and you wont be hungry and you would be surprised how much less volume you need to eat to be satisfied. Hunger in this country is actually just nutrient deficiency from eating highly processed food with no nutrients in it. The body is calling for nutrients and we just keep shovelling the same dead shite in our gobs so the cycle continues.
  16. also thought hazel, but not 100% convinced
  17. in the absence of any other response, I believe that you can order it for delivery via the Aspen/AA oils website. Officially it will come from your nearest dealer as Aspen dont want to undermine the dealer network. Not sure if there are minimum quantities for delivery. Would be surprised if you dont have a dealer relatively close to you?
  18. hows about side cutters for ties and straps?
  19. not Arb related, but bank related - nuff said really- urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ah well, feel a bit better now, but hasnt helped the mortgage situation!!!
  20. was going to say stay off the pop - stick to beer and cider (cizzer - sorry Jon) More seriously, this seems to be a trend in woodworking circles as well. Oak seems to be a regular culprit from what I have read
  21. Slightly different issue, but also to do with phone lines and BT. Was burying our power supply and had to cross over where I knew the BT lines were approximately so thought I'd just take to top few inches of hard off with the mini digger and cut through ours and the neighbours lines which were only about 3" below the surface. This was installed in the 70's or 80's sometime. Phoned BT and they told me this is normal in the circumstances and there is no requirement to bury the lines. At this point it crosses in front of the neighbours cottage and through their garden They said I was liable for the damaged lines, but I dont think they ever charged me the £105 pounds they were claiming (about 13 years ago) Found out more recently that where it comes off the pole at the end of our track, it seems to have been laid on the verge of the track. Again they say this is normal!!
  22. Hey Jon not having to light the fire too often as hot water and any heating needs are mostly taken care of by the sun for the last few weeks now. Mainly just lighting up for cosy effect of an evening. Also only used about 60% of the wood we expected to this winter due the mild conditions. Cheers Terry
  23. Hi Brian, could save a packet by doing it yourself. Not particularly complicated, but need to be meticulous about details. Helps a lot if you have wide enough eves, else you need to do work on extending the roof a bit.
