And record ALL your conversations with ALL of your managers. Should of added that in the UK a diary of all your interactions and conversation, times, dates, who with etc. stands in a court of law. Obviously might not be the same for you there...

Do youwant to sell Ecodecs at craft fairs?
GreenGui replied to Mike Dempsey's topic in Woodcraft Forum
:lol: Thanks for that Steve, thats the best laugh out load I've had for ages -
I don't have an argument. I simply find it amusing that you're getting wound up over an article that was intended to wind you up that you fail to see the bigger picture. The immigrant 'crisis' is one thing but the moment it is referenced against expense then a whole bigger picture should be viewed:001_smile:

Takes your mind off Tax avoidance costs UK economy £69.9 billion a year :lol::lol:

I agree completely. My response was wrt the headlines; "VW's pollute 10-40 times as much as stated" at least thats what I'm seeing. So, why in the headlines now?

DPF's are only there to get diesel vehicles through the emission test, this is just an extension of that method, although more devious. Personally I think its been known about for years and has only now made the press because it suits certain vested interests. At worst it's economic warfare, at best it's economic leverage. GM kill a couple of hundred people with a known ignition switch problem and get a 'small' fine. VW pollute, leading to no known 'attributable deaths' but who knows where their fine will end... This issue has been kept on file and used as leverage, just like the child abuse issue. The question is 'why now?'

Great service from Mr Patel's news emporium.

Makes a lot of sense. I forgot about the increased kickback tbh. I will be using the saw at shoulder height or on step ladders so yes would be an issue. Thanks

Cognitive dissonance :laugh1: Makes me laugh

I saw this comment posted by someone elsewhere and it mirrors my thoughts about it. I can't credit the poster as they posted anon. I've stopped getting wound up about now, nothing really changes for the better over time. Atrophy. Ron Paul, Tsipras, Trump, Corbyn.... In every political arena these 'faint hopes' are kept around to provide vents for public exasperation with the Establishment. They are part of the system of financial management, 'party politics' being the cleverest system of social control ever devised, in that it makes the population complicit in their own domination, while permitting them perpetually to imagine that change might come with the next election. The media can instantly silence or sideline any politician, so if one is being kept alive politically you know that, wittingly or otherwise, he/she is serving the Establishment's purposes.

The problem will not be solved by trading standards unfortunately. They are not in a position to go after "the system". People are employed by large companies, legally, to ensure that 'parts' are sold, as I described previously. How can trading standards go against them? They can prosecute the little mechanic guy trading under an old victorian bridge and they can go after the plumber etc. installing cheap taps miss-sold as Villeroy & Boch but the the big boys are just TOO BIG!!

Many thanks

Agreed. My sister works for Mercedes Corp and is responsible for going round a region of dealers and setting yearly spares targets and incentives/bonus. The spares cover the whole range from filters and seals to engines and gearboxes!! It's a disgrace. I do everything myself now running a 20 year old Fiat Panda and a 16 year old E Class, They might look a bit scruffy but they are mechanically sound and low running costs.

Quick question; I have the opportunity to carve 2 x 2m high mushrooms in a large red cedar stump. Would you experienced guys typically change over your blocking out saw to a ripping chain when carving down the stems? I don't have a ripping chain so I'm hoping you are going to say "No"
-
fantastic, you should get your price for that
-
Does that make it a Oben Arms? Jon, stick a piccy up if you take one, they are a good looking little mutt...

Defo. I unhitch anything working for long periods with either the tow vehicle or machine running. Think of all those micro vibrations and the effect they are having on the damper/strut seals
-
Your question is easily answered by having a basic understanding of maths. Look at the number of registered members and the increasing small number of those who post.

Strewth, And people wonder why so many don't both to post

Thanks Ian, very kind.

Thats excellent. I have a lot of oak boards with splits that until now I thought would only be good for firewood. What epoxy did you use, was it West? and where did you get the pigment? Thanks

My cousin has one, good looking little dog and I understand it has a nice friendly nature. But then both Jacks and Poodles are great little dogs.

I had some oak timber out of an old roof put up in the 1920's. Although older than yours I found that it was impossible to split (using hydraulic splitter and cone splitter) and so hard cutting it with a chain saw quickly dulled the teeth, it did not burn well to boot. Ended up using it as border edging round the garden. Try burning a bit, you might find its more trouble than its worth if its seasoned bone dry.

Before you right it off, try a bit of spray on 'belt dressing'. Sounds like a case of slipping belt / tension issue. If the belt dressing helps thats your clue.

Many thanks Mick, you've given me the plan
