Sorry! But a steel sculpture, to timber workers. Scheesh! Someone needs their arse kicked.

Hmmm? You get the "hots" for men in dark green Berets Worrying that.

Just remember to remove the "Dominos" reference in Para 4.

I say that Man, well spotted! Tee Hee

I was sitting in a hungover daze one morning in the Polytech cafeteria, munching on a bacon bap, when Tom gave me a nudge with his elbow. Fair in front of my eyes, not more than 5 feet away, standing in the queue was a very attractive pair of boots, followed by legs in tight jeans, followed by a crisp white blouse stretched over a rather attractive pair of breasts, all of which I hungarily devoured with my eyes, except when I finally reached the length of the face I instantly recognized it, and visa-versa. Oops.

Heh-Heh-Heh, "J" All points duly noted cheers

I will freely admit to knowing zilch about any kind of such racksaw/bandsaw/production saw etc. I understand this to be a rack fed band saw. but (i) what sort of horsepower need to drive it, bearing in mind I recally some silly high horsepowers being quoted on another thread. (ii)How expensive are blades likely to be, though assuming cost effective as an "industry standard" product. (iii) I presume it will do the same job as an American bought portable horizontal bandsaw, except cutting in the vertical plane. (iv) How can I establish its "completeness", since it is sitting in a pile. (v) Perhaps this should have been first, but suitable for cutting shitty small Sitka, if a trifle over-specced for this task? Anyone in the vicinity of the advertised saw know owt about it or its provenance? PS BigJ, better start putting a really fine point on your pricing pencil:lol:

Strangly enough I took it as a "given" that Volvo would not have used such obvious trickery in any way in this ad. Simply because of the importrance of integrity to their brand image. Anyway, they were cheating with the 3 white lines painted on the runway for the Drivers guidance.

We had 2 seasonal employees, who were perhaps a tad too fond of cruising the Main Street ogoling the summer clad females. Until one of them forgot himself of a Saturday morning as he drove down the Main Street with his Mrs. and absently-mindedly "spotted" some particularly "hot-totty" for his mate. Oops

Yep, seen that posted elsewhere. I can barely get my head round how they managed it. Assuming it was done live/for real, which I surmise it was. PS The only reversing to anywhere match that Volvo stunt, was a Gunner/farm worker par excellence reversing a LWB petrol Series III Army Landrover, with attatched Sankey trailer absolutly flat-out, for a considerable distance, like in a 100m or so. Down a runway. The slightest twitch or deviation and that yoke would have terminally jacknifed in a split second. He merely asked "do you want me to do it again?" Marcus

Is that not very unusual? And I say that from a positition of often wondering why some of the large loads moved world wide are not fabricated a lot nearer their final destinations, or indeed "on site". My other "wonder" is why do they not use the hovercraft principle for these massive loads? Surely this would spread the weight better than wheels, though I suppose lateral stability could be an issue within the constraints of the width of an average roadway. cheers marcus

Oops? He did say "live":001_tt2: does this mean rootballed? gonna need a bigger hole:lol:

Erm, If this is the biggest load ever transported on British roads. And is Ex Didcot power station. How did it get there? Faeries? PS Quite funny that Plod are not allowed out after dark "elf an safety" an all that. Never heard of lights, hey even extra special site work lights. ffs!

Yep. As above. Handy hint, cut a circle of plywood slightly smaller than the hole to spike to the base of the tree to centre it in the bottom of the hole. For 5m/6m trees a 9" plastic sewer pipe is plenty.

Which thumb was it? Unlessen you are sitting Red square with a still smoking Hilti Gun

I was not worried as would probably attempt to power off a tractor PTO. Not sure if I really want the hassle of digging a pit, concreting the pit and surrounding area, and then roofing over, in however rudimentary a fashion. Though the space to do so is there. But if I though it was otherwise complete, i.e only without the motor and blades. Hmmm? could be tempted

see stenner sawmill, vb48 bandrack wadkin blade | eBay thoughts? anyone?

Remind me again as to the best defination of a bargain? "A bargain is something you dont need at a price you can afford" Marcus Just keep repeating that to yourself.

I do try:001_rolleyes:, an some say i can be trying forby:lol:

see MOD Sales, Military Vehicles & Used Ex MOD Land Rovers for Sale items 147 and 148 m

Ah! What diminsions are your proposed m3 bags. Mostly m3 bags as quoted arnt. An ducks. PS Interested since i am toying with selling strapped 0.5m3 bundles of billets to the "I wanna play with my B&Q chainsaw" bridgade. cheers Marcus

Quite a few. I was somewhat inebriated.(It was not my car btw, actually belonged to one of the nurses). And both hands being rather busy. (Helping the young ladies get squeezed in, you understand) I could not use my fingers to count. (Well I kinda could of, but better not go there?) cheers m

Unfortunately, no.

Nope, this is a straight sided specially bought measuring "cup", from Stihl, i think, that has both imperial (for 1 gall imp) and metric (for 5 litre) measurments for 50:1 and 25:1 mixs. So when we mix a full 10 litre can, fuel measured at the pump, it is the 25:1 line they use. Being 2 by 5 litres of 50:1 mix Again it was absolutly alien Man from Mars Rocket science to explain that they should perhaps jibble and fill fuel tanks and perhaps even pour mix from 1 10l jar to another. So as to leave an EMPTY 10 litre jar so they could accurately mix............10litres worth. As opposed to the "well it took 3.5l to fill this jar, and 2.5 litre in that jar and 7 litres in the third jar , so how much oil do I put in each jar?" Yes, absolutly seriously. And they should rinse the measuring cup out and invert it over the cap of the 10 litre Stihl 2 stroke oil jar. Which sits on a bench at the back of the shed. And never moves. Simples? Apparently not.

Surprising how many horny nurses could fit in an origional Fiat 500. heh heh heh!
