Hmm, I wonder how many blokes on, The Farming Forum THEFARMINGFORUM.CO.UK The modern & interactive discussion forum for agriculture. will have bought their wives a 500 deg C pyroletic oven, seeing as it ud be SO much better for heating bearing housings, or cast iron components prior to welding.

Yup! "JB Weld" with no other sub-descriptors is 2-pack epoxy stuff. Bit like "Hoover" being a vaccum cleaner.

Obviously Yorkie sized pooches, 'cos ye widnay forget about the donkey sized turds in your pocket from a proper Mastiff sized dog! Nor would one be likely to put them in ones pocket!

Well DuH!

WTF is Pyrolytic? Pryo is heat/temperature, so is it simply heat from electric? But, hey it sounds impressive.

Our old Belling drew sommat like 13.6kW if all rings, oven and grill were on at once. Cos I added them up. Gulp!

I remember admiring the simple work-a-round some manufacturer came up with in about 1980. I was at "The Poly" in Jordanstown, when a new cafe was opened, as I waited in line I was admiring the tea/coffee making hissing/frothing machine, which monolithic unit had 2 No leads, each ending in a fused on(if I remember correctly) 13 A plug, which plugs were plugged in side-by-side to a double socket. I did have ample time to cross examine the details and it all looked 100% factory kosher. Neat solution I thought.

Ah connected the gas up too, and repeated both excercises again recently when the daughter bought her Mum a flash new Bertazzoni cooker. Also rewired the consumer unit, to tidy it up. I am not an electrician, but . . .
-
I think? electric cookers came sans cable even 20 to 25 years ago, when I fitted ours. But due to my inveterate skip hoking and hoarding, I had enough cooker weight wire to do.

The first image is from a while ago. The other 2 are from Portballintrae this afternoon, the small vole/mouse? was sitting nibbling grass fair in the middle of the heavily trafficed path!

Michael Mann Loses Lawsuit Against Climate Sceptic Tim Ball - The Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF) WWW.THEGWPF.COM Readers surely recall that the easily offended Dr. Michael Mann launched a court case for defamation against climate skeptic Dr. Tim Ball of Canada. In Feburary 2018 there was a...

I might like that, if I properly understood it, so looking forward to the pics. -
Why did Dr. Michael Mann give up his chance to pursue his libel suit against Dr. Ball rather than turn over his underlying climate research data? - Quora WWW.QUORA.COM

Well after a couple of stupendously fine weeks of weather, tis finally actually cold, with a cutting wind, here today.

Excellent, good for the Dutch farmers, attempting to highlight the blinkered attitudes of city dwelling climate change activists, plus their specifically drawing attention to air travel and in particular the Grand Prix's ostentatious extravaganza of conspicuous consumption. Why do I think "bread and circus"

The Green eyed God doth strike me down, dribble 'n drool. P.S. I did really really seriously fester over buying a Moffat MFT from Christie and Jeffers in Ballymoney, way back 1995 ish, but chickened out.

Tsk, tsk, them is me toothpicks Sur !

Well as long as you dinny grass me up tay Big J, Nominally 1.0m, simply for handy(bale spike) mechanical handling, ease of stacking and good exposure to drying winds. simply because thats how its done in Germany, an France, an Belgium, etc etc etc. An anyway the splitter only takes 1100mm max (But post Brexit, I shall, of course revert to fathoms, groats an yards etc etc) P.S. This time I started cutting out the worst(but the best of burning) knots, and tossing them straight into the big crate. As long as the outer ring of billets is full length(with perhaps a few in the middles as well) , most of the rest can be shorter straight lengths from between the knots, which knots are a big problem with my shitty misshapen Lodgepole Pine. Slightly more time consuming, but probably worthwhile.

See images, 2 unwanted(to be dumped) prestressed concrete slabs 5.5m by 750mm by 150mm(@1.5 tonne each) plus 2 old heavy section 2.5 m high gate posts(from Lord knows where or why or even when), All assembled by my I, me, mesel, with some help from the wee Kioti EX 50. 4 No 20mm dia holes bored through the 25mm thick baseplate on each post, secured by 4 No 16 mm throughbolts. Notion being to keep the bottom logs up out of the mud and grass and ensure the drying wind can whistle through under. I was quite pleased with my efforts.

Hmmmmm, No, since manufacturing is the entire process, between raw material and finished product. Machined, perhaps, then heat treated, as part of the manufacturing process.
