Except, since after 16 years, an absolutely uninformed(but obviously mechanically savvy) individual got it going, and in a very simple straightforward manner, apparently? So why was it so readily abandoned as being "broken"? I did wonder did the owner/operator imagine his track motor was shot, ergo beyond economic repair, when in fact it was merely the linkage had become disconnected? -
Sorry "J", but as a lifelong NI resident, who only once visited Cornwall on hols, and in a reasonably sized Ford Galaxy, I had no issue with the narrow lanes, roads or village streets, and these features are EXACTLY what makes Cornwall attractive to tourists. Now the plethora of ever changing speed limits on roads unfamiliar to me, did do my nut in. mth

I had seen thissun on my YouTube selection and ignored it as probably being the usual pile o shite. I was wrong. Perplexed as to; (i)why it was abandoned in the first place, and (ii) are they in a stupidly remote area with no scunging light fingered scrappies. mth

Leave Eggs out of this please.

Fuck Him, cos he sounds like a proper dick! Viagra(& how many?) followed up by getting his dick dirk'd wi sommat stimulating (presumably, by "a mate") WHAT DA FUCK DID HE EXPECT!

In effect a giant compost heap, so definately worth sorting out, or just plant a tree in it as it stands, tree twont mind the roughage.

I found this interesting and useful article, which answered my question re the 52 1/2 designation; the Record 52 1/2 vice - the small workshop SMALLWORKSHOP.CO.UK Record quick release vices have long been a favourite amongst woodworkers around the world and for a while during the early 20th century Record created ... Read morethe Record 52 1/2...

Go on!, Never!

Unfortunately there will now be the usual Mega expensive over-reaction, with massively over-engineered concrete structures installed where they are not ever likely to be needed i.e. justified. And no doubt another layer of highly overpaid managers to supervise and obviously, manage such structures. Until the next unexpected occourance. Bit like the Worlds Armies always preparing for the next war based on what happened in the last war. mth

There definately must be sommat in that Germanic/Teutonic/Aryan breeding . . .

Apparently so, checked out by our Vet lunchtime today, 100% A.O.K. and as bright as a button, and despite not being fat is 6.7kg at 10 weeks. Fitted in with our 4 females like he been here since he was born. Mind you one of his siblings had 2 horrid cherry eyes, which may well have blighted the sales potential of her 2 siblings, never mind herself.. Cheers, mth Am today, Newsflash: Monty has assumed control of the food bowl! i.e. over the 4 adult established bitches, so looking good for the future of the BogDog Bulldog strain I got planned.

Cough,cough, me salvaged Teak bes old School Lab benches, about 1.9m long by 1.2 wide by fully 25/28mm thick, plus copious underside chewing gum! Ave about 5 planks each. However, somewhat however mentally, I refuse to "chop" them up, only using if I can(very near enough) utilize the whole planks.

Looking on ebay, So what is the difference between the 52E and the 52 1/2E ? bigger jaw opening? As always the good value stuff is collection only, sigh
-
Since I got me shed dunged out and started a few joinery jobs, mostly shelving, out of salvaged oak, mahogny and teak, but also aiming to make a set of curved undersink unit doors out of solid teak. Anyway ah baint never owned a proper woodworkers vice in me life? Where do I start?

Meet Montgomery! 10 weeks old, and arrived with us this morning. Finally a 2nd set o testicles in the house, to shorten the odds stacked again me.

Not relevant to this "discussion" but I like Pat, no, not the postman, the other one.

An annotated map would be wile useful in these meanderings debates about wot water flows where an why.
-
In ma simple heid, there must always be provision for overspill, ergo a spillway, at any dam.
-
No, apparently the spillway was only concreted 50 year ago.

A good question, well presented, and deserves an answer, now fuck off! As Iarned in the TA.

That was someones 2nd(and more successful) attempt on Jeffrey's life, and in only the last couple of weeks!.

Sniff! Start with a 460 series "G" Wagen chassis, and bung a tweeked OM 606 in with a MB auto box, the Steyr Puch transfer case is unburstable btw.

Chalgravesteve keeps referring to the extra amount of water, due to excessive rainfall, causing extra erosion, I imagine this is a bit of a red-herring, since any amount of water percolating through seam/joints/fissures, due to any overflow, would cause the same erosion beneath the slab, the inflow being limited more by the width of the defective joint, than the volume/depth of water flowing over it. O.K. The greater the volume, the greater the depth and hydrostatic pressure ensuing, and therefore forcing "more" water through the joint. BUT? How much water was eroding the soil beneath the concrete before the excessive rainfall.
-
What I trying to say in my earlier post, re the concrete being the problem, was that the concrete on the surface prevented the erosion beneath being seen, though walking the slabs and thumping them with sommat solid should have detected their "boastness", plus the forward slope of the earthen dam would probably have been stabilized by the grass roots, and again without the concrete, any untoward erosion would have been noticed. BUT, these issues should? have been considered when the dam face was concreted 50 years ago, but possibly were not.
