Handcutting is for psychopaths, misanthropes and masochist perverts. Try a day in driving sleet (after thirty days like that and with another thirty to look forward to), cold mud ground into your hands, desperately waiting until you finish so you can drink yourself into oblivion and always wondering whether today’s the day you find that your coworker has hanged himself. Forestry’s not far behind warfare for desperateness.

You’ll see it described as copparding sometimes. I’d do it.

I’ll pull the stack out in the next few days and get back to you. Send me a PM if I’ve not got back to you by Tuesday night please.

I’ve got two inch alder slabs if that’s any use?

A mate recently bought a laser level for studwork, bricks etc from the middle aisle of Lidl. All very impressive on his kitchen counter. Useless in even a barely bright shed the next day.

Gut feeling is spend more money. I'd probably work out how much money you have to file off a chain for every nail strike and budget from that. I bet it's between £5 and £10 on a 36" or over. Ten avoided hits pays for a £75 scanner. Can you get scanners that will do nails in logs and also underground cables/pipes? That'd be worth investing in.

Maybe the UK should plant more....

Do they grow quicker than Sitka in a plantation? -

Does Nitens mill noteworthily better than other Eucalyptus? Everything I've read about Eucalyptus species is that they warp very badly. -
Whip and glue instead of a knot? Would superglue wick in like solder?
-
I've found that as you get towards the end of a chain, you need to drop the depth gauges more to get the same bite.

You struggle to start your own vehicles. What bloody use will you be starting other people’s?
-
Makes better use of upwards space if you don’t have the ability to stack other things too.
-
No worse dimensions than the mesh wrapped ones a few posts up and made of steel to boot. You could do triangular ones for thinner columns or pentagons, hexagons etc for fatter. All can tessellate and provide pleasing brutalism as a bonus.

I’m also trying to work out whether a tall tower offers an airflow advantage over a wider, squat one.
-
Would there be enough airflow to the middle of a cage made from four (landscape) heras panels?
-
Starter motor relay trigger circuit rigged to always be on, engaging the magnet in the relay? That would make sense if a second switch starts it.
-
Aye. Sell them to Matty and I’ll hopefully have a 44 from him.

Carrot fried noodles. Couple of reduced bags of grated carrot (just past the turn and fermenting slightly) into a hot and oily wok. Garlic, chilli and ginger. I’ve taken to cutting my ginger julienne because I like the idea I’m sophisticated and you occasionally get a nice chewy bit. Loads of turmeric, watered in with some boiling water that dissolved the dregs of a jar of honey. I thought the honey might offset the tang of the gracelessly maturing carrot. Undecided. Noodles, salt and pepper. I’ve taken to grinding my pepper in a manual coffee grinder to get it coarse enough. My other grinders are a bit dainty. Serve in a bowl I’ve used several times before so avoided the photo reaching the stained and disheveled edge. Would probably work well with egg and rice and less turmeric and garlic as a sweet ish breakfast dish. Maybe with a dollop of yoghurt or similar like the very loosest attempt at a carrot cake.

I guarantee you know a recipe that involves drowning them in cognac or something though.

Thank you very much. Please quote my username if you do.

I’ve got an 039 with the same thing (apart from I run a 25” bar on it...). Would you be so kind as to make a short video on the bench, pointing at the different bits you describe please.

My knee was killing yesterday after a walk (relatively arduous but nothing I've not done before). I suspect it was from when the dog did similar to me. She charges past, brushing afgainst my leg, except once I turned round to see where she was at the exact moment 35kg of her came past at about twenty miles an hour.

I assume the ministry reserves a block of registrations for future imports?

I made about a hundred cuts 4" to 1.5" in fresh birch earlier. MSA 120 used half an AK20 battery.

I've just bought a D reg motorcycle with the last three numberplate letters DCK. Obvious jokes about riding dick etc.
