There’ll be no common sense involved, only the reasoning that they’ll make loads on the VAT on new vehicles so it’s worth (for them) stimulating.

For how long did you work for the state?

I've just found some of that on the 25" crosscutting bar on my 500. Put it down to running the chain looser than usual.

Improve yourself with the expectation of going elsewhere. Use your cheapness as leverage to get training. Make them pacify you with a £500 course instead of a £2000 pay rise. Generally, zig zagging up the wage ladders from firm to firm is the way to make more money. Climbing the ladder where you are is dead. Specifically, your current company will probably be shut in three years. There'll be a period of tension and resentment followed by an argument. There won't be enough money in it for one to go on without the other. Come back in three years and tell me if I'm wrong.

Whatever’s cheap I suspect. I’m sure I’ve read on here of poplar being used for lorry decks.

I’m tight. I, until recently, had three hoovers: a Henry I got from a skip, a Kärcher a friend gave me and an upright my mum gave me. None have ever worked well but I couldn’t bear to throw away anything that had even peripheral use. I one day decided I should suck the ash from the nooks and crannies of the wood burner so the air channels didn’t get blocked. The Henry was so anaemic that I changed over to the Kärcher, that was more effective but so loud I put on a saw helmet. It collected the ash very well and I was well pleased until I turned round to see it forcefully evacuating the collected ash over the entire room. A billowing cloud and thick coating shortly preceded my white hot rage. The hoovers met the bin and I’ve been happier ever since.

Customers asking to pay cash to avoid VAT.

People still get married. -
I'd like five of each. Would he bother for that?

Searched without any luck. Like this?

What's a Vancouver V please?
-
Please do.

Where from please? PM if you’d prefer.
-
Did you build it?

Is drawboring where you purposefully misalign holes so the peg pulls the joint together tighter?

Since this is now half about shooting and this is a forum: Where on the internet are people talking about shooting these days? Been away from the forums for a few years and the bbs and ukv are both now dead. Not checked pigeonwatch but assume similar. The stalking directory seemingly less affected. Is everything on Facebook and Instagram?

Also an excellent card game.

Is this tree going to die and dangerous
AHPP replied to Bigben143's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Didn’t really answer my question unless I’m missing something. -
Rig it like that. If you need help to clear the fences, rip the limbs in with a base pulley and portawrap truck pull (unless you have a bollard that lifts). Light negative rigging high up then reverse a truck half full of chip up to the stem to chog into.

A decent climber and an avant zipping about will do that in a day without the stress of harming the paving.

Assuming the operation was performed before the TPO was on it, what’s the crime? -
The ones with induction hardened tips may be too hard to sharpen with a file but will still sharpen with diamond. I’ve sharpened the sides and not the tops before and felt modest improvement but I think that’s the wrong method.

Straight out the back for me. I could justify it by reckoning that pulling cambium fibre is better timber practise than pulling heartwood fibre but the reality is just that the saw’s already there and I’ve never had a problem with it.

Top out ASAP or leave until last - mass damping, inertia etc
AHPP replied to AHPP's topic in General chat
Putting tops down a channel in conifers is good for protection but of course increases the likelihood of hanging stuff up. Also more work if the top is leaning away from the channel and you have to pull it over or change the balance. Good food for thought in terms of mass damping lower down as well as up top though. -

AHPP replied to AHPP's topic in General chat
It was a line of conifers that made me think about the topic. On spready hardwood, I’m more inclined to build tie in and rigging points around Y shapes and get rid of brash at the ends of the Ys as early as convenient. I place more importance on good geometry than mass damping (cheers, Paddy) there.
