shingles are sawn, shakes are cleft/split, and longevity depends on the timber used and what treatment. depending on which bandsaw you have, you would be better having a jig made for your shingles, especially if you have a lot to cut

is an industrial grinder a bit too big???

what the hell are you turning if your constantly having to re-sharpen every few minutes,I used to production turn teak for a furniture company, and sharpen in the mornng, and a touch up at lunch time was all that was needed, and these were tools we had made ourselves, mabye time to look at your tooling, a change in tool material, or even a move to pcd inserted bit back to slow wet grinders, APTC have a special on a 10" jet (same as tormek ) for £200. but only for next 12hrs, or web search, i've memory ofa self build flat wet system similar to the viceroy sharpedge, with attachments for gouges and suchlike -
never had a problem, learn how to cut your shafts properly, there designed to work from a few inches to a few feet, plenty of info on the web

as an ex air force armourer i can assure you that will be one well abused tractor, thats an ex bomb dump spec machine, it'll have been overloaded, raced, ran for hours just sitting, been used by all and sundry as a taxi, its a definite buyer beware model !!!!

depends on what you are producing, can go from sawdust to as high as 40-50%,

floor in the square cabs is a common problem, aso along the cab back seam, bottoms of the b pillars and the base of the bulkhead where it meets the floor, these areas fill up with muck and rust out, genuine panels are available from merc, but are pricey, a bit of tin bashing and repairs are easy

it was my belief that a bight was a loop placed in a rope, not around a fixed point, with no ends available

absolutly nothing, there another bunch of conmen playing on the stupidity of the british sheeple every year, how much was discovered sitting in a high interest account making money for the "administrators " of this so called charity. If you really must give money to charity, give it to one of your local ones where yopu can see where the money actually goes -
any engineering shop will make you one, not very difficult job
-
a good pair of chap style trousers will suit you fine for your limited use, the bonus is that one size fits all, so anyone using your saw can use them, as for gloves, its a personall choice thing, you either like them or not

fuel injection means electronics, means problems, and unless they make it a locked and sealed system, the chip can be re-written/altered anyway
-
noticed at the wreath laying today that a lot more youngsters are getting involved, defineately seems that the younger generation are taking more notice of what the ceremony means
-
depends on the atv, I have accsess to a 700 polaris 4 wheel drive machine, it goes places even the alpine cant, and pulls out surprising loads, how you use it makes more difference than what you've got

there are also some russian things in the 14-15mm range which are hand fired !!!!
-
weapon of choice is now .416 Tac Chevy, it punches out to 2500m and unlike the others, is dammed near flat trajectory, the Barrat was an attempt to fill a gap that didnt exsist, L42, then L96, then the .338 lapua do just fine, the barrat was just the usual american way of quantity rather than quality, it takes a lot of time and a very good armourer to make a barrat moa acurate, the AI weapons do it out of the box

r-tech have a very good reputation for all there kit, you wont go far wrong with one of there's, plus really good back up

the stove in my house is a beautifull old cast iron one, gets very hot and keeps the heat for hours, never causes any problems, other than a bit of having to black lead it to keep it looking good, the one in the workshop is made entirely from steel, it varies from 15mm to 25mm thick, it takes foreever to warm up when its first lit, (usually around now), but it will radiate a reasonable heat for days on very little wood, mostly being fuelled by offcuts from the workshop, it was consructed from offcuts of boilerplate from a well known steel supplier and a lot of stick rods, and it will definatley see me out, so whether iron or steel, doesnt matter as long as its made from quality stuff
-
its the type of iginuity that used to exsist here before common sense and the ability to make do and mend was destroyed by H&S and the nanny state, how many old farms had machinery made for specific tasks by the local blacksmith that were unique and had none of the "saftey features" demanded by todays "rules"

there is a bandsaw mill designed to fit on the logosol mills
-
hidden behind all this furore and shouting, what else are the scum trying to sneak through without anyone knowing, its a typical scum tactic
-
sustained use of a hedgecutter is more likley to cause whitefinger than a saw, having seen the tests carried out by my LA, i was very surprised at the HAV test results, even strimmers were comming in with higher readings than most of the saws, only a couple of big older ones were causing a little concern, it seems the higher frequency vibrations are the risky ones, and not everyone is effected the same.

I've just turned a massive tree with better spalting than that into firewood because folk wont pay for my time to board and dry it, its worth more as firewood
-
I'd like to see that trying to work on some of our scotish hilsides, even getting the dozer to the top would be interesting
-
I'm afraid my thoughts on FISA are a little jaded, a bunch of self congratulating a-holes out to make as much money as quickly as they can off the backs of others, they are ruining the industry for there own profity

better get a new tow chain for the mog then, a fortune to be made towing cars out of snowdrifts round here......lol
