cos they cant tax the wood used as fuel, the wannabe ***** that run the country are trying to scare the sheeple back onto taxable resources........smoke and mirrors all over again
-
pickups are classed as dual purpose vehicles, and not subject to the restriction, and it does not apply to any car derived van, these speed restrictions havent changed in years

if you've got accsess to a spindle moulder, the logosol profiles are readlly available, and a lot cheaper, from most suppliers, the other way is a little bit of maths, work out the amont of staves you requir for your tub, and the angles they intersect, and do this on a planer, ( for a 2mtr dia tub with 100mm x 38mm staves, this is just under 5 degrees) this means they will sit flat to flat, and as they swell, will give a watertight seal, if you want to get really clever, you could machine a slot into each edge and insert a spline, its a lot of work making a wooden tub, but worth it , as for what timber to use......larch and spruce are my choices,

all the two plonkers do is fill in the bits between the experts actually doing the work(which they cant show) and the adverts......its a purely another "reality" show, its debatable if they actually buy the vehicles to start with,there are a lot of stories around the motor trade about the farce........

when anyone asks me what I burn, my standard reply is, " I burn special stuff, its called tree wood"..... if its dry, it goes in the stove, and the sawdust from the mill goes into empty fruit juice cartons, gets mixed with waste vegie oil, (courtesy of the local kebab shop), and these get burned as well. heats the house and workshop all winter to toasty

it is excellent for carving, nearly all the woodprint blocks were made out of it as it keeps a very sharp edge on fine work, turns into lovely clean defined edges, beautifull timber to work with
-
anything indoors, table tops, cabinetry, etc, can use it outdoors, but needs to be well protected

Dangerous Agricultural / Forestry Vehicles
agrimog replied to TRADITIONAL LOGGERS's topic in The Lounge
a lot of folk on here spouting off about things they clearly have no knowledge about.....agricultural machines, and how the laws apply.. tractors are limited to 20mph, any faster...breaks the law, tractors are limited to widths2.55m, same with trailed implements, there are age restrictions on the size you can drive, so 17 year olds cant drive the largest tractors, if its used on the road, although it doesnt require an MOT, it MUST be road legal mechaniclly, any tractor legally travelling over 20mph MUST have suspension on all wheels, as well as brakes(currently only 2 manufacturers, mercedes, and jcb), and must have mechanically connected steering(rules out the larger jcb fastracks). there are limits on axle spacings, limits on weights, lighting conditions and pages of rules. just remember, force the farmers off the road, and every bit of food you buy Will go up in price -
they dont get cash, the window gives out a cheque, they then walk to the next window, where the cheque is cashed for them, poor souls not having a bank account

it is an interesting problem, a local council cannot own property, only hold it in trust for the community, (law, even if they would have you believe different), so is your local authority hiding under a corporate body (council name ltd) this is how they get away with lots of scams, no one knows the company exsists, and they play on this, if the site falls under a planning scheme....no felling licence.......planning trumps forrestry, like they do everything
-
lovely big elm felled today, destined for boarding out, table tops and memorial benches, forgot to get piccies, but will get them tommorow when I take the mog in to hiab the buts out
-
let them sit for a day, sharpen and set, let sit again before you use them, and how many folk use different sets and angles for different timbers ?

never admit anything at the roadside, never produce any documentation, never sign anything. they have to prove an offence has been comitted, you dont have to prove your innocence, so why help them, furthermore you do not have to provide any personall information unless you are detained or charged.......mr piggy isNOT a policeman any more, he/she is a police officer and works for a profit making corporate orginisation, the days of them being public sevants and being there to help you have long gone -
unless wood is kept in a "dry" atmosphere, it will match the relitive humidity around it, remember it is a natural material, it will give up moisture to a drier enviroment, likewise it will take up moisture from a wetter one, forget moisture meters, if it rings when struck, it'll burn fine

they are called toe boards by woodmizer

not all engines have oil jets fitted, they all have the option, but not all get fitted, and they spray onto the underside of the pistons as a cooling jet

for some strange reason, a chain will blunt a lot quicker in soft woods than it does in hardwoods, something to do with the way the longer fibres tear, rather than shear during the cutting action. I found that an angle of between 5 and 7 degrees seems to last a bit longer on soft coniferous species, and down to almost 0 degrees on sitka gives a ready to use finish off the saw
