Great answer

That's dreadful, how's that a deterent to stop him doing it again. He's destroyed peoples property and livelihoods how is a supervision order going to help anyone.

From that I'm reading "expect legislation within 24 months" Not a dig at anyone at all, just seems to be the way things are going nowadays

Have you got a link to these discs?

Just once? You're not putting enough effort in.

Clear the cache in firefox last night and it seemed to help. Had a good play this morning and sure enough all working fine now. Thanks.

Swapped from firefox to internet explorer and it seems to be working ok now

That's sharper than my hycrack! Try slowing the revs down, I find different types of wood need different speeds. Easy with my old Zetor as you just change gear to change the PTO speed. For instance wet sitka I would use 2nd, cherry 3rd and dryish ash 4th or even 5th, I don't know what actual revs this equates to, just have a play and see if it makes a difference.

Best 404 I ever seen, that dog walks on water!

Jon, you've got to get yourself a camera, I think it would be great.

Got a Rayburn Royal SF in our current house, been living here for a year and it's been excellent. It does everything that you want and the savings in fuel costs are massive but I wouldn't want to be buying in logs for it! (Our electricity bill for the winter quarter last year was £56) Not sure about the age of ours but I have seen older ones around. We do all the cooking on it, it heats the water to a skin burning temperature whilst ticking over and also keeps the house fairly warm although we do light the woodburner in the lounge in the evening at this time of year. Fuel wise it uses about 2 cube of loose softwood every 3 weeks or so but we do put 1/2 a scuttle of coal on it every night just to help keep it in. As to cost, surely your aga is worth nearly as much as normandylumberjck paid for his reconditioned rayburn. Unfortunately we have just been given notice by our landlords so will be leaving this house shortly, the rayburn is one of the things I will miss about this place.

Got involved with a fencing job on a disputed boundary, by 11.30 the neighbour had called in the police and I ended up loosing a days work. Not worth the hassle, avoid it.

Nice one Just check your website, it's excellent, clear and uncluttered and not trying to be "clever." A lot of people could learn from that. Best of luck.

Wet windy and cold here. Dry forecast for tomorrow.

Think you may need to check your link Rob

All of them if they're dry.

Not strange at all. I was a bit worried a few years ago when mine started talking back but thats totally normal now:thumbup:

Getting it as well, can't see pictures in posts either. Keep fighting with it Steve, sure you'll get there in the end. We all appreaciate your efforts.

done

Just had a look and would echo the above, fonts need to be bigger through out and the picture file sizes need to be a LOT smaller. Just because I am also a pedant I timed how long it took to open one of them (sorrow, sycamore) and on my slow (1/2 meg) connection it took 1min 15 seconds, no one is going to view more than 1 or 2 photos at that speed. 100kb is more than adaquate for any picture to be viewed on a normal screen.

I've got the chance of getting my hands on this elm. Not sure the best way to mill it, cut burrs off first and sell? mill just as it is? It is about 8 meters long in total and about 2' thick (plus burrs, so about 2'6"-3') Will have to be milled with an alaskan as that's all I have and access is poor so has to be extracted by hand. (20 meters through wood and then lifted over a deer fence) Swiss army knife in second pic to give idea of size - if you can see it. Thanks

Thanks Rob All makes more sense now, will be interested to see part 2. Clever use of the wooden supports for the first cut.

Here's one of today's snow showers just about to hit. Gave a nice snowbow though.

Do they have to be wood? Have wondered about using blue water pipe, anyone tried this, any thoughts? P.S. Used a couple of bits of tanalised recently to support a piece of sycamore for a couple of days and had to sand out the green stains.
