Woodworks

Would rather not Just some innocent googling on any wood subject often brings you back to here. Steve seems V good at getting Arbtalk stuff high up on the searches

Nice little video with a map showing where snow is expected this week [ame] [/ame]

Snow forcast here on and off for the rest of the week! Will believe it when it happens mind.

Either that or he has taken a funny turn

Any excuse to watch this [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9FS1bxaGTg[/ame]

Good thinking

Glad you can make it all out. Can Email you pics if it would help. It seems most meters don't come with them. But surprising amount of variation from species to species.

Hope you can make out these tables.

That's great delabodge One serious lath you have there!

Think there were some really nice ones in the raffle. Here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arbtalk-christmas-charity-raffle-2014/82221-member-donations.html

The surface water has probably not made a great deal of difference to the overall dryness of the board but I would not start working it yet. If I have the time this is how I like to deal with converting boards to furniture. Ideally the workshops RH should be close to the domestic environment. 1. Bring whole boards into workshop and leave for as long as possible with air able to circulate all around 2. Rough cut out components oversize and plane close to final thickness. 3. Leave components in stick for at least a week and again longer if possible. In stick is thin battens of which mine are 20mmx20mm placed between each board. 4. Finally cut and plane to final sizes. This is still not really the end of it as wood will continue to expand and shrink across it's width for ever with changing RH. The design needs to take into account this movement and there are many ways to do this. This all in the ideal world with lots of time but realise it don't always work like that

Is it the one for sale in the outer Hebradies and your selling it for a mate?

Makes a change to have a thread where hornbeam might be the right answer

Lay off it Barry you know it makes no difference how you pay

Would love to talk it up but the reality is it's dead for us at the moment. Two deliveries since Christmas and none in the calendar. I know it's warm but surprised it's this quiet with amount of stoves being instaled. Still pleny of winter left though. If it doesn't all sell it leaves less prep work for next year.

Top bit of joinery there Stompy. Realy like the drip detailing; very neat.

Looking to up charcoal production this year but would realy like to source some cheaper bags than the Selway ones. Doesn't have to be a bag. Saw one chap on here using some very nice boxes but suspect they cost more than bags. Any leads to supliers? Thanks

Steady on chaps. I read it that Logs and Stuff runs a legitimate business and is rightly bothered by those that he suspects don't; undercutting him. Tax Dodging hurts all of us that don't dodge tax. Can't say I would go as far as grassing someone up but maybe we should as a civic duty. Placeing tin hat on and runing for cover.

Heavy rain for a lot of the night. Had 20mm so far and still heaving it down.

Bit slow Paul. Broke the processor just before Christmas but Riko have parts winging their way to me as I type. Been working on the hedge again today but weather was a lot kinder than on your visit. Liking your current Avatar

Pretty nice down here today but T shirts might have been a bit brave

2014 confirmed as UK's warmest year on record - Met Office Along with low oil prices. Not surprising the phone as been a bit quiet.

Sound good Jim. Let us know how you get on. I did have a quick chat with Roger Young today. They could do the modification but it would invalidate the warranty on all parts affected by the mod. Their view was use it how you like and if torque wind up breaks anything you would be covered by the 5 year warranty.

Thanks Phil Sadly not anywhere near 75K turnover.

A quick google brought up this http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/72776-pimping-my-ride.html
