surely you can't think that we need them J? if it's to keep the people whose jobs it may affect why not just divide the£25,000,000,000 (mod's estimate) - £205,000,000,000 (cnd's estimate) up between those people...

if you want some rock hard exotics (no need to stabilise them) the you are welcome to come round. i've got all sorts of species and colours. a fair bit of genuine lignum, angelim vermelho, ekki, ebony, ziricote, cocobolo, kingwood, boxwood, laburnum, wenge and loads of others that would look great on a knife...

my fault mate , as mr bullman said i should have read the post properly before saying something. sorry. i may have it sorted actually, an arbtalkers girlfriend lives near the collection point and he goes to london once a week and would be able to drop it off. hopefully i'll have the boards next week. once it's all arranged i'll let everyone know.

not all epilepsy is the same and in theory i could have got a license at certain times as i was many years without a fit. people who are completely under control through drugs just have to prove that you are fit free for a particular length of time (used to be 1 year when i was 18) for me a fit is caused by a flash of light (like through trees at sunset) or by certain patterns (strong striping on fences is a good one) but there does not always seem to be a reason as to why one occurs... sometimes i just go to sleep or i get blurred vision but other times a full on shaky seizure is difficult for others to control and at 6'3" and a well built 17-18st i can hurt others or myself. last year i had one on my 32nd birthday (the first in many years) and i had one a couple of weeks ago. neither of these seemed to have any reason to be triggered, the one the other week was a fit where my vision is pretty much lost and i am not necessarily in full control of my actions. the one on my birthday last year was a complete loss of consciousness and my brother called an ambulance as i stopped breathing and turned blue. this proves to me that i am not 100% under control even though i take my pills. in a nutshell an epileptic fit is a lightening storm in the brain and every one has the potential to end my life. this is why i choose not to be a driver and possibly career into dozens of people on a busy high street potentially killing babies old people and anyone else who happens to be in the path of whatever i'm driving. as it would be a timber van/truck is would be big. think of the bin truck that the driver fainted in scotland. that could happen to me. i don't care if i die because of epilepsy but i would care if i were to kill others because of an irresponsible and selfish choice i had made.

in answer to your question it's not yandles but an ebayer that i've had a few nice bowl blanks from, proper bargains too and now she is selling three planks of a suspected unusual timber that i'd like to own.

too right steve, thanks for correcting me. sorry Wendelspanswick, my mistake. i suppose the next post should say where did i learn to read:lol::lol:

the reason i have to rely on couriers and kind people who are going that way is that i'm epileptic and have been since i was 7. aspenarb, thanks for the offer bob but i had a phone call tonight from another arbtalker who may be able to help me.

assuming you meant 13 feet?, where did you learn to count??? 109" is 9'3".

is nobody in a position to be able to help?

surely all trees bear fruit of some kind to reproduce unless they are male trees i suppose, or ornamental cultivars?

:lol: i thought that may shock a few people. as for seeing 50 i've only got 17 years to go. to be fair it's all i've drunk since i was 15. i don't drink alcohol so i can't drink stellas. i thank everyone for their concerns about my health but 2 months ago i got a clean bill of health from my gp since they were worried about my blood pressure. i take life as it comes and wish to enjoy every minute. my pee is usually pale or clear. occasionally yellow if i've not drunk very much during the day.

hi all, i have 3 planks of wood i'd like to purchase on ebay but would need help getting them too me. they are 109" long and 2@ 11" and 15" wide. all are 2" thick. situated in merriott just west of yeovil. shipley is way too expensive these days. i need them delivered to slough. is anyone doing this route and what would you want for transport? if anyone can let me know then i can buy the wood. i'd be very grateful for some help with this as it's a very nice timber. thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help out.

you don't need a rounding plane at all. spindles should be finished off with the skew. that's how i make anything long and thin like wands and traditional spindles.

i'm guessing it will depend on your metabolic rate and the activity you are doing. i didn't do much on sunday but still managed to drink 5L+ of diet coke. peed a fair bit today but not yesterday. i've a fairly high met rate.

most of the year i go shorts and barefoot these days. haven't had a chainsaw for a year but i'm happy to use a small one like this. don't go barefoot if it's wet. i know i'm only walking round my garden up to the workshop and i wouldn't do it if i worked for someone else.

hornbeams don't have asymmetrical leaf bases. got to be an elm family.

traditional one were but these days they use american yellow poplar.

if this is not your bog standard eucalyptus then i'd be interested in a ring to get a sample of timber from to send to the wood database.

surely this is a fraud??? you just got a real dog to pose didn't you simon? too bloody lifelike to be wood isn't it? wish i had skill like that.

is anyone going from cheshire to slough??? i'll get the trunk to hitch a lift if i can... if no one can take it then i will be interested in trying to get it to me somehow.

how many are over 12-14"?

tell me about it stu, all that lovely timber gone up in flames... i try to rescue as much as i can myself.

i'm no miller al, i just like to use the timber. if clive can do the milling then i'm happy to pay him to do it.

very kind of you mate, and yes i do think it is a result of loving what i do. i'm still amazed at what comes out of a manky old block of wood. just look at the two large ones, knotty and splitt but with a little time and skill they look the dogs bollocks...

who is your nearest miller?
