endgrain cobbles were apparently fairly common in the richer parts of london as it kept the noise levels down from the horse and carts that would clatter over them. they were made of jarrah.

i used to wear a pedometer at work when i was still employed as a joiner and i regularly walked 19 or 20,000 steps. i think that equates to about 10 miles?

you must have been torn when vardy put that screamer past in the back of the net in february.

se7enthdevil replied to se7enthdevil's topic in General chat
i should point out that i will not be doing any of the converting myself. i know nothing about electrics nor do i wish to. it's dangerous stuff so i leave it up to the people who know what they are doing. i merely wished to find out if it's tricky or impossible or if in fact it may be something that could be done relatively simply. this item would be going in my workshop at the bottom of the garden and i only have 240v. K66 LOG, i will not walk away as it is what i've been looking for to help me do a particular commision i've just received. it's just up the road from me so i will be checking it out before i buy (i'm definitely not looking to pay what he's asking) but if it's falling apart at the seams then i'll leave it there. -
the best of it has gone to a couple of luthiers but there is still some nice birdseye here. if you can get yourself over here mate you are welcome to look it over.

this little sander is round the corner from me but i only have 240v. RJH BELT LINISHER | eBay can it be converted and how do you do it? any help on the matter appreciated.

apparently it's a bastardisation of the word bast. copied from wikipedia. its name originates from the inner fibrous bark of the tree, known as bast. A strong fibre is obtained from the tree by peeling off the bark and soaking it in water for a month, after which the inner fibres can be easily separated.

technically they are two different species. tilia vulgaris and tilia americana and their mechanical properties are quite different. Basswood | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods) European Lime | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwoods)

that's interesting to hear of the different species used to make them, i thought that brazilian mahogany was the timber of choice for body blanks.

well i'm no chemist but i assume it's got something to do with the fact the oxygen molecules have a pair of hydrogen molecules stuck to them. perhaps it inhibits what oxygen does on its own? or it could be that oxygen needs to be in a gaseous form? does anyone know exactly why that is?
-
what materials are you using?
-
good point but in my opinion they get in the way. i rescued carpets that were getting replaced and they work great.
-
it could have at least been quartered to get it out to a road? or is there only a garden gates width to get through?
-
sounds good mick. can't promise that i'll take any though as i really am trying to get rid of timber this time.
-
nice work there mate. this sounds like a good timber drying shed if you have the space. timber building | eBay

if you want to collect more blanks mick then for god's sake get back round here as i'm trying to get rid of loads of wood to clear the garden.
-
please try to get an accurate ring count if you can. there is a tree near me that is of a similar size and it would be interesting to have a comparison. what is the diameter?
-
yes that is true, i merely said bog pine so that people would realise that i was referring to a pinus species rather than oak. i've also seen yew and spruce labeled under bog oak.

i love the fact that they have to put up the pronunciation of leicester for the american readers. as a man u fan i hope we win on sunday, however as a fan of the beautiful game i wholeheartedly hope that the foxes win the premier title. i've been secretly egging them on since the great escape they produced at the end of last season and would love to see the fairytale have a happy ending. Go foxes.
-
any timber left in anaerobic conditions will last for thousands of years. they often find bog pine along with the oaks and you'd expect that to be the first to rot but there is no oxygen to facilitate it.
-
good to hear mick. i think the first step should be taken again and build a bigger shed:lol::lol: you want one nearly the size of mine if you can.
-
i'd be interested but will need to see the photos.
-
as said before, elm is not durable and is to pretty a timber to be used as gatepost in my opinion. use on that is more durable. this chart should help. you want something that is either class 1 or 2 durable if it is to be a gate post. .
-
what saddens me about those photos is the fact that it used to be lush forest all around those tree till the lot got felled. there was no use for the baobab so they got left behind.
