  1. just entered a feewwwwww suggestions
  2. +1 for Chris Simpson at ITS
  3. Wi-fi and a coffee cup holder apparently.
  4. I've got this one. Might be what you are looking for. Bark Peeler | Traditional Hand Tools | Woodsmith Experience | Woodsmith Experience. For specialist, handmade, woodworking tools.
  5. Yes this is normal. No need to worry about it. In fact that is where I start sharpening from if I don't have a marker with me. SNAP Stubby!!!
  6. If it was one of mine I would put the leaf blower on it to remove as much of the dried needles from the tree and around the base. edge and mulch as above without piling it up at the base of the trunk and take another picture. Then monitor it to see how much is turning brown. I would also be thinking of removing some of those branches next year to give a better shape and improve air flow through the tree.
  7. Thanks Chris that makes it a lot clearer for me. Really don't see myself L6 and beyond as I don't have the time off work or motivation to go into that line of work.
  8. After looking at the qualifications framework (Scotland and England have different levels, 8 and 5 for my HND Horticulture) I take it the ABC rfs L2 is going to be a doddle for me personally. Is it worth me doing ABC rfs L2 course as basic knowledge for a slightly different discipline or should I aim higher from the outset. I skipped all the basic courses for Horticulture as I had previously studied HND computer programming so passed all the entry requirements. Top of the class with distinctions and prizes so it didn't hinder me. Always easier when you have an interest in the subject.IMO It would need to be online which therein lies the problem.
  9. Thanks, alot cheaper than I anticipated. Thought it was going to be in the 1000's. Will ponder the rest of the week on it.
  10. Whats the price of the online rfs level 2 in arb at myerscough?Still pondering myself.
  11. Yes handy wee book to have and some good stuff in the appendices
  12. Done. Keeping mine to myself to avoid multiple entries.
  13. It is impressive but I don't have the luxury of a nice clean shiny worktop so I take a little longer.
  14. PM sent:001_cool:
  15. Brilliant, how long do you get to do that? Black oil problem disappear? Looks good weather, were you cooking out there?
  16. Camphorwood?
  17. Great work. is there specific distances between chambers and sizes etc or is it just random placing?
  18. I would recon that it is due to it being for furniture. I would think they are put in a small kiln rather than through the large machines which toughen your windows as there is a greater risk of them shattering due to the tight curves and that is a pain to remove from the big machines. You can see that the edges appear linished, this is both to remove the sharp edge for safety as well as prepare for toughening as the edge of the glass is the weak point with toughened glass so has to be linished before being toughened. If you look at windows when they are out of their frames, if the edges are razor sharp the glass is 99% not toughened. If they have been linished they probably will be toughened The glass stamp should also tell you!!! The glass has to be cut first. If you gut it after toughening...Boooooom. Well on this small scale it would just be a few choice words and back to the cutting table!!! It is a great idea to mix the two materials, I would like him to go one step further and use glass fusing to incorporate materials into the glass, think it would bring out the wood grain even more. Sorry for the trainspotting derail. Glass hmmmmm.
  19. As a former glass processor that work is both skilful and stunning. Great idea.
  20. PM sent:001_smile:
  21. Snickers this year, pretty tough and comfortable although I have been told I'm showing more crack as they are a little low on the waistline at the back.
  22. Just got my second roll of the stihl orange 2.4 as I was happy with the performance of the first lot. I've used the oregon as well. The stihl stuff was on the shelf when I went shopping, the oregon wasn't. Don't notice much difference personally.
  23. Check if you can get funding for it (usually £200 depending on your income) that should bring the price down and good luck!
  24. 36 these days. Back and knees say double that.
  25. Yes PA1 is the basic knowledge of using pesticides safely (theory test) PA6A is your Knapsack ticket (practical test). Most courses do the 2 together and if I was employing anyone to spray using a knapsack, I would be asking to see both those tickets. No tickets no job. I think you can add PA6AW spraying at watercourses on some courses at the same time if that is what you also require. Hope that helps.
