Yep, it's definitely Friday 10th and Saturday 11th.

Jerome Fillol has been banned for 14 weeks for that: Planet Rugby | Rugby Union News, Live Rugby Scores, Results & Fixtures | Fillol banned for 14 weeks Stringer said after the match that he could only remember it happening to him once before, in an under-21 international against France. The French scrum-half spat on him during the course of that match. Stringer's father has a collection of match programmes from Peter's career, and he checked to see who was scrum-half for France that day. Guess who it was. Go on, guess...

Yes, that's in the last episode of Vengeance.

For anyone waiting to watch the official airing on this side of the Atlantic, be sure to watch the final credits the whole way through!

Excellent video! Bit of left-handedness at 0:49 though!!!

I've never made any sort of contact with a running chain, but I have had a fair few nicks and small slices off a static one. Usually when sharpening or changing the thing. My brother ruined a good heavy leather glove when sharpening a while ago, laying the palm of the glove open like it was done with a stanley knife. He nicked the skin of the palm of his hand, but it could have been much worse. We're dealing with a whole bunch of little razor blades here, so they're to be treated with respect even if the engine isn't running. Would something like a piece of poly-pipe, perhaps wrapped in some pipe lagging, cable tied to the rear of the chain brake, be of any help to the person mentioned above? It would reduce the distance between the brake and her wrist, making it possible for her to use it correctly.

Next door neighbour thought he'd have a go...
Melodeon replied to Jonny Burch's topic in Video forum
If they're willing to listen, explain what you're doing and why you're doing it. Describe the forces involved and the consequences of getting it wrong. A bit of time spent explaining why this sort of thing is best left to 'a professional' would be time well spent. While it would certainly impress those of us who are involved in this sort of thing, nipping across while the kettle boils and dropping it exactly where they want it with a quick nick of a handy little saw will only leave them thinking they could do it themselves in future and wondering how you can possibly charge for such a 'small' job. In short, don't make it look TOO easy! -

Silky do a feather edge file for sharpening some of their saws:Siilky feathered edge file for sharpening Silky saw blades I don't see the Gomtaro listed there though. I've used one on my Sugoi, and it certainly extended the life of the saw, but I never really got it quite as sharp as it was when new. I eventually broke down and bought a new blade, but I'll be using the file on that too when the time comes.

Timeserts are FAR better than Heli-Coils for applications where the fastener is likely to be re-opened and reused in the future. Heli-Coils are fine for repairing something that's not intended to be ever opened again, but they don't like repeated use. Timeserts also give you a much better grip in soft alloy stuff. The kits aren't cheap, but I find them invaluable.

Used roller guides for a long time, but almost exclusively Stihl's 2-in-1 filing guide system now. A bit of freehand now and then to tidy up really ugly stuff.

There are links to photos in the text feed, but don't go there unless you don't mind getting 'spoiled' on what's happened so far! Most up to date info I have is that the race is to continue. I hope it does, I've been looking forward to this one for ages.

Looking at the photos, I really wouldn't blame anyone for abandoning, to be fair. I know I wouldn't even go out in that in the first place!

At around 1:40 or so, you can see the crane boom springing around in the top right corner!!! That guy was insanely lucky.

CPR Refresher - I would suggest everyone watches this.

I suspect Vinnie would make an exception in her case too -

A 13" bar normally lives on my 550, but I have an 18" one for use with the sawhorse. The sawhorse is nominally 12" across, but between crooked logs and the uprights not allowing the saw to get to the full depth of the bar under some circumstances, the 18 incher goes on for that particular job. I'm only cutting stuff from brush handle size up to around 6" or so at the moment, but the 550 drives the 18" bar no bother. For bigger stuff where an 18" bar would be actually needed, I'd reach for one of the bigger saws.

A friend of mine in the joinery trade has a sign over the bandsaw that states: "Do NOT use your remaining fingers as pushsticks!" :lol:
