  1. It's probably down to a bit of basic chemistry, wood (carbon) when burnt with O2 makes carbon dioxide but if the woods to wet but fires hot enough to burn then H2O is present in large quantities producing carbonic acid and when that is burnt of the vapour burns with a green flame
  2. How about building a basic ply box to sleeve over the post but have one side with the angle required already removed, then stick a thin wood or plastic shim to your saws bar and cut it that way running the shim along the ply? it won't damage the ply so it can be rotated round to the next face ensuring that each cut is then at the same angle
  3. Numerous but nothing too traumatic just the usual stuff, I once hogtied my young Groundie and took him for a off road experience while folded up in the chipper hopper, also during his first climbing attempt we tied the rope to the truck and left him up there during lunch he was a notoriously smelly chap so regularly hosed him down in the mornings but alas this is now severely frowned upon
  4. It's a 5lb jobbie
  5. Never really got on with splitting axes/mauls I've always used a 7lb elwell and currently a 7lb royal oak which has a much larger but narrower head than an elwell but splits anything I swing it at, each to their own I guess
  6. My saluki would have munched that cat long before it made it anywhere near the bed!
  7. My hounds
  8. Somebody obviously got a little bored as this is actually someone's hedge in rushden!
  9. A road towable black hole chipper/waste disposal system is what I really want one day.......
  10. All very good suggestions so think I think we need a whole change of routine I feed and walk them the only time my oh is involved is usually when taking stolen food away and Luna only kicks off when I'm not about
  11. It's the taking away food bit she has trouble with, I don't see it with me, but it's always with my partner because obviously she doesn't realise where her place is, to me this is a problem with my mrs not the dog? The dogs just being a dog at the end of the day and being a sight hound she's a particularly simple minded one, so if every time she stole something etc we replaced it with food wouldn't that then reward her to steal?
  12. I understand that hence why she's an angel when I'm about but she has zero respect for my o/h and Luna's a reasonably big dog and is pretty well matched against my oh, so how does my mrs reach the alpha high ground? I've seen luna when she's defending her diner and it's not pretty
  13. Anybody had any experience with a food aggressive dog? I've got a 20 month old saluki/ lurcher, I'm 5th owner, we've had her 4 months, she went for me on the first day regarding food and she was very swiftly put in her place and has been good as gold since but unfortunately my o/h is scared of her so when ever i leave the house and luna steals something my mrs ends up getting growled and snapped at, anyone got any suggestions? I love this dog to bits but o/h wants her gone if she carries on and it'll probably be a PTS job at this rate because she's got this issue that nobody wants to take on
  14. A transit can't carry two tonne! Not legally anyway.... And they take a damn site more when you don't fancy a second trip lol :-p
  15. That's what your supposed to do isn't it? I'm sure in the first aid booklet it says take photographs and send to everyone before applying bandage etc......
  16. Sooooo I may have knelt on an axe and I may have severed two arteries in the process.... Two internal and four external stitches later, Jesus did it bleed!
  17. Laccaria amethystina? Only tiny but stunning
  18. It's a 400+ year old sweet chestnut there's a dozen in all on the site
  19. The photos are taken 5 days apart it's amazing how quickly the colour up for autumn
  20. We have the pleasure of working around these beautiful girls ATM
  21. *deed
  22. It's a young queen the guys have done the dead and the workers are dead now....she'd found a cozy bed for winter until the inevitable happened there isn't a very good success rate with queens so don't feel to bad
  23. Yep that be a hornet! It's a sleepy queen she should be ok assuming there isn't a frost before she finds a new winter hideout, absolutely gorgeous insects!
  24. It's down...... It's sound..... And I really don't want to ring her up!
