That's not to say they're bad, most companies will outsource metal casting as it's an art form in itself. You spec what you want and they do a crucible worth usually by weight, you're not going to keep a foundry running 24/7 making a few axe heads. Can't remember if the Swedish axe guys had the preformed lumps done at Sedenborgs or Monsteras and then they shaped and finished them.

I have a simple solution, stop watching all the fear porn, take up a hobby, maybe we can have a resurgence of building ships in bottles ?. I promise you'll feel better, well maybe marginally when you know you can't effect or affect what's happening elsewhere.

Chimney sweeping rods and brushes?
GarethM replied to cessna's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Whilst you can do it yourself more regularly if you so wished. £60 Vs the 100+k for rebuilding your home after the insurance say you've not swept your fire and won't payout seems cheap. -
Doubt they make it in site, zero forge exhausts on Google earth. But plenty of places will make whatever you want providing you can use a full pour of metal or just buy in unfinished castings from abroad and machine then however you wish.

Probably that Trump wouldn't hesitate to speak directly to Putin and say in uncertain terms stop or else. Uncle Joe showed how useless he was with the debacle of Afghanistan, that's hardly a poster for being the world's policeman.

I feel like firing up the Xbox for a game of COD, I'm somewhat scared if I show my skills it'll pop up with a warning to report for duty at the local TA.

What are you currently using, as pickups are generally commercial only and aren't the most comfortable.

Sir, where's the respawn point ? Or, why are all the recruits called soap.

Full repairing lease, think that's what my old warehouse had.

You're effectively advocating for a nation wide clean air zone. Even the current system is woefully pointless as it's not enforced, most appliances sold are more than compliant but due to the cost of testing they aren't useable in a smoke control area. For example a lot of things are blue angel, German version of DEFRA exempt but there is no EU wide standard.

You might get got for change of use, but should fall under small rate relief and effectively be free. Roughly 21x9m = 189m2 189m2 x £55 = 10,395 10,395 x 0.499 multiplier = £5187 Under 12k valuation should be free.

So you want to ban existing efficient stoves or the fuel for them, what changes are you suggesting ?. Nothing will ever be enough for these activists tho, until your eating the bugs and cowering under your duvet with equal measures of fear and frostbite.

Well we've had clean air zones for decades, 1960s I think. So either it's not enforced or it's something else. The typical knee jerk reaction to just make more rules is backwards and a waste of time and energy. It's like the current knife thing they are doing, knee jerk instead of enforcement of the current rules. It's like suicide is illegal, erm good luck with a prosecution!.

Edge Sealing Phenolic Board recommended products? Help needed
GarethM replied to Bob_z_l's topic in General chat
Didn't think it was necessary, but presumably any epoxy sealer wouldn't be a bad thing. Just make sure your cuts are nice and smooth. -
Very true, but good to see someone use one going through a combustible material.

It's the exhaust

Plus you have to love the picture of clearly imported kiln firewood from a Lithuanian company.

Laurel – Love the smell, but is it really bad for you?

Disposable arb approved hazmat suits coming to a dealer near you!. -
I'd expect nothing less. From an engineer perspective I would have thought they should be designed to remove or reverse drive everything except the cutting head/shield back out the tunnel.

I thought there was no point crying over spilt milk ? -

Probably like the daddy longlegs being the most poisonous spider without large enough fangs to be a threat. -
I'm not so sure, bridge = maintenance forever of the structure. Concrete tunnel is a sealed thing, a lot of the recent tunnels are expensive because they actually buried 1 or 2 TBM as they started at both ends and did a 90 in the middle. If memory serves there's a couple still in the channel tunnels.

Was that the one where they built concrete sections and floated them out after excavating a bit trench ?.
