Why do guys do this? ..throw out a question , then fail to get involved any further. Is it just the sheer joy of knowing you've wasted our good , honestly given time, or is it actually a benefit to all and sundry forevermore, that we've unloaded our encyclopedic brains, to be harvested at some later time, if anyone can be bothered to read it then. Some people just have too much time running through their fingers.

Rowan tree health after pruning

I'm sure it will be eventually -
That's made my night, oh the mental imagery, exploded by the last line. Thanks 😆😆😆

I've come across these in collections and museums, described as stail engines

If that's his tether rope going under (and presumably, through and around multiple times) the log pile, he's not going anywhere for quite some time - and its only going to get worse over the next few days. Fine looking hound. - hopefully he's going to do something really stupid soon for you to entertain us with 😁

I find the 'smart chargers can't cope with seriously discharged batteries (I use them for electric fencing and will leave them on til they cant operate anymore - usually less than than 9v) and fail to recognise them as 12 v and will instead take them down to 6v. 3 or 4 minutes with jump leads off my quad bike (not running) or any other mostly charged battery brings the charge up to 12v for long enough for the smart charger to accept it and consequently charge at full rate, to completion.

I was asked the exact same set of questions from university college, Cork. When I couldnt give qualification, and only a rudimentary, generic risk assessment they concluded the only answer was to seal me in a Heras fence enclosure,and to opetate only at a weekend with fewer on site students walking around the work area. Another site at a major sporting and tourist castle renovation had exactly the same approach. Even though it was a construction site of a truly astounding scale they went through the vaguest ever risk asses and then again put me in my own sealed off enclosure. I didn't even have to wear high viz, but if I stepped outside I had to wear one. - I'd told the safety manager there was too much risk of snagging a flappy vest! The grunt I was given , employed by the company had to wear his vest at all times. I was there for 4 weeks, moving in and out of my enclosure only to arrive and leave again.

Not so much a case of the weight you're putting on them as, if they're bent when you bought them, even slightly, then so will every piece of wood you mill on them. Put them together top face to top face, if there's a gap at all between them you'll know you're not going cut to the absolute best possible.

No thank God, - what a bureaucratic minefield!, plus employing youngsters whose only ambition in life is to collect as many badges and titles of ill health as humanly possible, to exclude themselves from actually doing any job whatsoever. No I'm perfectly happy just being employed as the cooper. My wife is op's director for the whole place though and now frequently wishes she wasn't.

Nice idea using racking beams. They're tough as hell, though heavy. Beware they can and do bend (we occasionally get this in our distillery warehouse when we overload the centre portion). Not a worry if you're using new ones, but very possible ifusing second hand.

Well done, nothing better than harvesting practical ideas from YouTube and other sources, then making up something simmilar, or sometimes even better to get the job done. Good satisfaction from using what's available and creating something to do the job

So then when you find out others get away with perhaps 50% more than you quoted and won, suddenly there'll be 2 unhappy people?

So why you askin if all's happy?

Yep, these guys were great when I was milling with lucas mill. Made me some extra wide custom wheels for edging the carbide teeth on the circular blade, no questions, no problems, exactly to my spec, even to the grit grade, - good sensible pricing, fast turnaround.

£400 for a box, not each!

Cubic Boron Nitride, a grinding medium almost as hard as crushed diamond, and Water mister to keep the edge cool and the wheel clean ( not 'waster' !). Any grinder of any type, even lidl jobs, will do a lot of chains; hand eye coordination is the important key element, along with small touches to the chain, not mighty long, spark blasting, steel burning, grinder stopping, leanings on the pressure handle. If you use milling chain professionally then sharpening a dozen or more of these things, up to 120" in total length makes it justifiable to invest in cbn etc. If its smaller standard chainsaw chains you're doing then learn to hand sharpen frequently when the chain starts to feel slightly dull, keep the grinder for the badly damaged ones. Grinders make you lazy and eat chain for a living

Not sure if it should be in jokes, but jeez it made me jump! - Didn't bother watching the other 3 versions 😜

Yep I too thought the front (not brake) handle looked bent

So that's where they've all gone!

I've started regularly scanning you tube for the 'Sailor the dog' comedy channel. He must surely be close to signing a contract to supply hours of entertainment in exchange for alternating tirades of abuse and dog chew treats. Keep this comedy gold going

Makes it much easier to spot if the groundy's still working as he wanders about, clutching his head, with that sticking out of his helmet. 😁

We've had numerous 2cvs over the years. Right up to the end of production in 1990 they still had a starting handle. Essential for setting the points, though a real cow to start, as the two opposed cylinders give a real kick , and kill the rotation. Easiest ever to start was my v8 landrover 101, - smooth as silk, you'd barely notice the compressions. The lightest flick over would be enough to set her burbling away
