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

Or morris minors or citroen 2cvs or landrovers....... what else?....

Ok guys, watching Katy Perry and the other girls spin out into space , for 11mins of girl bliss in zero G. But did anyone else think their rocket actually represented a giant dildo? Or perhaps I need to go to specsavers to have my imagination cleaned out. Kudos though that the booster rocket returns to be reused. As it came back separately from the girls, guess it couldn't take the constant chatter and singing any longer, and left them and their parachutes to bring them back somewhere else completely different

Okay guys , thanks to the power of arbtalk I can now identify the the birds around me by song. Always wanted to be able to do that, now you've introduced me to merlin. Great stuff thanks.

Well i I got that wrong then, - haven't even heard of stone island, and perhaps better off for it.

Took me ages to realise I should have been looking at the target not the hound

Spot the oldies growing up with top of the pops in the 1980s. It was a truly shite song, but of it's time. Thank god it stayed there!!

A newbie CS boot question that fits in several sections
skc101fc replied to TedWood's topic in General chat
Yep , in agreement on chainsaw wellies - Satan's footwear !! But a good set of not bargain basement wellies for general use is money well spent. The cheapest from farm supplies are cold, uncomfortable and will with regular use only last six months. Go up a level of expenditure and you'll be rewarded
