  1. The bearing shaft seems to be as tight as (I cannot think of the proverbial!) and there ia no play but it runs freely. It must have been something to do with what the guy in the video is trying to correct by judicial hammering. I wire brushed the blades and the castings before fitting to make sure that nothing might cause distortion on tightening, and I did not tighten very hard as the motion of the saw is self tightening
  2. Took the new blade off and tried two more which worked fine without wobble and demonstrated that the new blade was faulty so it has been sent away to a saw doctor together with the first blade.
  3. I think that we should all push for it to be law in the UK!
  4. Here is "Pro Putty, Pro Putty, Pro Putty!"
  5. We seem to be enjoying the lull before the big storm here in the East Midlands. Like they say in the best Westerns. "Sure is quiet ain't it?" "Yeah, too quiet" then an arrow comes out of nowhere and pins his hat to a tree!
  6. But have you fitted a wood burning stove on board???!
  7. Telegraph Today he meant to say diesel, gas stoves and firewood!
  8. Here we go again with storm Barra coming tomorrow. Some three thousand homes are still without electricity or heat from storm Arwen. I think that the law in Norway should be brought in here for rural communities. I still say that we are due for a normal hard Winter in spite of the nay sayers and catastrophic climate pundits
  9. Just found this recording amongst my father’s old reel to reel tapes. Took a bit of work to put it on YouTube but it is an accent that was quite common fifty years ago and now only heard in some remote areas. Do not know who did the reading but he was brilliant. At the end there is a link to a robot trying to recite the NewStyle version! After hearing. “Pro Putty Pro Putty Pro Putty” a few times I had to turn it off!
  10. I think that in America you would be called a serious prepper!

  12. All the rest were just poking about in the dark!
  13. Never had sex till I was married (at 60!)
  14. Never come across a girl like that!
  15. ‘‘Tis an ill wind that blows nobody any good!”
  16. I expect that you will have several trees down to top up your firewood shed!
  17. I think that the tragic death in Rothbury and the 16000 homes with no electricity in the North East and Scotland, does demonstrate the need for a reliable backup heat source when the electricity supply is cut by storms, overloading, breakdowns or even terrorism. A wood burning stove is not just a very pleasant form of everyday heating, but could be the difference between life and death in some circumstances The more we become reliant on electricity the more likely it will be overloaded, especially if everyone has an electric vehicle
  18. Just found this link which states further down the page that bats do indeed eat woodworms! Bat BOOKS.GOOGLE.CO.UK Readers will discover a variety of information about this night creature. Topics cover nutrition, movement, growth, and...
  19. The cabin did have a bit of wood worm in the first year, but since the logs are over a foot in diameter,, many 18 inches they do not seem to penetrate very far. Because it was built in the BSE year Mad Cow disease the team from Devon run by the talented Dan Franklin could not build it in situ in the Summer so we had to build it in a barn that Winter and then move it the following Summer. This meant that some of the logs in the top layer had warped slightly, not having had a heavy roof to hold them down over Winter The result being a tiny gap which a Pipistrelle bat could just squeeze through and there now is a thriving colony there doing well by the lake where there are plenty of insects. Perhaps they also feed on woodworms??? I need to build a whole lot more cabins for people who like Glamping and want to escape the next ever so scary mutant strain that the government can control the population with Woodenways | WWW.WOODENWAYS.COM
  20. The reason I did the cabin was because a friend from Oregon told me of a Church there built of poplar that was 120 years old and still in good order. The log cabin here stairs on six large lumps of sandstone so is off the ground with plenty of air under it It is true that a poplar log lying in the ground will rot quicker than nearly any other wood I can think of, but the cabin shows no signs after 21 years

  23. The first thing you must know about palms is "Don't take my Coconuts" ! It will not be safe for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM7HlfrqHH4
  24. I think that the cage does work well to protect them from the initial attack and gives them time to flip into the Holly
