The full picture is complicated for sure and there are many H&S conundrums regarding tool usage👍

Yep, that's what I thought initially.. I have a cheap Chinese battery saw branded Greenworks that I bought years ago and it has such a slow chain speed that it does exactly that on small stuff, but what the m/s2 measurement is referring to on electric powered tools is the very slight vibe you can feel on any of them by just holding on and pulling the trigger. What's measured is the m/s2 acceleration after the change of direction of any oscillation no matter how small.. so I guess that's how the afore mentioned Makita saw can have a greater vibe value than some petrol saws albeit with a tiny amplitude when compared to an IC engine. The vibes of electric motors had really never crossed my mind until a few hours ago other than I know that everything that spins gets balanced, but a quick search found this if anyone's interested, cheers. I know it's from Canada but wtf, Vibration - Measurement, Control and Standards : OSH Answers WWW.CCOHS.CA How can you measure vibration? Are there methods for controlling exposure to vibration? What are some examples...

Fair enough, I suppose thinking about it everything that has moving parts will have vibration that can be measured and quantified and manufacturers are required supply the m/s squared figure. The amplitude of the vibes is probably more important, if that's the right expression.... although frequency must also be an issue. I'm sure someone else can explain this better than me.

I'd take a guess at some form of Hazel. Hazel leaf photo WP10297 WWW.WARRENPHOTOGRAPHIC.CO.UK Photograph of Hazel (Corylus avellana) leaf in late summer. Rights managed white background image.

The AV is to protect the user from the vibes of the petrol engine so not needed on electric tools.

The fence is the aluminium guide on your table that you've been using to set the size the bit of wood ends up when you're putting through the table. I'd say that what @muttley9050 meant was that if you wanted to put a straight edge on a board that's waney edged on both sides [ maybe to make a rustic shelf with a flat back ] then if you temporarily attach something known to be flat like a strip of plywood or whatever to your board, you can then use the fence as a guide for your cut... if that makes sense 👍 Oops, too late🙃

Certainly looks like Lime, but in the 1st pic looks like something else in the bottom RH corner, maybe Sycamore with some Ash above it, and maybe some Ivy in the 2nd.... maybe I'm never sure😊

I say Lime

Was just about to suggest the same as a good cheap option, plus you have the 2 year guarantee👍

Sounds amazing on the laptop with decent headphones on and the volume right up, specially as it flies past you, got the hairs standing on the back of my neck. I saw the same thing many years ago when working in the countryside near Glasgow, I heard it coming from far off and couldn't believe my eyes as it came past at about the same height, felt like I could reach out and touch it.. thanks for sharing👍

My inlaws bought a Labradoodle when they first started appearing as their son had allergy problems and iirc the idea was started in Australia specifically to breed a dog with hair that folk with these conditions could tolerate, the coat being more akin to wool than hair. Even back then they paid £1200 for a male pup which had it's knackers off in order that the breeders could protect their blood line.. gone now but he was a lovely even mannered dog but he was big, about the size of a GS and his thick shaggy coat grew very fast... god knows how much they spent on his haircuts over the years and he did end up with back end problems. Not got much time for the Kennel club, I remember reading a long time ago that the hip dysplasia suffered by German Shepherds for instance could be easily bred out in about 12 generations if the KC would recognise the change in the breed, I'll not bother saying what I think about dogs with no snouts or very short legs 👎 I'll stick with my £60 rescued from SPCA mixture Lucy nearly 16 and hardly ever been to the vet,👍 nearing the end now but as someone once said " all things must pass "

Yep, that's what I do and it can look really classy.. there's quite a few online chandlers selling all manner of fixtures and fittings in highly polished 316 stainless and often fairly reasonably priced 👍

Aye, wasn't meaning to contradict you're post which popped up while I was typing. Years ago I thought I got a bargain when I bought a very posh Oak garden gate that had been built with similar carpentry methods that would normally be used for a door and that's what I used it for, an extra wide shed door.... it was going cheap from a bespoke manufacturer as had been built the wrong size for their client. Mortise and tenon framework with inset t&g facia and even though I've treated it heavily with solvent based products as it bears the brunt of the weather it seasonally moves considerably more than I'd have expected, that's why I think it might be better to assemble Oak joinery that's going to be exposed to the weather perhaps not totally green but certainly not bone dry, maybe somewhere in the middle. Woodworking constantly gives me in equal quantities enjoyment and frustration 🙃 cheers.

+ 1 for building green, I've got an oak gate that was built too tight [ not by me ] and the natural movement in it stresses it quite heavily throughout the changing seasons👍

Not heard that for 50 years and as you say quite apt, I know very much how you feel as I'm approaching my 4th round of the same thing. While sorry for your loss I'm also happy for all the good times as that's how I've got to look at it, all the best.

I've always cooked from scratch my whole life and eaten well, but I know I couldn't Do it for 30p a meal and although some meals totally from the garden could be deemed free... if it weren't for the countless hours tending said garden. But I'm not alone in my awareness of a complete shift in society which shows most folk to be little more than farmyard animals eagerly supping up any total crap that's delivered to their doors which there is a massive push for. To me it's all part of the same plan to make us sick and keep us that way in order to gain control and dependence on their system, as the generations slip by they don't notice how unhealthy they have become and accept it as normal. When you think about it, when the majority of the nutrition is put in the hands of corrupt multinationals it gives ample opportunity to doctor it with anything that they want. These days, whether it be advertising, government, scientists, medical profession, pharma or anyone else that's trying to persuade me of something... I just assume that their lying until I look into it for myself. Cheers.

That sounds a bit ' Charlotte Bronte '... damn predictive text 😊

I've often thought while reading this thread that ' what's not making the news ' and exactly why would make much more interesting reading... to me the news is always has been nothing more than a diversion and never more so than today, just an endless drip feed of drivel intended to keep folk squabbling with each other whilst them that would lord it over us line their pockets. And yes I can well remember paying the crippling interest of 3% over the base rate of 15% back when I started out in self employment... and I get the distinct feeling that that's where we're headed back to right now, or perhaps worse.👎

Beat me to it👍

Just a guess but maybe some form of Whitebeam.

Hey @stubby you heard this guy before, pretty much straight into an AC30 I believe👍

Hi, I'm in the ' slow ' process of building an outside barbecue area and I bought the hardware in stainless steel from Sunshine bbq and I have to say that I was very pleased with the quality of the items I received. They do various kits which you can build around to suit your needs, I bought the heavy duty grill parts, very nice👍 BBQs, Brick DIY Kits, Fire Pit, Hog Roast Machines and Charcoal Grill WWW.SUNSHINEBBQS.COM Shop for premium quality and innovative designs of brick DIY BBQ kits, top of the range gas BBQs, hog roast machines &...

I have a cabin of that type of design made in Finland from very tight grained Spruce, the instructions that it came with had it sitting on 'treated' 2x4"s on top of either a concrete plinth or slabs and the roof was simply 12mm T&G lining boards nailed to the purlins with felt shingles glued on top .. with a good overhang but no gutters, so wholly inadequate. Although what came with the kit was good quality and reasonably priced at the time I realised essentially the bottom and roof needed redesigned and that any wood would need to be off the ground, so to that end I have it on an 18" dwarf wall foundation and on top of the original roof [ which looks good from the inside ] I have 3x2" batons with insulation between, 18mm sterling board covered with torchon felt and then profile roofing sheets with deep flow guttering. Anything less would have been a disaster here in the wet Northwest and I'm constantly looking for any signs of water ingress dampness or rot no matter how slight because as you point out ' how the feck would you fix it ' Most of these type of buildings have steel tie rods down through the corners to stop the potential of roof blowing away which would be an added complication in any repair. What you get with these type of kits is in reality just a start to which you have to redesign to cope with our climate. Would I go for this type of construction again, nope... use Spruce outside ... nope. Cheers.
