  1. I guessed Willow earlier but I'm crap at Identifying trees from their bark, but regardless of species it's very strange one, cheers.
  2. I'd like the OP to go back and cut down an adjacent tree to see if it had the same weird lines, what species do you think it is ?
  3. Yeah, must have used a nibbler. Family firm's bid to track down thieves who ripped open van like a tin can - CoventryLive WWW.COVENTRYTELEGRAPH.NET Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward
  4. Yep, I like watching there vids as well👍
  5. I was lucky enough to find Matt Cremona online just as he was starting to build the mill.. watched the whole lot with interest. You're friend's got a good set up there as well... so much space and all the toys👍
  6. I just got on with stuff and apart from material shortages and price hikes, I was lucky enough to be largely unaffected. That said, there are countless others whose lives and livelihoods will likely never recover.. not to mention there heath and mental health, and this will ultimately affect all of the rest of us one way or the other.
  7. That's some amount of reading, but great pictures👍
  8. Excellent👍
  9. I switched my 200 to the 3/8" 220 set up which of course meant changing the sprocket, I found a fair few chips in behind it that could potentially feck the oil pump drive so that's another thing that's worth checking from time to time.
  10. Very good, but try putting that on youtube, and you're probably upsetting all the trans folk on here 😁
  11. I think at that price I'd just cut out a bit of steel plate, bend to suit the hole and paint a fire on the outside with some high temp paint.😄
  12. I see that in this link Stoves Direct are offering glass replacement accidental damage insurance, £14.99 for 2 years cover, I suppose that with it costing so much it may be worth it. https://www.directstoves.com/morso-4412-multi-fuel-stove.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw_tWRBhAwEiwALxFPoTF0chimFTo3J6i691F7I1SwEl8J9VdNNZHd1f8AoNkbWXT5v2aA7xoClqYQAvD_BwE
  13. There was a recent thread on this subject where the use of PEG as @Woodworks suggested {thanks} didn't come up, a quick google search brings up quite a lot.. I'll be trying it for sure👍 Found this pdf with instructions on how to use. https://owic.oregonstate.edu/sites/default/files/pubs/peg.pdf
  14. So many good female guitarists around now👍
  15. Although I don't welcome digital anything as to me it's anti nature, but the green agenda is just a multi trillion dollar business opportunity that's been programmed into the minds of a whole generation of Pliable saps... and probably can't be stopped. if you consider volcanic activity and wildfires to be normal, then we haven't seen the real result of that for quite some time.. let alone a comet strike which it would seem the last one was 12,800 ish years ago [ Younger Dryas event ], for which evidence is strong and most likely not wrong. Pyrolysis for instance, is the recycling of plastic back into any kind of fuel you like, after all it's a totally recyclable Hydrocarbon product and the process is simple and even self powered using it's own fumes as the heat source. But ' recycling ' to the wankers that run this country would seem to be up until recently, putting the plastic waste in a massive ship at Liverpool docks and sending it to China, who would then sell it on to Taiwan who would then pass it on for cash to the Indonesians, who then throw it in the sea, FFS. The people that come up with policies like this are beyond stupid with tiny intellects... so you have to ask how on earth do they manage to get into a position that has any influence ? My answer to this is that we live in totally controlled dumb cluck society that's brainwashed by them that are using the stupidity of average person to line their pockets, done deal ! Since China no longer want's our waste, I wonder what's happening to it now, does anyone know ?
  16. 😁 Just think how fast he'll be when he gets rid of the drag of his cock and balls, is it not just bonkers ? Maybe I should shut up before I get cancelled on Arbtalk 🙄
  17. Is that the lyrics to a song you're writing😁
  18. A friend of mine used to go to the Czech Grand Prix every year pre MacDonalds over there, and his biggest impression of the place was that the women were mostly slim and beautiful.. hardly any fatties😄 probly changed now.
  19. Aye, just last week I left comment on a youtube video about the American trans swimmer Lia Thomas.. couldn't resist it having had a few drams.. just spoke mind mind about how ridiculous it is. The next day without any warning or explanation my ability to comment was removed, so a couple of days later I went into my account and removed the comment and the next morning I was reinstated, the future is bleak 👎
  20. Not tree related, but a mate of mine bought a house with an out building that we converted into a workshop putting in a new concrete floor in 2 sections. Before the house was bought the garden had been cheaply improved for the house sale with many tons of chips lots of which made their way into the drains and blocked them so rain had nowhere to go causing the clay ground to take up water and swell. The floor we'd laid moved and was pushed up an almost unbelievable amount which in a way was lucky as it flagged up the issue and we got the drains cleared with a great deal of difficulty and sorted the problem without any other noticeable damage, but it's the clearest case of heave that I've seen.
  21. Hendrix nearly always tuned a semitone down and on the electric ladyland version to play it in the same key on a normally tuned guitar it's C A# g#, if down a step it's C# B A I see from looking that it gets played and taught in various keys. Interestingly enough ' ultimate guitar ' has it in the chords search Bm A G and in standard tuning Their bass tab is tuned down a half step so in C#m so up a full note on the neck, and the tab for the 3 guitar parts are in the same key. Obviously it can be played in any key that suits your voice but if you're trying to learn JImi's style or playing with a lead guitarist who wants to emulate Hendrix then it won't work playing it in the wrong part of the neck. My take on the half step down is that it allows the use of heavier strings and or much more flexibility in bending, I can't remember Jimi's string gauges but I know that SRV used a right mixture with some quite heavy 5th and 6th mixed with more bendable 123 and 4 and also tuned down. I remember from before that one of the guitars we have is the same model, Yamaha apx.. I really like mine, I can hammer the shit out of it without making too much noise in the house and when it's plugged in it ceases to be an acoustic and I really like the neck. Obviously I've no idea what strings you use, but I can highly recommend Ernie Ball Earthwood ph- bronze 10-52 with a plain 17 G .. Light top, Heavy bottom, very common😁
  22. A quick listen to the electric ladyland version it sounds like a downwards progression on the bass, on a my normally tuned guitar would seem to be F Eb C but an octave lower, so if you were a half step down the notes would be F sharp E C sharp, the rhythm chord at that point on this version is indistinguishable to me, but I think it's the bass.
  23. Yep I'm listening to it just now and there's clearly a rhythm guitar playing chords, I guess I'm just used to hearing him playing as a trio... probably also Jimi. Which part of the song and which guitar part is the chord you're looking for.
  24. Absolutely, I didn't mean to be negative, I thought it was a great cover thanks, it's amazing just how many different folk manage to cover the unique style of Jimi Hendrix and very curious to [me at least] how nothing like it is popular with today's listeners. And btw I very much know how good it is to be part of something and be that guy on the second guitar, cheers.
  25. Thanks Paul for a direct link to Stihl GB, Firstly, I wonder if you can confirm whether msa 200 and 220 have the same motor, I ask because I modified my 200 by fitting 220 sprocket, bar and chain a couple of years ago and I presumed that the rest was the same, anyway it changed the saw a lot with higher chain speed and 3/8" full chiz, but I guess you know this as you brought out the 220. And second, I'm interested in having the larger AP 500s battery for this saw but from your earlier post regarding charging and overheating does this mean that my AL 300 charger isn't suitable for the larger battery, and if so, will the AL 301 charger also charge and extend the life of the 300 and 300s batteries, cheers.
