Bit of contract work in Inverness ( left to my own devices with the excavator as logs were a good way from mill) and then a day at mates milling some lovely elm, couple of soft patches but still a good workout for his 881 and panther 60 kit.

South Western Ambulance Service declares 'critical incident' APPLE.NEWS South Western Ambulance Service blames "extreme pressures" for extended wait times for patients. Not a criticism but more of an observation, have certain managers become rather fond of the drama that a headline can cause !!. A critical incident declaration “really “ ok the ambulance service will be busy it’s a bank holiday weekend but talk about hype and over reaction. Seems the way of things nowadays sadly.

Lol 😂 too much sun today, not used to this up here that’s my excuse. Suitably corrected 👍👍
-
Lovely it was Andy Guy who’s it was was chuffed to bits with what he got from it, bit bright for pics but some nice boards for sure.
-
Ok Les Lot different to the hands on feel you get with the woodlands, to tell truth they both have pros and cons. Log handling with likes of that Oak today was a different game all together, the machine is far more capable than me at the min, I am as the saying goes the weakest link right now 😀. Super capable machine Les but I think I’ll miss the 130 for the smaller detail oddball stuff I did a lot of.

Hi All Mate up in Inverness is doing a lot more one off bespoke engineering tasks, anyone needing anything custom etc he’s a sound guy with a fully kitted workshop. Tig,Mig, CNC lathe, plasma cutter and pipe bender, Bridgeport milling machine etc etc.
-
Steep learning curve and one goosed blade so far 🤷♂️. Bit of fencing material and some nice Oak both customers jobs.

Possibly but if stuff is in the mud and buried ie not exposed to o2 then things tend to last a lot better and also a factor is the majority of the plane will be aluminium which will act as an Anode to any more noble metals nearby, ie the conrods were like new.
-
Only one but mag survey imagery showed a twin engine configuration. Once it was confirmed as plane wreckage we ain’t been allowed back on that location. Still waiting for positive ID. The generic type of Engine is easy enough to identify it’s the actual model and an id number that can be traced that’s the key.

Looks awesome. What's the length and width of cut.? 4.8m and I think 1.2m log max for a 1.050m cant if I remember correctly, I guess in reality maybe a tad less, time will tell.
-
Cheers Bill You done much with the woodlands yet ??. Yesh I’m looking forward to getting it going and getting some money back off it. Did you try that fix on the land cruiser box ??

Well Les the internet is a shit place to judge an individual if you have never previously met them face to face. Truth is im not that sensible bud nor do I possess the ability or patience to bang the type of posts some do. I judge people based on how I find them and Andy has always been sound to deal with bud no frills or pc/woke bullshit, what you see is what you get. we both work in an environment where the banter is relentless and often close to the bone to put it mildly. Yeah you are right I guess I worked in Carmarthen for a good while and also down at Milford Haven and there’s no shortage as you say.
-
Plan is at some point to have a day down at Andy’s with it, he’s got some Oak set aside for me. We may well get dressed up in white pointy hats or trump baseball caps and discuss the finer points of Lockdowns at the same time 😀👍. Jokes aside I did a lot of research I can assure you before committing and didn’t find anyone with too much bad to say about them.
-
Yeah I’ll be having a play with it. Big J was complimentary about the strength and amount of steel in Trakmet kit so hopefully it will take a beating well, I work a lot with polish welders etc and can’t knock the work they do. I think I’m close to what I can sensibly tow Les to tell truth. 2.4m wide and 3m tall so have to watch where I go with it.
-
Well Les it’s a big commitment for sure, paid a chunk extra to get the wide head option and heavy duty chassis rails etc, tried to set it up to hopefully cover most of what I’ve got planned. Pawel has been sound to deal with bud throughout the whole process. Leaving the vessel on sat morning from Newport docks and heading up to his place to get some instruction on the computer set works side of things before I go home.

Trakmet TTP 600 mobile finally at mine after a good few delays due to covid lockdowns in Poland and Italy. Mate took delivery whilst I’m offshore. Must thank Big J for some good advice and input whilst sorting spec and Pav for putting up with the endless questions.

Ouch cutting that bud 😳

Think you might’ve heard me grumble about that too Andy, I’m sure someone on here explained the internal structure of the cells or something. Either way it does hammer the blades.

Met Police officer under investigation for shouting 'Free Palestine' at protest APPLE.NEWS A female Metropolitan Police officer is being investigated after being filmed chanting "Free... Simple solution along the lines of there’s your notice, 🤮🤮🤮nearly as cringeworthy as those police whom thought it appropriate to take the bloody knee.

Britons asked to plant trees across the country to mark the Queen's platinum jubilee APPLE.NEWS For decades planting trees has been part of the royal day job, but now we're all being asked to... Well I guess the prices will be on the up soon.
-
I did not suggest right or wrong at all Mark as well you know, I suggested that recent history will point to them fighting rather than just being annihilated.
-
If you read back a few posts I mentioned the other day that the tragedy of this as is often the case that the innocents on the ground will suffer because of the actions of politicians so I’m neither blind nor immune to the suffering of the civilians out there. Mark you can be pro Palestinian as much as you want bud, the truth is Israel is surrounded by states that want to see it erased off the map, I’d say they will fight every time now rather than meekly accept annihilation. if you have the answers to that problem then you are a wise man.
-
Well at least it makes a change from a hysterical Covid headline
-
I knew it 🙄it’s the Palestinian thing that’s brought out the socialist worker comrade thing in you isn’t it. Hamas knows exactly what it’s doing Mark. Send your Labour saviour Blair back in, wasn’t he a peace envoy for a while after massively contributing to the chaos in the Middle East a few year back.
