How Boris Johnson's pledge to end forest destruction ignores 25m trees Britain is burning for biomass APPLE.NEWS Drax's 'green fuel', which is made from wood pellets, produces more carbon than coal, scientists warn Hopefully a little bit of recognition that the whole bio mass con is not all it’s made out to be. £2.3million per day is an eye opener.

Truthfully a 130 will do you fine for 4k ish and knock out all the stuff you require no probs. If worried about the weather a good tarp will see you through until you get the shed sorted. I’m sitting with a nearly £30k Trakmet mobile set up but am seriously considering getting another 130 keeping it static in a lean too etc and just using that for day to day tasks that do not need anything bigger to accomplish. Having owned a 130 previously I’m well aware of its limitations etc but would easy purchase another which I guess says something.

The rollers are what you will find on all the better more professional machines. There is downforce on the blade from the roller hopefully the pic explains that. You most definitely don’t want the back of the blade touching the shoulder on the roller that will wreck the blade in no time. The woodlands hybrid bearing and guides type set up works fine from my experience with the 130, although it has no downforce on the blade as such, I’ve seen a lot of articles on Norwood owners ditching the ceramic guides for rollers. The learning curve and info to get these things to cut correctly is not to be underestimated, Ive picked the brains off loads of people to solve issues. Just when you think you’ve cracked it there is always something to fetch you back to earth with a bump. I’d thoroughly recommend trying to find someone within travelling distance whom has a mill to get a look etc at what’s what, there’s no shortage of them out there or people using them on here.

Well you can it it depends on how many you plan to go through I use a local saw doctor whom does a great job which has been good enough for me, I have recently though had the chance of a dinasaw sharpening machine which I’ll probably go for. 130 is an ok machine for sure, likes being under cover if you can do that as the paint and galvanising is ok to middling at best. With hindsight I wish I’d kept mine and set it up permanently in a lean to or something similar, super easy to just knock something up on for very little effort.

Woodlands 130 was a great little mill I found, if you have the ability to load logs and flip them etc you are laughing. For cutting normal every day structural timber etc I’d say that would be totally fine. Ripper37s are a good option for those too. Sometimes ultra wide mills are a bit of a double edged sword, yes you can slab big logs but you will not be able to push it through smaller stuff as fast plus blades etc are a lot more expensive. I always found with my 130 it was the physical limits of loading and turning logs that stopped me before the mill capacity.

I used to get custom made offset sprockets for a crf 250 engined quad that KIK Honda at clithero built I’m pretty sure it was Talon engineering that supplied them.

Had a few pieces recently, only milled it to see how it would turn out, pleased I did in the end and had no trouble shifting the boards and planks that came from it.

'Worst cold ever' spreading across UK as many 'can't shift' sickness bug APPLE.NEWS People across the UK have reported a draining illness described by many as the worst... Well let’s see where this goes. Hiding away in lockdown a cause ??🤷‍♂️ or vaccination for only one form of covid virus.

The utter lunacy of this policy and the nightingale farce resulting in huge waste of taxpayers money just seems to be acceptable. The article and info is in a number of papers. I’m no fan of tbe Guardian it’s just it was easy to post a link on an I phone 🤷‍♂️

Do a bit of research and check out how many private beds and hospitals were block booked and the utter waste involved. The article refers specifically to covid patients. Abandon or not the financial incompetence is staggering. Particularly when you look at where we are now in reality.

Worth a read but at the same time the financial naivety and incompetence “or is it ??” Is staggering. Seems like covid is the cash cow that just won’t stop giving.

Union (RMT) of which I’ve been a member for many years turned out to be not worth tuppence Mark, far more concerned with hard left London train driving issues bud. I often nowadays think of cancelling my subs 🤷‍♂️It’s only the historic allegiance ie NUM which all my family were in that keeps me paying it. Things are nearly at the point of conclusion now in reality. End of this month I should get a final decision on what we both agree is the balance due. Accountancy fees of 8-10k over the 3 years plus a six figure “up to now hit”and the stress that goes with it 🤷‍♂️. It has certainly made me more tax savvy that’s for sure and going fwd I’ll never work the amount of days I did in the past and sacrifice the time with family to pay the subsequent tax bills. The net result is the Hmrc will most definitely get less from me and a good few of the other 47 than they previously did. Ironically the inspector on my case pretty much stated if it had been now with the current workload Hmrc have and the hassle vs reward to basically move some tax from the ltd side of revenue to self assessment side, the case would probably never have been taken against us as they are backs to the wall with all the known post covid furlough, bounce back, grants fraud issues etc. Anyway stop posting leftist propaganda 👍

👍 good luck to you if you can get it bud.

That’s some screw in reality Andy 🤢

Mark constantly beats the Tory bad labour good left wing socialist worker shite but likes to keep his tax bills down like everyone else in reality. That’s the jist of the labour socialist comment Eggs 🤷‍♂️ They are all the same as far as I’m concerned, everyone of them has tried to outdo each other with covid restrictions shite and spending promises that have yet to be paid for. Tory, Labour or Liberal they all line their pockets once done, The family Blair probs the most successful at it in recent times I’d say.

No Mark I don’t bud but you preach the labour socialist worker sermon and have plenty to say on the subject yet a while back boasted how your accountant gets you down to virtually paying nothing !!. IR 35 should not concern you surely !!. I and 47 others who had to go through either an agency or an umbrella company ( common practice offshore ) ran like this for 5 years during that period we were assured multiple times verbally and via e mail etc that we were IR35 compliant and sched D offshore tax status was irrelevant, that we had no rights to be employees and therefore not entitled to holiday pay,pensions, sick pay or paternity leave etc. Once again all of the above is and has been common practice for years in many industries. Out of nowhere we were told nope you all should have been on the books regardless of the ad hoc nature of the job or the fact we had no say in the way we were paid. It was a take it or leave it deal, work through agency or not at all. Briefly the battle over the past 3 years has been to prove we had no choice and financial gains were made by the agency and the company. That has been acknowledged by hmrc but at the end of the day they still want the difference between how we were paid as contractors and how they see it as we should have been paid ie employees even though we have received zero benefits as such. It would take me all night to log it all down but in a nutshell they have had every penny I’ve made offshore for the past 2 years whilst trying to catch up and pay tax on the earnings I’m using to pay off what they say is due. I’ve lived off savings and income from other work, milling etc through my ltd company. Last trip I did was 8 weeks on 6-6 nights bud plus an hr either side for hand overs so basically 14hr days 7 days a week and every penny was passed to revenue, so forgive me if I don’t buy into the labour good Tory bad socialist shite. Don’t forget bud where I’m from eh, starting off in lynemouth post miners strike is not being born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

You mean “not the one” I take it ??

Take it that’s not you they are referring too Mark 😜

Agreed, it’s like Andy says the squeeze on those whom are trying to get on is getting disproportionately worse and worse. The Rich as we are called up here if you earn over£43k have to pay 41% plus NI so basically half your income. Bottom and Top seem to be ok but those i the middle 🤷‍♂️. I’m working with guys whom have said **************** it this year and just will not take any more trips offshore rather than work for half pay. You wouldn’t mind half as much if it tax take was not spunked in such a reckless stupid manner half the time.

Rob I see 1 of the owners of companies concerned quite regularly swanning around an either a brand new Range Rover or on a good day a Maserati. The agency are on linked in waffling about how their people are so important to them etc etc. In meantime at least 1 of lads has lost his house, several are on medication and a number of relationships have suffered as a result of the stress and relentless hounding from Hmrc, throw in the covid farce and the results are not hard to foresee.

Pandora papers news – live: Rishi Sunak pledges HMRC probe as leaked files reveal finances of global elite APPLE.NEWS Huge trove of secret files lays bare offshore schemes used by super-wealthy to hide their riches Somehow I don’t think young Rishi will look too hard into this nor will HMRC, myself and 47 others I work/worked with are currently nearing the end of a 3 year ass whipping based on IR35 compliance etc. Agency and companies we worked for through that agency not so much as a smack on the wrist 😡. It will always be joe average hard working half decent types that will get shafted not millionaires or former PMs.

Yeah saw that last night 🤷‍♂️Some proper eye opening hypocrisy exposed in amongst all that.

Eggs genuinely I’ve struggled to keep up today with whatever it is that’s bugged you. Admittedly I’ve been busy and only read and replied quickly. Anyway I guess we all have shit days and god knows I’ve hated this lockdown and restrictions shit that unfortunately we are still putting up with up here. Leave it out if you want bud, or keep chewing away at it I can do either no probs. Tomorrow is another day 👍

FFS Eggs I’m not sure what’s your issue today/tonight is but I’m struggling to keep up with what the hell your point is with all of this. Covid and lockdown affected most I think but reality is we up here are still living with far more shite than anyone in England. You know my views on lockdown and restrictions since the very first day. Like I say you’ve had this argument all to your grumpy pissed off self right from the time you decided to chirp up. You not got anyone else to be a grumpy old twat with today like 🤷‍♂️. Mrs has just come off her bloody monthly pain on the arse time eggs but **************** me she’s not a patch on you. Reading back through the posts I presume you meant I didn’t like lockdown etc 🤷‍♂️That goes without saying. My comment on the lack of negative effect was directed at the series of posts you’ve fired out.
