Time will tell Les, I know the difference a clean blade can make to say a 1m wide slab cuts finish, admittedly it’s a fairly specific type of thing I ask of it so I'm prepared to do a bit of tweaking if needs be bud.
-
I’m looking to improve things as I find them, this seems to be the best option. They are in Herefordshire I’m in Aberdeenshire 🤷♂️.

Anyone done much in the way of mods to their mills or what was fitted as standard to keep blades clean whilst cutting ??. Spent yesterday at a mates workshop doing some mods. Relocated one of the log clamps, I’ve never liked the original position and hoping the new location works out. The single drip feed on the idle side roller is in my opinion not targeted enough to keep the 4800mm band clean when doing wide slabs without clogging up the cut and heating the blade so having a go at upgrading the blade/band wheel cleaning set up, the brushes in the pic are the initial part of what will eventually incorporate a 12v pump and some washer nozzles to give a controlled burst if necessary. Hoping to fit a wick type system to outside of blade too with a drip feed of diesel, cant do the inside due to the v belts on the wheels. Didn’t quite feel right taking a drill and a mig set to the mill but hey ho 🤷♂️.

It’s a total lottery in reality after this winters storms. Maybe on average £100-120 a ton possibly a bit more if it’s nice.

Lucky to get hold of some more really nice Oak lately, cracking little telehandler hired in for the weekend.

Few others have answered the above question but in a nutshell the darkness is no longer any protection for Deer or other animals regardless of the legality, take foxing for example, there’s a whole industry devoted to high tech kit and ever more potent rifle/cartridge combos. Regards my own standards I’m proud to say I’ve never pulled the trigger on any animal at a range greater than 150m, the whole field craft aspect of getting close is more of an achievement for me than the the shot itself.

100% correct SNP hate field sports or the countryside for that matter, they’d rather see wholesale slaughter than let sensible experienced people manage things. As always the press will give them a free ride. I’ve already seen the results of cheap night vision and thermal aids etc, head, gut and even one carcass literally shot straight in the backside 😡😡😡absolutely disgraceful and criminal behaviour sanctioned by those supposedly paid to look after our countryside. Also no deer equals no good reason to possess a firearm 🤷♂️something the snp would love to fetch in.
-
Forestry commission throughout the UK has passed the buck in regards deer control. The methods used and shots taken by some leave a lot to be desired.
-
Lol 😂 wtf are you doing here then 🥴. I feel totally fine Mull thanks for caring.
-
You should read it bud, try saying no once in a while. You’ll feel better for it.
-
Indeed eggs, contrary to what Mull is implying I’m not glued to the news feeds, if I’m a day out in regards something that catches my eye out 🤷♂️.

Scotland's alcohol problem laid bare WWW.ALCOHOL-FOCUS-SCOTLAND.ORG.UK Alcohol-related deaths in Scotland are 54% higher than in England and Wales. Try a dry weekend Mull
-
I put up a article from the news today if you didn’t notice you pissed up turkey. It’s 2330 Mull the kids are in bed me and the Mrs are chilling after being out with the kids all day as it happens. You might want to post during the week when sober rather than regular weekend alcohol fuelled outbursts. You know Mull a lot of those whom were a little bit more rational had to listen to 2 bloody years of hysteria and shite so to see news articles that are actually taking a reasoned look at the events can indeed be considered as “ Making the news today “. If you don’t like it ignore it or just walk on by, easy as that.

Ah well you say !!!! But it hasn’t left Mark, we are in an absolute mess financially now and with all the other health and social issues that are starting to be acknowledged 🤷♂️. The last two years will be viewed as a total disaster once we start to look at it for what it really was. Mark take a look at the total cost bud not just through your anti Tory goggles. You seen some of the pharma profit figures lately ?? They make BP and Shell look like steptoe and son.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 she’s a walking talking contraceptive.

You cracking one off to your little ginger crush
-
Rubbish Mark, that’s your view not the reality of how this has panned out, the Swedish approach ( whom a number on here supported and a good few more ridiculed) was by far and away the common sense way it should have been dealt with. Even those perennial doom mongers the WHO are now calculating the real cost of this lunacy.
-
Sweden's Covid strategy appears to have been vindicated APPLE.NEWS We in Britain should ask whether more lives might have been saved in the round had the Government not enforced a compulsory... Interesting read and facts in particular the excess death criteria utilised by the WHO. In regards bullshit Bills latest ultra wise words I think a lot of sensible and well educated people did realise that all along.

Durham Police says it will investigate Keir Starmer 'beergate' allegations APPLE.NEWS Durham Police had previously said it would not probe claims against Sir Keir, but reversed that decision after 'significant'... 🤔 The day after the local Why did Durham police not tell voters they were investigating Starmer’s beergate? APPLE.NEWS Any joy Keir Starmer felt today at Labour’s electoral progress yesterday will now be somewhat tainted, Robert Peston... You ever get the feeling that they all pretty much knew the line that was pumped out for two years was indeed overhyped bollocks. In regards the police decision to keep quiet until after the votes were cast etc, I’m sure someone will justify not informing the plebs.

Like a few others on here I’ve been there with a military ID card, it has its place in that scenario but the connotations that go with it becoming an everyday use thing by joe average citizen 🤔absolutely not. No justifiable need at all.
-
I’d agree in regards voting ie the day you rock up at the polling station, but definitely not the carrying of an ID card as an everyday requirement.

Regards securing the head of the mill I made up a plate and drilled one hole on the lower part of the carriage and then matched it up to one of the pairs of spare holes on the rails, so two holes on the rail and 1 on the frame, the plate can stay in place as it clears the rails during day to day use, absolutely solid once nipped up, I used a single ratchet front and back to help secure it as well.

Politicians 🤮 An awesome work horse of a boat from a great yard that the local Labour Party is doing nothing to promote.
-
Well I was trying to be polite Les but yeah they are bud. Nearly as bad as a T6 Ranger.
-
If it’s the Woodlands you have I’d agree wholeheartedly great saws for the money, but be aware they do not weather well if left outdoors, cover it or put it indoors would be my advice.
