    Won’t ever be enough Andy. Now if he or other hardcore pro restriction individuals were actually being hit financially or had to pay the £1750 then you might see a difference. That’s a small but not insignificant portion of working people going to be utterly trashed financially by this especially in Sturgeons empire of envy.

    Hotel quarantine to cost £1,750 - and lawbreakers can be jailed for 10 years APPLE.NEWS Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced key details of the scheme from February 15 after... Things are getting literally out of hand. 10 year prison terms !!! These politicians are drunk on a mix of power and absolute subservient compliance. As has been said some will be applauding and nodding in admiration of such abuses of power.

    Nope, still no answer. I too am starting to amass some unanswered questions. A pattern is beginning to COVID-19 and the Political Economy of Mass Hysteria WWW.MDPI.COM In this article, we aim to develop a political economy of mass hysteria. Using the background of... Little bit of bedtime reading that should appeal to your desire for full on anal analysis of stats.

    No ones wanting to revisit anything 🤷‍♂️. Andy is more than capable of speaking for himself of that I’m well aware so spare me your thanks.
  8. Man charged in Lanark over Captain Sir Tom Moore tweet APPLE.NEWS A man is due to appear in a Lanark court after being charged in connection with communication... Regardless of the crap the guy may have tweeted or posted is it a good direction to be heading ??. Not on Facebook or Twitter etc, so not sure at all in regards what was said but is it not good enough nowadays if someone posts crap or offensive material to take it down or ignore it. Let’s face it the stuff you can access on the internet is without limit. Hate crime/Thought crime etc etc seems to me a bad road to go down 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
  9. Can you post a pic of the turnbuckles location ??. I found when building mine that the tolerances weren’t great and pretty much upgraded all the bolts etc to a better grade inc nyloks throughout. There is a slight gap between the rail sections but nothing to worry about. It was set for level once on the trailer chassis and has stayed spot on since.

    You’ll have to fetch that down an intellectual peg or two bud to make any sense for me Mark.

    Covid-19

    As one of the enlightened, (and yet with self-proclaimed respect for CV-19), could you tell the rest of us poor sheep what is really going on please? Tens of thousands of people are literally dying to know the real truth. It’s not about not acknowledging or denying Covids existence or level of threat to whatever age group. The vast majority of dissent or disillusionment is primarily down to the use of Lockdown as the only tool in the box along with the huge amounts of collateral damage it causes. Whilst many on here have admitted that they have not experienced any financial hardships at all millions of others have often to the point of losing everything. At the end of this the statistics will be poured over as will contributing factors. Until that point some believe in one path others have a different opinion. Andy sitting in Norway right now is well placed to give an opinion of an alternative option to stringent lockdown.

    No I’d say not to tell the truth. Very very easy to show some common sense and compassion. Easy to say you understand but until your pay stops hitting the bank every month how can they truly truly know what it feels like. No difference to politicians and those other industries or businesses unaffected financially by lockdown.

    You don’t !!. He’s outside in the fresh air let’s not even try and quantify the minuscule risk of catching anything. Call the police if you have saws stolen or a chipper lifted and I bet you will not get that speed or level of response.

    Covid-19

    Captain Sir Tom caught Covid at hospital amid 'potentially avoidable' infections APPLE.NEWS National treasure Captain Sir Tom Moore, who died on Tuesday, caught Covid-19 at Bedford... There was another article I read today where a son stopped his 93 yr old dad being taken into hospital and onto a covid ward because he had a temperature, he had collapsed with a urinary tract infection which in itself is enough to cause a temperature but protocols dictated that was enough to put him in a ward with confirmed covid cases. He subsequently recovered at home from the infection.
  15. Some really nice workmanship for sure. I’d imagine it’s far from cheap.

    From my time in Finland J the biggest difference for me was the huge amount of cycle,walking and running paths. Didn’t matter where the road was either in built up area or out in the sticks it was built with an adjacent pathway. All ages used them to cycle incl kids to schools etc, cars obeyed the rules to the letter at crossings. Even in winter you’d see people cross country skiing on them. I’ve 11 year old twins whom live 3 mile from the village school and there’s no way I’d let them head out on the roads on bicycles.
  17. Was the finish you first had obtained with the factory supplied blade ??
  18. Blade tension is spot on around the 25ftlb mark with a final visual check of how blade is tracking on wheels, you soon know if tension is not right. Only thing that might help to get a better finish is a different tooth set angle or blade type to match whatever timber you are cutting. I can post up dozens of links to rough cut timber showing the same saw marks, there are numerous videos on how to actually duplicate the look on timber if it’s the finish you want. Mind you it could always be the fact I’m not looking for a great finish or am easy pleased 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
  19. Been cutting like that since day one Les, set up absolutely square on a proper strong trailer bed, always use fresh ripper 37s. Other than that what else is left to do 🤷‍♂️. Ill take some pics of the woodmizer LT40 cut Elm boards later on, they show virtually identical markings. The saw marks whilst visible are very very shallow as I’ve said and not enough for me to even worry about, rough cut is rough cut if I want dressed I’ll plane them. One pass at .25 or .50 mm will normally be more than enough.
  20. Few pics of the finish on mine too. Whilst visible they are so shallow it takes nothing to get rid of required. Brand new blades, tension is spot on with it tracking fine on both wheels. Oak, Elm and Cherry.
  21. As I posted earlier i was looking at a load of elm boards cut from a set works equipped woodmizer and they were pretty much the same. Mind you I’m not too fussed about the ultra smooth finish and do tend to push on a bit with the cut.
  22. The equally spaced lightly grooved lined pattern is what I’ve had with mine from day one, it’s more visible on some types of wood than others. The grooves are visible but so shallow if it’s a dressed beam I’m after I find one pass with the planer set at .5mm is enough to remove them all.
  23. Most cuts I make on the mill have that finish to a greater or lesser extent depending on type of wood I’m cutting. I’ve seen a pile of elm slabs cut to 1”from a computerised woodmizer and they had the same. Im no expert but i have found with my 130 if the blades set at the correct torque and sharp it will cut accurately all day no problem. The finish is often worse than good high standard chainsaw milling but that’s been mentioned many times before on here.
