I’d be over the moon to have a loader like that instead of winching up ramps on your own 🤷♂️. Good days output that Andy 👍👍
-
I’ve have the mini mill as per first pic and to be honest it’s very easy to go off plumb, I’d say the second pic of the Haddon type thing would be more stable and probs give a more accurate cut. I was doing 9” cuts in Douglas using a 461 with a 20” bar over 4.8m and it was not easy going, ended up rigging a winch on end of slabs to pull the set up forward.

My youngest two are unfortunately still off up here thanks to Sturgeon just wanting to be different Mark but I can tell you they are looking forward to going back big time. Even the SAGE advisory people are saying virtually zero risk involved.

Super spreading has to be one of the most naff pathetic hysterical phrases to come out of this whole saga.

Just read a news article the minister concerned has back peddled and now says you dont have to isolate 🤷♂️, if I was this shit at my job I’d be out in my arse pronto 😡😡
-
I’d start by cutting the root plate away and see if there is anything going on inside. Recently cut some spalted Beech and I could have sold it 2-3 times over. Good size stick, might be giving a 661 a bit much to do, 881 probs the best option 👍

School pupils who test positive must isolate even if they test negative later on APPLE.NEWS Secondary school pupils will start taking rapid 'lateral flow' coronavirus tests from today. If... Pure and utter stupidity. If it’s proven to be a false positive why on earth would a whole household still be expected to isolate for 10 days. Not hard to see why people are pretty much paying lip service to guidance when there is zero common sense or logic involved.

David Gambo, Really decent guy. My spelling of the second name may be wrong mind. Horses all carried the name Bishwell.

Too quick to flag up anything that’s not PC or ultra Woke as far right. You’d have thought someone would have pointed out how bloody stupid it reads right from the get go ie a far right proposal !!.

Swiss look set to approve ban on facial coverings APPLE.NEWS A far-right proposal to ban facial coverings in Switzerland headed towards a narrow victory in a... Far right 🤷♂️. Guess that means the majority of Swiss are far right. Cant help but admire them for having guts to be honest rather than ultra PC.

Not so nice on the eye and unfortunately had to be done with the 880 😖. Yet to mill the last bit of Elm but hoping for some decent boards out of it.
-
Hopefully shift some on, probs keep a couple ( Not that I ever get round to doing much with them) and a few will go to mates etc. Like I said it’s basically bought as firewood but the temptation to mill rather than just ring it up is there if the log looks half decent. Yeah the whole piece is usable,I’m sure others more clued up than me will know more of the actual characteristics of the different parts of the board, colour fades fast anyway literally in front of your eyes.
-
How’s progress with the mill ?? you keeping an eye on the guides ?? They have a tendency to move a bit I’ve noticed.
-
Bit more Elm today. Same as before destined for firewood.
-
If there is no interest on here I’m sure someone off one of the woodwork sites would be interested. Seen a few threads about restoration of old woodworking eqpt.

16” wheel size should offer good options just go for a taller profile Tyre. What you got on at the minute ?. Afraid you can’t have it all as standard ie bigger rims and chunkier tyres 🤷♂️🤷♂️. I run a 3.2 wild track and if the chance arises I’ll drop back to 17” probs off a limited model. I’d happily lose a bit of rim diameter for a taller profile off road tyre, I’ll wait till the factory fit tyres are done before I change anything.
-
Go on to one of the many tyre rim calculator sites and they will give you multiple different wheel/tyre combinations that will still keep you within the original specs. 18 inch is gonna end up needing lower profile tyres !!, is that the look what you are after ??.

Ash / Sycamore or similar showing pip / burr

Where you located ? -
No Les I was brought up with them always being around, Appleby was on the calendar every year. We used them for work on the beaches to recover coal so familiar with horses in harness as opposed to ridden. I saw then how much bloody hard work they were lol. Like I say my sister has never stopped with them, pony club to show jumping to horse driving trials. Mind you as I get older I can sort of see the attraction to having a good working pair in the woods on a cold spring morning, actually hold that thought cos that pair will need feeding and mucking out all winter too every single day 🙄.
-
My sisters preferred breed has been for many years Hackney/Welsh cob cross, all breeding stock was sourced from one farmer on the gower peninsula. Great mix of speed and stamina, she competed at international level in Horse driving trials so the guy obviously knew his horses.
-
Horses as a working animal can be a great thing Les, but it’s the 365 days a year morning noon and night commitment that’s the hard part. Be great if the demand was actually there to justify keeping a good working pair, maybe not as big as those percherons mind.

Upgraded bushes available from woodlands FOC !!!!

Have you fitted the upgraded bushes on the posts ??

Cheap mill Andy 😳😳😳how very dare you. Mill snobbery eh 😃
-
The oil tank is all his own work so no cost to him other than time and consumables. Material wise a lot of it is scrap or salvaged stuff from the oil and gas game. I’m sure if he thought he could get 200 a pop he’d knock a few up 👍
