  1. I built a log deck with ramps behind it Load the log deck with over 5t of logs, then stack them behind with the loader Quick rill up onto the log-deck when the loaders gone The loader cen keep me going for quite a while
  2. Get a Bandsaw. Still graft but a lot less than an Alaskan. £400+ a day.
  3. I asked, they said no.
  4. I’ll try and hold out long enough to post a vid. 🤣 Its not arrived yet. It left Sweden about 10 days ago so surely it’s due any day. But it’s going to the dealer first for a check over then coming down to me.
  5. Hmmm, I have an idea. 🤣
  6. So I’ve resawn a slightly curved Oak Slab that I milled with the Chilaskan about 4 years ago. It’s just under 3” thick now and about 4 meters long. It’s going to be a garden bench, maybe around a fire pit, but we’ll see. I’m thinking that I’ll copy the design below. It’s simple, sturdy and looks good. My question is could I use green oak for the slab legs? I’ll need 4 legs (minimum) and it seems a waste to use seasoned oak for this. I don’t want the legs to twist/warp and give me an unstable bench. But then again, it will be sitting on grass so could well absorb any warping? Any advice is gladly welcome, as is suggestions for designs.

  7. Just think how quickly it could dry your windows after they’ve been licked all day.
  8. Deffo gonna get one.
  9. Nah, we’re all good. It might seem bitchy but it’s just messing about. We chat quite happily via PM.
  10. Now that’s a handy wee toy! How much did that set you back?
  11. We could do with the same kind of backbone over here to be honest.
  12. Shave off? As in a dance off? Is that where we get all oiled up and see who can defluff the fastest? Or maybe in the most flamboyant way? Extra points for the best design? 😁
  13. All good at my end. We’ll get a pint one day and I’m sure we’ll have a blast.
  14. I covered that with Slovenly Anyway, we have been sent to opposite ends of the Classroom so we need to wrap this conversation up sharpish
  15. I dont see why people who look after their health here in the UK should suffer because of those who refuse to do the same We have had the repercussions of a slovenly lifestyle and a poor diet drummed into us from the Government and the NHS for decades now But as Big J mentioned, the figures for the US are almost on a par with the UK and Scandinavia and we can hardly say that they are slimmer, healthier and far less densely populated the UK can we?
  16. Yawn If ever there was a case for false equivalence is is it
  17. Not if hes been involved at any stage
  18. You've completely missed the point I was making, perhaps deliberately, perhaps due to your advancing age. Regardless, Ive more than covered my POV and will leave it at that.
  19. 😂😂😂 Thats not what you picked you up on as well you know. Naughty!
  20. Well to be honest it was more of a manor of speaking. Im sure it does in as much as I’m lead to believe it does. For example there is repeated adverts on the radio from the authorities stating that it might not be suitable for various applications including motorcycles. When they are broadcasting this on one station 5 times a day then I’m inclined to believe them and Im sure they’ve done a lot of trials and testing which has resulted in them advising to either not run it in motorcycles or at least make sure your engine is compatible. I have had American Muscle cars all my adult life. As such Im a member of various clubs and forums here in the UK, Oz and the US. Some say E10 has caused no end of bother some say it’s fine. Where I to search for a leading question on these forums either for or against E10 issues that’s all I’d find. (Conformation bias)
  21. Simple. Don’t ask framed and leading questions. 😂
  22. I’m sure it does. The point being that asking leading questions (or statements)will always throw up answers to support that line of reasoning. Again, conformation bias.
  23. I should Google that. 😁
  24. It certainly seemed to be framed as a question and when you Google search a loaded (framed) search you’ll find a plethora of confirmation bias backing searches. Going by your reasoning if I search for ‘fake moon landing’ it must be true as I’ll have loads of hits.
  25. Sent him a message. Not heard back.
