We have the illusion of a democracy. Its heavily weighted to a two party system and the 'first past the post' ensures it will never change. I think the closest the two main parties where to being seriously rattled was when the UKIP where in full swing. A sizable portion of the UK where united in a common goal of getting us out of the EU. With that level of unrest the Tories tried to call their bluff and ended up with egg on their face. I cannot see any other part coming close to breaking this system. None of the other fringe parties has a clue other than making their unique selling point their only real manifesto. SNP? Wank. Greens? Wank. Lib Dems? Wank. The French had the right idea for changing the system. Nothing short of that is going to have any effect.

Hey, Im down Forfar Direction and have a selection of Air Dried Oak, Elm and Beech. Nice day trip down from the Broch.

They don’t care.

More popular than ever as there is simply no real alternative. The voter is being asked to vote for being bent over the barrel or being bent over the barrel with lube. Both will be a pain in the arse, one just slightly more tolerable.

Pity we got one that only affects 00.02% of the population and on average kills those older than the average age of death. 🤷♂️

Why would you not use the 90 for Milling? I thought they where the Dogs danglies back in the day?

I assume this was meant as a PM? The internets is a tricky thing to master, huh?

The Op has 6 IBC's. If he follows your plan ()same as everyone's plan really) and cuts the Liners in half he will have twice as much 'Roofs' than he needs. So there will be 50% of the Liner material needing thrown away. Unless of course you move the Goal Posts and say he could double the 'Roof's up. I think you know this now hence the Goal Post moving.

The penny finally dropped, eh? 🤣

I think you’re trolling me now? Surely? Unless Scottish Cleaning Services has hacked your account? 😁

But only half the cheese. The other hand will make one roof. [emoji57]
-
Exactly. This is exactly what we do get. Now you yourself have just stated that you'll have two 'roofs' . Two roofs from each IBC Plastic Liner. So two 'Roofs' from one liner, and how many 'Roofs' does one IBC need? Think about it. I think outta respect for you the others are just pretending you've not been repeatedly forcing this line of reasoning.

Think about what you’ve just wrote. 🧐

Customers asking to pay cash to avoid VAT.
trigger_andy replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
Is it illegal to take cash as payment? Surely if you make it clear you are including the vat when paid in reddies whats the big deal? Or are they explicitly asking for a cash price on the job? Dont ask you dont get as far as Im concerned. Cash is king after all. -
Love it. Would be good to see that in action. Where did you buy it from?
-
Each to their own. As I said, Id happily pop over if I was local and the log was sound. Regardless of the value being low til its dried you still have to put the same work in either at your yard or this customers, the only difference would be you'd get the log for free. Yes, if the log is gonna move if thats what it wants to do. But it seems like you're trying to say thats not gonna happen if you paid for the log and it was milled in your yard.

Or perhaps the Tree Surgeon in question thinks a bit of a shame to ring the tree up and thought he'd offer it up to someone local? Saves him Ringing it up and hauling it away if a Miller will do that for him. And the Customer is happy as they'll have a couple of Slabs that will sit in the Shed, warp, check, get Honeycomb then eventually get dumped at the recycling.

Have you by any chance recently moved from Scotland?
-
No actually! Its not in the Manual I have. That could save me a whole load more faffing around. Cheers.
-
Is there an echo in here? Anyway if you buy 6 IBC's and cut the roof of three in half you have 6 covers. You still have three left to dispose of.

If it does not look rotten when felled I would (and do) I really do not see why so many see this as an issue? If I bought the log (or even got it for free) I'd have to either collect it or pay to have it collected and then still spend the day milling it. If the access is good then just turn up. Slab it up, leave the customer a couple of slabs outta the branches and leave the mess at your arse and bugger off with a load of Oak. Jobs a good 'un.

Yeh, bought second hand and a older version. Perhaps the Cam grind has changed since then? I’ve kept the angle Ripper set theirs at. (Is it 10 degrees? I can’t remember off-hand) The manual does not cover this, the profiling of the disc is how they deal with the next tooth. I know the guy who supplied the Ripper Cam template designed it to fully follow the gullet of the Ripper blades. The a woodlands video will be using the compatible Blade for the Cam to get a full gullet grind. I’ll try one one time with the metal putty and I think it will get it, if not then I’ll get the Diamond Disc and it won’t be an issue. It’s close to £150 delivered though.
