Supposedly there is 500oz of Silver in each Tomahawk Missile. Now that the Warmonger Biden is in power it’s only a matter of time before they’re slung at countries with Brown people to ‘liberate’ them. Silver might be making a jump. Interestingly Silver is the most conducive and the most reflective metal in the world. But obviously it oxidises and gold does not. The Cable we run on some Wells is Copper coated in 30% Silver. We can run about 10,000 meters of the stuff at a time. When these wells reach the end of their lives the cables come back out and get scrapped. Someone’s making some serious coin.

There is always a premium on coins. Cheaper to buy bullion. There is also vat on Silver at 20%, no vat on Silver in Norway though. Better off buying older 90% Silver coins that are closer to spot price, or even scrap silver off of eBay. I get Silver for free when I make Jewellery with them off-shore.

I remember that Pt peak. I was buying a fair bit of AU, AG and a bit of PT between 2010 and 2015 and cashed in to fund the deposit of my house in Norway. The speculation back then was AU and PT where gonna remain the roughly level and that PT was perhaps gonna over take gold. I had a couple of 1kg AG coins from the Perth and RCM Mints, I thought thought they where cool and where a fun thing to bring out at dinner parties. Dont have much these days so what I do buy I like them to have some history. Even if its just some Morgans or Peace Dollars. I bought a Goloid Dollar one time on the off-chance it was not fake. It was fake.

There is that. Its why the Bank of England has rolls and rolls of tinsel in their vaults.

True to a point. But then Platinum is more scarce than Gold and harder to obtain and obviously useful yet has never been considered money. Currently Platinum is trading significantly below Gold but for a while they where comparable. Gold is also where the traders run to when markets are down. Historically fiat currency has never lasted longer than something like 60 years? Paper is just that, you just have to have faith in it. But Gold, for the last 6000 year anyway, has been regarded as money all over the globe and will continue to be so.
-
The Feck is loonacy? Is that the next crypto? Define 'real money'. Since the banks and almost every country in earth keeps Gold in reserve Id argue thats 'real money'. If you can print 'real money' outta thin air how on earth can that be real?`

My Boka hits the 90’s when in full reflux. But then you’re stripping all the flavour out. At 94-95% it evaporates on your tongue but still tastes a little bit sweet. For whisky you just remove half the copper scrunches. [emoji16] Got some 5 year old in Mason Jars at home it’s getting there. (All at home in Russia of course)

Whats the process for getting in on this action.

What I need is another garage or shed. I cant even turn in mine just now. There is way more wood working equipment in there now since you where there. I need to take them all over to my workshop/barn storage I think. Give myself some room.
-
Hows it going with that? I found a 36" Chilaskan in the garage that Ive never used and forgot I even bought.

You? I had a new toy arrive in the post today.

I cannot account for everyone's financial decisions Leslie. But I'll leave it at that as its taking the thread off of tangent.

I’ll have to pop over to your site again and look at the price.

That’s because food is subsidised through your tax. Foods not really cheap, if you’re paying tax you’re paying for the real cost and that of those who don’t or can’t pay tax. But you’re right, for an hours pay you can feed a family for the whole day. That’s why I don’t buy into kids from poor neighbourhoods needing lunches delivered to their homes when not in school. It’s just sheer laziness.

I bought a few barrels that came from the local distillery. When was loading them into the trailer liquid sloshed all over me. Thought it was just water but it was clear it was spirits. Got them home and drained 1 pint outta each of the barrels and weighed the fluid. It was 60-65% alcohol. It also tasted amazing. 6 Pints of cask strength Whiskey and it cost me £35 a pint, with the barrels thrown in for free.

Clever stuff! More kit for me to drool over.

I have this saw and really like it. Came with an 18" Bar as standard. Bought for under £200 from amazon.de. Its got a great power to weight ratio and really pepped up with a muffler mod.

You could do far worse than these guys. I'll be getting some custom made Tarps for covering my vented log bags. A Tree Surgeon buddy of mine has a size he has specified, think its 15-20m long and wide enough to cover a double row of bags. Well prices as well. They have been manufacturing Off-shore Kit bags for decades and have customers the world over for them. Montrose is the base for a few training centers in the Oil Field and there is always international employees attending, when they do they they make a bee-line down for the bags.

I bought about £250 of spares from Logosol. All direct from Sweden to my UK address and never paid a penny. Because of covid and its screwing up the global supply chain I now ship to mates in Norway and hand carry back to the UK. Id happily help others out of they'd like to take that offer up.

What an utterly pathetic view of people who voted leave. That in your mind they are mostly all old codgers that dont know any better or have a quaint but racist view of those from outside of the UK. They could not possibly be intelligent people from all walks of life, of all ages and all races that see the EU for what it is and see its failings. For someone with two bunnies hugging as an avatar you really come across as a nasty piece of work.

Not sure why you’ve edited a simple request and days after the first post made it political? Perhaps to get a reaction? Anyway, since you’ve done so I’ll bite. I voted leave as I’m sure you’re aware. I can guarantee it impacts me significantly more financially each month than your one off tax. But I believe it’s for the greater good of the U.K. so it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. The EU’s vaccine roll out has been an absolute shambles, where we to have remained in the EU we’d have been dragged into its mess and undoubtedly many more elderly would have died of Covid than already have. So yes, we should thank the leave voters for saving lives and perhaps we should not be so selfish. I’m sure you agree a few hundred quid in tax is a small price to pay for saving lives. Good luck in your hunt to an answer to your query.

Converting log splitter to single handled operation
trigger_andy replied to Gav73's topic in Firewood forum
Yeh, I never use it for moving split logs. I tip from the splitter right into the trailer if on my own or let the pile build up if the missis is coming back at a later date to bag up the logs. -

Strange? I’ll guess it’s the tongs you tried as the Stihl ones are very ergonomic and effortless hook into logs and lift them.
