  1. That’s a stunning piece of beech. The groves look perfectly accept to me. What more could someone expect? 🤷‍♂️
  2. Looking forward to the video of this beast splitting logs. Sounds like it’s really pouring them out Lee.
  3. Maybe so, but I prefer Silver and Gold.
  4. If the moneys so good in Window cleaning why are half the folk here slogging their guys out for £120- £200 a day? You tell me who's got it right. If the moneys so good in window cleaning why's he dreaming up all this other work when he can live like a king with a Squeegie? I know a lot of Window Cleaners by the way. And why are you not out with a mop and bucket instead of knee deep in sewage day in day out?
  5. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing you dont put it in a fruit salad. Are you talking about first or second fix? I doubt drilling a pilot hole is a technique used very often by a joiner in his day to day work, maybe a Cabinet Maker. Knocking up stud walls and even second fix trim is mostly done with nail guns and not a pilot hole in sight.
  6. Yeh, 15 to 20 tons sound about right looking at that size of Ram and of course depending on what pressure your system is running at. Just think, you could run it just as easily on a gx390 and save a fortune in fuel.
  7. All these supposed jobs, all these supposed contracts and all this supposed money gravitating to you yet you're still just a window cleaner.
  8. Improved? Trainspottings soundtrack was bangin'! Have you seen the state of music today? Its all gone downhill I tell ya.
  9. Unimaginable? The Tories have steadily been increasing in popularity in Scotland. They've taken the second spot off of Labour and all but wiped both Labour and the Lib Dems off the Map. Where we to see an increase in votes for the Tories come May and Sturgeon out on her arse then hopefully the broken record of Indi2 and re-joining the EU will be a dead duck. With some adults in change we'd maybe see Scotland start to prosper again and higher rate of tax we see here than there is in the rest of the UK will be addressed as its nothing more than pandering to the poor.
  10. Thats my thinking as well. But with the 2 stage pumps we see these days cycling times are much better even with low HP motors. Whilst a 10 second cycle time with my 6.5hp motor is not amazingly quick its fast enough for me to split my log, push it off the table, grab the next log and have the Ram back in position for the next one.
  11. Surprised to see you up so early after a night on the piss. Every country should have a strong opposition, we don’t have that in Scotland unfortunately. So the SNP get to steamroll their politics of greed and envy through at every election. Should it come as a surprise that the more affluent and some could argue more educated areas of Scotland vote Conservative? I dont think so. Could it suit the SNP to maintain the status quo and keep Scotland poor and nurture a strong victim mentality against the English and anyone who betters themselves? The SNP do not care about the Scottish people, they care only about remaining in power and with a high proportion of the Scottish people being poor, not paying tax and having a massive chip on their shoulders pandering to the lowest common denominator is the SNPs modus operandi. It will not lift Scotland up and is a race to the bottom. The only available option I can see in May is for the Tories to give the SNP’s a bloody nose. Maybe that would make them think twice about continually attacking those that actually pay tax here and maybe drop the broken record on Indi2.
  12. With a number of the old guard SNP Honch's withdrawing support for the current SNP Party hopefully it will make the older 40 year old generation think twice and ask themselves if blind support for the SNP is a good thing. Its happened in the North of England with the working class abandoning Labour as they no longer represent the average working man. Could this sentiment filter up north of the Border if the levels of corruption leveled at the SNP can be proved? Jim Sillars has accused Sturgeon of a grave breach of ministerial code. That in itself very telling. Sturgeon accused of ministerial code breach over Salmond verdict comments WWW.HERALDSCOTLAND.COM A FORMER SNP deputy leader has accused Nicola Sturgeon of a “grave” breach of the Scottish ministerial code after she... If this breach of ministerial code is proven in court then Sturgeon could be forced to resign. The leader of the Scottish Tory Party Douglas Ross certainly thinks she could be gone within weeks. Nicola Sturgeon could be gone in weeks over the Alex Salmond affair, says Scottish Tory leader WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK In an interview with The Telegraph, Douglas Ross said the saga had brought 'sleaze and scandal to the heart of Scottish... This would be a fitting reckoning in my opinion. The SNP getting a bloody nose and Sturgeon and her goon Husband out on their arse. Im not saying its going to pan out this way, but I can hope. Regardless, this much bad, but justifiable press against the SNP in the run up to the May election will potentially address the imbalance of power in Scotland and further expose the Tin Pot SNP for what they have become in recent years.

  14. I’m off to sleep now. 04:30 start then morn. Yes, the laws an ass. The SNP where and still are bigger arseholes though. Formally lead by a sex pest and now a poisoned dwarf with delusions of grandeur. A lot of former senior SNP figures are coming out to denounce the current line up for their very worrying leadership style. It’s not looking good for the SNP and hopefully they’ll get their reckoning. The
  15. What's the Cylinder ID? That and a maximum pressure output of say 2500psi-3000psi is the real answer here.
  16. He was acquitted and the SNP had to pay him IIRC? Bringing it up again is hardly the best distracting tactic in the world is it? But then he was the leader of the SNP and they're certainly not known for their intelligence so you could well be right.
  17. I dont really know, Im asking/musing more than anything. I imagine my 6.5hp is very much on the small side, but my 13hp GX390 with its 16gal/min two stage pump had a max output of 3000psi before the PRV kicked in. So if you had your 25hp motor bolted onto the side of the same 16 gal two stage would it add more force or just prematurely heat the oil but give you a faster cycle time than my gx390?
  18. I thought it was pressure x area = force? Hard to see but that cylinder cant be bigger than 5" can it? Does your hydraulic pump not have a maximum pressure rating? So between the pressure rating and the OD of the piston you'll have your tonnage, no? Id have thought the 25hp was irrelevant in force once the maximum operating pressure was achieved and would only benefit cycle times, s if a 6.5hp engine couldachievee say 2500psi it would have the same force, but be slower to operate? I can imagine the force required to push a gnarly log through a 6 way must be quite significant as well.
  19. Maybe he thinks its turned to Amber?
  20. Well, I guess we've finally found something we agree on. Just seemed odd to post that picture with no contect. Really not sure what the solution would be though? Now the cats out of the bag and more and more nations that hate everything about the West have the capabilities to make their own how could we then dismantle all the warheads in the West and expect them not to use them? Pandora's box (actually a jar) has been opened and I cant see a realistic way to put the contents back.
  21. Not sure if you're for or against that statement?
  22. I really hope this is her downfall. Horrid woman and horrific Party.
  23. Thought it was more like a Gremlin Dog thing.
