  1. And does he manage to find the time to carry out this additional burden that clearly happens year in year out within his normal working hours?
  2. Take AJ up on his offer then? Easy enough to post.
  3. Did you check out this page Dave? I find it very handy; Angelim vermelho | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwood) WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Jarrah | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Hardwood) WWW.WOOD-DATABASE.COM Looks like Steve is spot on.
  4. Well, its certainly one opinion.
  5. Only because thats the corner you and a few others have painted him into.
  6. As I mentioned, its a hobby and a tradition to them. That day they did not catch a fox, but surely over all they do. As I mentioned, its a hobby and a tradition to them. And it keeps a lot of locals employed in traditional jobs. If they wish to spend substantially more money maintaining fox numbers this way and keep quite a few more folk in a job then great. All this uneconomical expenditure is being pumped back into the local economy. And all this extra work potentially keeps him in a full time job. Its like the Shopping Trollie guys complaining folk dont put their shopping trollies away. If they did he's be out of a job.
  7. Absolutely. I'll just call a spade a spade. You guys are just doing the same thing with a different veneer. Same same but different, but still the same.
  8. Me neither, once they start to whip someone there is simply nothing you can say or do to stop that. They'll just turn every single thing you type now against you. I dont understand the logic at all.
  9. Not many hobby's make you money. Is it uneconomical though? Its privately funded, its generating local income, it does keep Fox numbers down and off of the tax payers back. I dont like Fox Hunting though.
  10. I find that a very unfair comparison. But sticking with your analogy its would be more akin to a rapist sentence increasing and that in turn bringing up the sentences for sexual assault.
  11. Who paid that cost? Did anything happen to the guy?
  12. Oh oh, you'll have Micks panties all bunched up getting that slightly wrong.
  13. I think that’s why mine cost so much. It’s all plated up.
  14. I'm planning on resawing some well seasoned 5" Ash slabs in half. Guess I'll have to up my sharpening game if I wanna get through the full length of them.
  15. Its not something I particularly like the look of to be honest. There is some cracking examples but I do wonder when the fad will pass. But I guess you'd not be making it for yourself but for the customer and if they like it great! I prefer the tables that have the river look but have a shaped glass top like the picture below. If anyone knows how or where to get the glass shaped like this please share.
  16. He's making the point that he does not want to skimp on the oil for the Mill like he would normally do in an old car. Do keep up.
  17. You don’t say? [emoji849]
  18. You need to start using a winch.
  19. Eeek, no wonder it’s buggered. I’d be changing them out ASAP and putting this down to an embarrassing lesson learned.
  20. Id suspect that after 2 years only the sapwood will have started to rot. As for how to deal with them for firewood. If transportation to a desired location is not posible then split them with a Splitting Maul (axe) insitu, or hire a petrol towable log splitter, preferably a vertical one due to the rounds size, or pay someone to come in a do the job for you.
  21. There is the oil you get at IKEA they sell for oiling their chopping boards. It’s fairly cheap. It’s a white mineral oil I believe? I’d avoid oils like Olive and sunflower as they (supposedly ) go rancid. I’d use Danish Oil (again! ?) there is an even more food safe version just for this. Danish Oil 500ml - Voc Free and no toxins -Chopping Boards and Internal Woodwork: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Great prices on your favourite Home brands, and free delivery on eligible orders.
  22. Slight whiff of sexisim there Eggy Lad.
  23. I’d hate to think. ?
  24. She should certainly be reprimanded. Written warning maybe? Sacked? No. Again, as loathed as I am to get Micks panties all bunched up again perhaps she should face the same discipline as Corybn did? Sacked and then getting her old job back within 3 months?
  25. Don’t be ridiculous.
