Built a bit tougher in Aberdeen than The Heads of the Valleys I'll assume. Being the 'Top Chippy' that you often claim to be Leslie its surprising how you've yet to post a single project you've built yourself other than a plank of wood you where sanding. Oh, and the images you ripped off the internet and claimed where yours.

Will do. Pentland Livestock Limited WWW.PENTLANDLIVESTOCK.CO.UK Pentland Livestock Limited specialises in all aspects of the livestock trade, from working with farmers on a daily basis to... Maybe worth signing up to their news letters? I think the auctions are all on-line just now, but even when they are back up and running with folk actually turning up you can place a proxy bid anyway.

Its all such a farce.

If I was gonna be cutting tenons on a Bandsaw I agree with Woodworks and Id be looking for an old Cast Iron one from the auctions. They are always at my local auction, which to be honest has folk coming all the way from Inverness to attend. Have you tried cutting them on your Woodland? Its a bit of a faf but I cut the tenons for my 8" beams for my log deck on my Mill and it worked well. The shorter pieces where tricky but I used two scaff boards to house them as they where shorter than the bunks and I used a set of Vice Grips to set up a stop so the cut was the same length each time. I did all the cheeks at one depth as it was just a Log Deck but where I to do them properly I think Id cut all the cheeks at one depth then readjust the height and do the shallower cuts after. Unless you're planning on doing tenons on a regular basis its a lot of money to spend. I bought this Metabo Bandsaw in the package I bought from London. As the reviews where good and it had a fence etc I gave my old one to a friend. I wish I never now as this Metabo is quite crap and under powered. As others have said, it struggles with 2x4". 2" dried Oak seems to make it struggle to the point of stopping and having to back back out the cut a fraction. And thats with a brand new blade. http://www.tools-warehouse.co.uk/METABO-BAS-317-BANDSAW-PRECISION-PACKAGE-240-VOL/product/TB2740/19019750/

Im paying £65 a ton for Milling Grade Larch just now. No vat and delivered at 5t at time. Even placed on my log deck for that. Ive seen Arctic Loads for £75 though.

Its just madness, it really is. But the majority are lapping it up like soup. Its worrying how many are so blinkered and fail to see the bigger picture here. All they can think about is 'keeping safe'. The powers that be must be laughing their arses off at us. Next time around we'll be that much easily cowed and we'll welcome the draconian measures with open arms.

Im sure you'll fab something up no bother. I'll get you some close up's when Im home next. The rubber wheels securing bolt is secured in a slot thats also at about a 45 degree angle. So you can enter the bolt into the slot and then bring the rubber wheel up snug to the bar it rides along then tighten in place. Im still in quarantine yes. Will be free on Friday night. Was gonna get the second Swab Test done tomorrow but my boss said forget it as Equinor wont allow anyone to travel under the 10 days quarantine regardless if they have two good tests. So Ive just gotta wait it out. Weather picking up then? We've had a few cracking days this week and the next couple are still looking good here. Must drive some of the lads crazy being in port and canny get off the boat and grab a beer.

Im not home just now. The Red arrow is the regular wheels the head rolls on. The green arrow is the rubber wheels that 'clamp' the saw head to the tracks. You can see the angled bar the rubber wheels roll along hopefully?

Bed time for me too.

Barefoot literally keeps you on your toes. And if it does not, well, it certainly wont a second time. Maybe flipflops are are actually the future? Certainly explains why they are so commonplace in the far East.

I certainly dont, but Id sooner have them than not. And I dont allow them to give me an false sense of security either. But neither would I advocate having zero PPE based on the fact having some protection can give you a certain sense of bravado.

Its coming. A global government is coming if we like it or not. Giving up any sense of national identity has to be one of the first traits to go. Only once national identity is erased can we truly move towards a global society. How do you eradicate national or more specifically a community identity? An uncontrolled and unwanted mass migration. Such is the force these days we cannot even question the influx of illegal immigration without being branded a racist. We just have to accept it unquestioningly and maybe have a wee grumble with those we are closest to knowing that such thoughts will go no further. As Mark Renton put it; It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****************ing difference.:D

I think you've made a career out of doing just so.

What about India, China or Pakistan? Cherry picking the lest advance 3rd world countries is akin to putting your fingers in your ears and screaming 'la la la'. Clearly you know its happening so you chose three of the lowest polluters to try and prove some point. But all you've proven is the exception proves the rule.

The thing is we dont need to in the West. Our demographics is ever shrinking. Its absolutely futile even mentioning it though. It will be laughed off till its obviously to late.

Im very sensitive sweet cheeks. Now tell Daddy some more about that Beast of a Saw you inherited Big Boy.

To promote compliance? To break down national identity? To eradicate the cohesion of a close, local society. If there is no longer any race and we're all 'brown' then finally the world leaders will get their obedient slaves and finally gain a world government. Its happening and its expediting an an astonishing rate. Its not something we can possibly win. Its one of the reasons I'll keep receding into the heartlands of the Scottish highlands that I grew up with. Its a very slow tiptoe though. To argue the toss you're as well arguing with Frogs placed in warm water who slowly get boiled to death.

Dont ask for advice and then slap the face of those offering it a few minutes later.

Well, its better than flip-flops. You're right its not the best advice for a novice. I should maybe retract that. Yip, I get that,.

Thats a fair saw right enough. No, wearing flip flops and shorts is not alright. You'll not win any Bill Big Balls prizes here for that attitude either. Dont worry about my concern, thats ended. Now Im looking forward to seeing the vids of you cutting your foot off to be honest.

Thats the simplistic, knee jerk reaction expected of all the plebs on earth. The reality is we do need a cleansing. We do need to limit how we reproduce on a global scale. In the UK and generally in the west we're reducing in population, but general we're exploding exponentially. This needs curbed. No deaths are needed. Just common sense and a strick law enforcement over a few generations.

Well this is it. Humanity really does need a culling. But to think that the man advocating it and potentially funding it and also funding a spurious vaccination? Fark that.

I dont know? I'll assume a shed load of 3rd world countries have done so too. Either through indifference or an inability to to do more. But having a 1st world country of such prominence say 'feck it' we'll do our own thing, within the heart of the EU and slowly but surely showing vastly superior (subjective) signs of combating this BS virus is to me and I'll guess a lot of other people quite encouraging. Ive said from the very start its a crock of sheet. Ive always said I'll try my best to catch it. I have done. I knew for a fact many would say it means nothing. Nothing will convince these scares little sheep to come out from behind their sofa. And that would be fine if the rest of us do not have to pick up their tax tab.

If both is the powered lift still engaged? Maybe the solenoid is sticky and needs removed/backed off?

Yes please! Im not insured as I dont actually have a business, it just do this for fun. But the beer tokens are slowly turning into wrist slapping territory.
