  1. Ive messed about with mine now Im home. Converting to a Single handed operation is fairly simple when you get your head around how this almost unique 2 handed operation works. Initially I followed what a lad from Rock Machinery suggested and that was to depress the left lever all the way down and drill a hole in the rod and pin in place. Clearly he never tried this out himself as the ram will extend but not retract. Next I removed everything from the left hand side and removed the adjusting bolt behind the right hand side handle, (pic below) but the cross bar connected directly to the Spool needs something to lever off of on the left hand side. So it was back on with all the gubbins on the left hand side. So, leave everything on the left hand side. I'll cut the handle off at a later stage, or make a bracket up to replace the handle. Remove the adjuster nut behind the right hand side handle and it will work with the single handle. I’ve removed all the other junk as well. The log lifter, the log lifter release handle and the log hook thing on the left hand side to keep the log in place. I’ll get a set of tables fabbed up at some point. I’ve had no issues splitting in the horizontal. The 4 way splitter works great, but is a bit slower than the single head. But still quicker than splitting twice. I think when I put some straight Birch and cherry through with the 4 way it will split nice and easy.

  3. Sorry edited my post. Just curious why you're milling such thick slabs?
  4. Why so thick slabs?
  5. Are you honestly trying to sat that these comments are not directed at the White population of the UK? They are inherently racist. It sets the tone for your entire point of view as carefully constructed as it is to be easily deniable for being inherently racist. It is an attack on innocent people bases solely on the colour of their skin. If that not is racism then nothing is.
  6. What? No there is not! What are you taking about?
  7. I disagree. I am angry, Im angry at the accusations you're making. If not to me personally to the 'white' population of the UK. I find it disgusting and utterly uncalled for. In my opinion its insidious and intentionally poisonous. If I where to make broad sweeping statements like you do to another race it would rightly be called out for being racist. Why should your comments be seen as anything else?
  8. oh right. . Well, i dont like the insinuations being leveled. being accused of being a racist, even by accentuation is insulting. hyper aggressive? OK
  9. Seems a waste of a perfectly good house? Was it built by jimmy or does it have history prior to him buying it? Do you think we should go around the country destroying property if a brief period of their existence was used for or by despicable people?
  10. A pedophile apologist? Why does this not surprise me. You're single right? I can see why now.
  11. Actually I am. What I'm not a fan of is the seemingly constant attack on white folks and the not so silent accusation they are inherently racist and its up to us to prove the contrary to appease a minority of misguided hate filled individuals. F&%k that and F%&k you.
  12. Do you hold the same views on pedophiles?
  13. For the benefit of all. Regardless of colour. not really. not more than has already been done. It happened, its over, no one alive is responsible or makes a profit off of it. if you find anyone who does go after them individually. good, then shut the **************** up. show me one living person that actually affects? No one, not one ****************ing person. this is pure and utter bullshit. Do you have an ounce of proof other than the colour of someones skin? **************** you and **************** your racism. it seems like you're the only babe here that see's colour. Seriously, you're ****************ing disgusting.
  14. No disagreement from me in this instance.
  15. She’s dead as well.
  16. How about you go take it up with him then? Oh that’s right! He’s long bloody dead!
  17. How about you stop talking in riddles then? If you can’t communicate your point easily and in simple terms you do not know your subject very well and all you’re doing is virtue signalling. Stop blaming others for your lack of clarity.
  18. Pathetic in the extreme.
  19. What does that even mean? Everyone I know understands our past. Better so than many countries. I am not responsible for the actions of a few rich men who died hundreds of years ago. I have never owned a slave. I have never sold a slave. Why not guilt trip north and west Africa? They where the ones capturing and selling to the the Arabs, other Blacks and Whites. Utterly delusional.
  20. White Privilege.
  21. No, I certainly do no support their cause here in the UK. Im not even sure I'd support it in the US either. Its a cause lead by racists and Black Supremacists and supported by White Apologists. I have no issues with them protesting peacefully and legally though. But even when asked to respect social distancing they refused to do so and resorted to violence and destruction their faces twisted with rage and hate and screaming into the police face. Like Dave I work with people of all colours, my brother.in-law is black.We all get along just fine. These protesters are full of hate and do not want solutions they want to vent their hate and anger and they are supported by delusional hand wringers. I disagree with all your other points. Terry Crews latest tweets sums it up for me, but of course he's being attacked for his valid POV by black racists.
  22. Great stuff! Thanks! I'll need to look into the pro's and cons of registering as a Small holding as I certainly wish to have a few animals in the future. Thanks for the heads up regarding living huts, ill see what I can dig up on-line. Recreational Huts and Building Standards: EIR release - gov.scot WWW.GOV.SCOT Information request and response under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004.

  23. There certainly is venom in my response to your asinine comment. You call what these animals are doing is simply a differing point of view. I would not care in the slightest if they wanted to pointlessly protest peacefully, even if they do so in extreme close proximity. But to collapse a Police Officers Lung? Intentionally hurting the Police Horses? The willful destruction and defacing of property. This is not the actions of people presenting an alternative point of view. This is the actions of thugs, nothing more. BLM are nothing but scum. So as long as these disgusting animals are going this in the cities, as long as no one is stopping them then peaceful families can congregate on the beach, or anywhere else for that mater.
