Properties of a good knot. Easy to tie. Easy to untie. Doesn't damage the rope. Serves its purpose. That's what I was taught, anyway

Hi. No. Not with arborisk, anyway. When I was looking, one company offered a policy which related to the amount of earnings. If you don't mind handing your books over and other information they are asking for. I stayed with arborisk in the end. Its due again soon, haven't had the renewal quote yet, so I may be looking into it again shortly. I take it you're in a similar situation. Let me know if you find anything and I'll do the same 👍

Just had a look at them. Do you climb/spike in them?

You've had a staged reduction, even if you didn't realise it. This might be recommended, although the jury is out on whether there is any benefit in most situations. Take the rest down without worrying too much. If you want to exercise extra caution leave 12 months before starting the build. Now, back to the jacuzzi. The most common question asked on here is 'any pics?'

Correct gauged chain for the bar? There can be .3mm difference. Will run when cold, but not when friction heats it up

Hi . Think this has been asked before. It might've actually been me asking it. Can you straight swap stihl hs82 rc and hs82t blades? Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I've just had the moisture meter on it reading aprox 39%. Any idea what live elm, cut at this time of year would read? I think you're right, patience needed.

Surely they are classed as part of the rodent population!

Not great pics, I'm afraid

Thanks squaredy

Hi. I have milled a bit of elm. It's not something I usually do. It was dead standing for about 18 months. I've cut it in 3" slabs. Plan is for a chunky coffee table. How long drying before I can use it? I'm hoping it's not the inch/year rule. 3.5 ft lengths, if that makes any difference. It will be outside, covered with reasonable airflow. Thanks

I decided a long time ago to not have any small tool insurance. I put a bit aside, and spend a bit extra on security. Fortunately, in 30 years I've only lost 4 saws to theft, and I blame myself for the incident

Why do people pay insurance companies and then not claim for the reason they have been paying them?
