Well that's 40 seconds of my life I'm never getting back. The most accurate word in the title and subject is "taint".

There's just no faking the love she clearly has for the man. More quibbles over dictionary definitions available if anyone is interested:

I don't get it.

Spain and Portugal power outage live: no signs of cyber-attack, says EU, but ‘impossible’ to know when electricity will be restored | World news | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM European Council president rules out cyber attack but Portuguese grid operator says it does not know when... No power at all in Spain and most of Portugal... that's interesting! "No signs of cyber attack", they say, but of course it's tempting to point the finger at Russia, isn't it? Maybe this'll have to be moved to the Ukraine thread after a while. Anyone heard anything?

Useful stuff, cheers. I'll look for cleanest lengths then. It had competition all right, long established ash beech and oak on all sides. So hopefully it'll yield some good straight sections.

Very exciting. Just walking the dogs around a forest I've not been in since pre-Eowyn, and I've found this yew tree. Photo attached, dogs for scale. I'm definitely going to snip a bit of this off for making a longbow or two. I wonder, is lower down the stem preferred, or thick enough from higher up?Can anyone recommend any good resources online for longbow making? To Google!

Speaking of which… Donald Trump demands investigations into negative approval rating polls WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM Trump has said pollsters that have shown his approval ratings sliding in recent weeks should be investigated... He's also instructed the FBI to conduct an investigation to find out who shat in his pants.

Very thorough, you get all 5 points. Cheers.

If the damage is ankle-height it's probably a strimmer injury. Nothing you can do really, try to minimise moisture availability and it could help slow down the rot, might deter some creepy crawlies. How tall is the tree now, and is it close to anything valuable?
-
That sort of damage at an early age... tricky to imagine it winning that battle long-term. Leave it in and cross your fingers though, it's not a big problem to solve yet.

Outstanding work fellas. Great carpentry skills on display. You all fell into the wrong vocation. I need to build a pull-out draw for the back of the jeep.

Well if we are here to learn things, does the reconsidered cut after deciding against that first step cut have a name, not even a minute in to the video? V cut? Please outline your reasoning behind using it instead of an inboard step cut in this situation specifically, and suggest three positives, negatives, or otherwise differences between the two for usage in general. Five points available.

Well yeah, when you put it like that it doesn't sound so bad.

If you don't check whether or not it's ash, there'll be less of it around, and you won't need the vaccine! It's simple f*cking maths!

Her tweet from 2019. So... that's interesting. Edit: I can't help but wonder... where was JD Vance when all this went down?

Pope's funeral. Now, I'm not exactly a stickler for tradition... but...

Are you saying these trees died of autism?

Both ideas with much greater mileage than the cone yoke. Cheers.

Makes life interesting, for sure. Keeps the groundies on their toes! Yeah, looks good. Out of stock with Douglas Forest and Garden now, I'm keeping it in reserve to pip me above the free postage minimum at some point in the future. I have the little stackable wedges from Notch, handy to have. If going the all natural route... I've carved a wedge at height from a branch stub a few times, them auld long-dead spruce limbs are surprisingly tough.

Thanks for that. Probably the same reason it's reduced from 65e to 50e!

Will do skip, thanks for the professional advice 👍
