Depends on what you're planning to do with it. If I was asked to cut timber which would be dried and planed to end up as 2x4 I'd cut it oversize by 1/4 inch but if its just going to be used as a rough sawn 2x4 then I'd cut it at exactly 2x4.

Spot on! When working as a joiner we would cut sawn timber to about 1/8"-1/4" oversize, this would allow us to straighten it when planing maybe a bit more if it was a really nasty grain.

Is it worth a read Andy?

Im still waiting on a response as to why packed supermarkets with no one wearing a mask in Norway does not see a sharp increase in cases.

Maybe the answer to this Andy is because Norwegians are probably a better quality of people compared to the absolute f#@kers who occupy these shores.

Stihl tongs

You shouldn't tell people to "Stihl tongs." You might get in trouble with the police!

A lad who works with me has called it Townie file for many years now

Couldn't agree with that lad more! Down our way we use to have a programme called countryways. That was a great series not like this city folk bull tripe nowadays.
