Blimey! I had forgotten about those badges, I will try to find mine. Pete, at about the same moment as you posted about Mr Maskery, I was in screw fix nicking pencils 8)

Banter aside, are those of us who are going on Friday going to meet up? I will recognise Doug and the two Petes but not sure about you other folks

Quite right Doug, Worcester is pretty much in Wales innit? :wink:

Yep went up to Newark the other week. Granted I avoid times when poor people are going to work :D My stat nav always gets cross after wymerpool as it insists I am driving through fields.

Phil, Newark is in the middle of Lincolnshire ...... Miles from east Anglian It's at least dual carriageway all the way. Assuming you come up the m69 I think there are just 4 roundabouts all the way. You could alway move to the posher side of the Midlands :wink:

Park side is made in Germany and the Germans do not just pay lip service to standards ( although there is the Volkswagen Emission fiasco to blow my argument out of the water :roll: ). I used to teach vibration Awareness and did practicals with test meters vs feel. I used to take in my own angle...

I am a bit perplexed about the concept of cast iron flexing. I don't profess to be an expert on such matters, but can't see it myself on a big lump like a 5 with a little bit knocked out of it. Certainly I would not bin it, as sooner or later it's a donor.

I agree with your reasoning and have two "park side quality"ones so I can keep a wire cup brush fitted on one. I see no difference between them and more expensive makes HOWEVER, the OP wants one for work so he will need 110v as 240v is rarely (if ever) acceptable.

Bump for anyone who missed it.

Watching Scandi cop shows I wondered about this too. Assumed it's to do with pushing snow away from the threshold originally and now has become a done thing even in blocks of flats.

Glad to hear you are on the mend , John.

An apt quote of benchwayze: Personality and attitude can be confused. My personality is who I am; my attitude depends on yours.

I think he had sons who will be looking after him. He is quite a resourceful bloke.

What part of "I have had an accident" don't you comprehend?" I would guess John is not feeling too great at the moment and creating photos is not a priority.

Me too! Even the scraps will be of interest to pen turners. Can you give us a clue where you are? Rough postcode? I have a planned trip to Ipswich may/ June time

Rob, An axe (IMHO) does not have a wide enough taper. And anyway one wedge is no where near enough, as you just end up with the equivalent of the sword in the stone, which I guess is how you broke the shaft. Unless the lump was full of knots I would expect those logs to cleave through the...

If they had turned up at my place, I would have split the log down the centre. Just this action reduces drying splits by about 50% This is easy with a few wedges and a lump hammer. You can even make the wedges out of wood. I find this activity satisfies my inner caveman too :)

I may well go on the Friday too, Pete.
