Not on Evergreen, but our Cyclone container 40ft due on Tuesday didn't even dock on Sunday - we heard on Monday that new delivery date is 17 August.....

Boat had changed course last minute and gone else where first.... ha it's still madness at moment.

Dare I say, there are lots of used machines on gumtree and other sites, or used machinery dealers if you prefer to have a guarantee.

I missed a real peach last week that went for peanuts but as it was all the way down in Cornwall, like a fool I ignored it.. may have to get upto speed with vfd’s as 3 phase stuff seems quite easy to find.

On Friday I went to view a bandsaw in a farmyard auction later that day. It had no power to it, so couldn't see it running. Wheel tyres perished, top guide bearings seized, 16.5mm max cutting height. Couldn't see a well known makers name, but did uncover the motor plate to find Elektra Beckum! There was a number 4404 (I think) on it, but the whole thing was covered in rust. I put a bid of £45 on it online thinking that was all it was worth. Believe me, it was caked in sawdust and hadn't been used for a long time. It went for £200!!! Talk about gobsmacked, people will buy anything, just to spend their money, or so it seems to me.
