    Default One lucky lamp post.

    When it's not your time, it's not your time.

    Move to post #4 for proper pictures!

    It could not have got any closer to the action with out being zapped


    Posted in nothing to do with woodwork as the only wood is lying down having a rest.

    I do not know what is going on with the pictures, the method of adding files has changed and my pictures just disappeared after uploading the first 2 tries, I then uploaded them one at a time and it worked, then when I submitted I found I had lost connection and had to log in again and retype the last couple of lines that the auto save had missed.
    What I am saying you are lucky to get the post at all, but I think the pictures are worth a look even if they are a bit of a mess around.
    Regards

    Fixed in post #4

    'Tis all good now.



    (I don't s'pose you know whether that light fitting is bayonet or screw mount? Just so I know what adapter to bring tonight for my "stealth" 'leccy chainsaw... )

    Yes I had trouble with uploading pictures about the same time this morning. I got mine to load eventually too. Hopefully it's sorted now.
    A lucky pole indeed!

    Wasn't it the actor,Buster Keeton, (silent movie days) his trade mark was to stop in front of a 2 story house to light a cigarette and while he was engrossed in lighting up the front skin of the wall falls forward seemingly to squash him but he is actually standing where there is an open window, leaving him untouched
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Yes just loaded photos in another post and almost gave up, you now have to do more to load them.

    Now where's the photos of the chainsaw work you did on the root ball and trunk?

    My Jack Russells and I have just been for our afternoon walk, and they have chainsawed enough to clear the path. The wood does not look any good for anything else than the intended mulching and fire wood.

    Well I wouldn't guarantee that, after it has cured in the wood pile, you wouldn't find a gem of a pen blank.

    Well it's luck ran out. Yesterday they craned the stump away and broke the diffuser and bulb and bent the cap.
