I dream of a sheets loader for MM...

Have you seen how they sometimes get all the logs in a bundle lined up? They get the bundle swinging from side to side, then at furthest swing when the logs are about vertical they bump the ends on the ground.

Ken, you talk like an older man ;)

Lex Thu 20 October 2011 02:58

Ken, sometimes I battle loading the heavy sheets on the mm.
Last weekend the wife had to help and we nearly did not get it high enought to put it on the table. She was not to happy with me!:(

Gerald, I watch a lot of those triwheeler drivers. Like you say, they do everything with a build in "ritme".

30mm MDF 4'x8' full sheets are killing me... & it did killed my vacuum gauge...

Gerald

Did a lot of cars get damaged?

We had a hail storm here back in the 80's. The hail was not that large but it damaged a lot of cars. About a month later after every one got their cars fixed, there was another hail storm and many of the same cars got damaged.

Hi Nils, a lot of cars were definitely damaged. Also crops, plastic over crops, plant nurseries, etc. Johannesburg has a reputation for its hailstorms but this one was fairly bad. The area affected by the really big stones was quite small, so it hasn't gotten much coverage in the local news.
