Hi Raymond , :wave: :wave: .

Hi Waltron , no gravel here mate . The blue saw was purchased along with a panel saw back in 1976 during my Aprenticeship , cost me 1 1/2 weeks wages . The newish orange saw cost about 10 bucks and its used for surgury , they are disposable not like the Sandvik Saws.

Hi Island Breeze , thanks mate . The supervisor is always under foot checking things out .

Cheers Guys . Alpine

Yes the supervisor is always lurking behind the scenes . Now 1 of 5 , when the temps get too hot as forecast these will be buried , pots and all into the front grow beds as shade trees for the Tridents :lost:

The plan is to set layers on all 5 trunks again this season for a bit more material to look after .
