If we had started reducing oil consumption and switching to a zero emissions culture in the 1970s then we might have had a chance of stopping abrupt and irreversible climate change. But the oil companies didn't want us to, & it was all about making money. We will soon discover that the North...

Or its too complicated. It's really sad when people make such a lame. Considering some of the complicated & bizarre conspiracy theories I see preppers on YouTube going on about & they seem to be parroting that Yaxley-Lenon bloke.

The science, physics and math, does not agree that the carbon cycle can absorb additional geologic CO2 Coal & oil released from burning fossil hydrocarbons. I don't want to sound patronising, but the science is complex & it's impacts are too. I have had other people tell me I'm too complicated...

On green wood?

The thing is they aren't really designed for going into the end grain and augers are better on green wood than dry wood. For dry wood I use Forstner bits. Are you using green wood or seasoned (kiln dried)? For chair bodging, ideally you want to put a dry tenon in a wet mortise.
