Following a trek up the A14 this morning I am now the proud owner of a new (to me) 6×4 bandsaw, plus a number of spare blades:

Naturally I've tried it out, on 1¼" diameter EN3B. Went through with a nice clean cut more than an order of magnitude faster than the old donkey saw. I'm beginning to think the donkey saw was more of an ass. So far I'm a happy bunny.
It's been quite a while since I've been up the A14 to the M1/M6 junction by car, and I'm pleased to say that the junction is now what it should have been before the dummies in the DoT interfered. Vis, if you're on the A14 you carry straight on to the M6 with no junction on a dual carriageway, and vice versa. No more stupid single lane traffic and tiddly roundabouts and chaos if you get into the wrong lane at the wrong time.
