  1. Past hour
  2. Husqvarna 550xp Manual gives saw chain speed at maximum engine power as 19.6m/s, s, so Class 1 PPE would be totally adequate. Other factors in a Risk Assessment might include the likelihood of increased fatigue or overheating from higher class, heavier PPE, justifying a lower class.
  3. Nice one Stubby, knees down mother Brown😳. Do you still have the blade?
  4. Today
  5. I was staying in Leith!
  6. Hmmm, wonder what JD Vance has been up to this week. Sticking it to Trump perhaps in subtle ways - good luck with that Trump is to narcissistic to take the hint.
  7. Hi guys. Just checking that I can use this 5w-30 Fully Synthetic oil in the Forst st6p Vanguard engine Shell Helix Ultra PRO AF 5W-30 5L | Halfords UK WWW.HALFORDS.COM Shop the latest Experience unrivalled performance and engine protection with Shell's range of engine oils and lubricants...
  8. I should do - just too cowardly to get on and do it
  9. Tuna, sweetcorn, pepper, onion, tomatoes, celery and rice with a dollop of mayonnaise! Had this since I was a kid but mine rate it at the same level of sprouts or my legendary chicken chunder!
  10. And once you have poured it in and rolled the tank about to coat the inside pour it back in the tin seal it up and keep it for the next tank. It says on the tin to bin it but I have used part tins several times, it's just real hard, fuel resistant paint you could use it anywhere.
  11. No thanks, that got turned off in less than half a second.
  12. Did this get solved? I’m having the same issue. Occasionally a small drop of the saw will cause the intake pipe/boot to pull away from the carb. I have replaced all springs but I’m unsure if there isn’t something else I’m missing as there is a fair bit of play at the rear of the saw. It’s hard with no other saw to reference from.
  13. i have a Stihl 2 in one sharpener. of late the price for the files just keeps going up. The files are peculiar to stihl, so i am stuck, not being able to shop around. Radmore and Tucker say that , you get about 8 sharpenings to the chain. This is getting pricey. The flat box file is stupidly pricey. i am now considering an electric sharpener. i am hoping that i do not get conned into buying a chinese knock off. afterall sharpening, is a precision operation. yet with this stihl cutomer services talk out of thier backside, resulting in wasting your time. Oregon, on the other hand, are quite helpful, so i am looking into getting one of thier sharpeners. i have a Stihl 120 battery saw. with a 1/4' pico chain. Oregon sharpeners are presently ticking the boxes for me. Yet having one of thiers could be time-consuming, getting to learn how to get it down to an art. The discs are a separate issue. maintaining/dressing the disc. Then changing the discs to address the rakers. Then the chain has to be cleaned before sharpening takes place, the thing is. dealers do not know anything. the onus is on the user
  14. A picture of some. Other saws to add are husqvarnas 357xp 346xp 61 345and another Echo. Picture is of modified 362xp to a 372xp.
  15. That's enough wine for the rest of the year nearly!
  16. keep the woodchipper running then, eh.
  17. This one’s brilliant too!

  20. As above. You could try adding some water saving crystals into the hanging basket soil next year. That'll help.
  21. Point of lay is around 21 weeks
  22. I have waste wood offcuts from kindling manufacture . I can’t store enough to fill an arctic and if I did it would be once a year . I can store enough to fill a high sided tipping trailer and bring it to you . We are based in Andover would need to do the maths . Bring to you for a few quid verses paying local to dispose .
  23. Yesterday
  24. Not much brains needed to spot that
  25. If they fold though I am thinking the new owner would have to pick up the debts - the receivers will then own all the assets to be sold off to the highest bidders? Still going to cost a fortune either way
  26. Edinburgh, Tenement, Top floor flat - immediately makes me think of the film Shallow Grave. OP - dehumidifier is probably the way to go.
  27. Done. Good shout mate. A friend of mine at work arranged to have a representative come in to give us a talk about their work a couple of years back. They deserve and need all the pennies they can get.
