A large number are using Rotatech oil, and the many other brands listed in this discussion, with no problems. The only issue I've had with rotatech oil was a small sealed pot of it that I left some chains soaking in the garden outside, wasnt as sealed as I thought! After using the electric sharpener I was dunking/soaking them in diesel for a few days and then oil. The diesel probably had water in it. Rain got in, and the oil turned to a thick white emulsified gloop. I believe thats caused by the sticky additive for making it cling to the bar, reacts with water. I'd expect water might turn other chainsaw oils to gloop, perhaps something to test with several different brands. Anyway thats never caused an issue with my saws, I'd happily buy it again if the price were more competitive.

Don't hammer it or it will kick off. Sympathetic reduction and that's another £500.00 every two or three years for the books. Or hammer it and rinse them until one of you gets bored of the tree.

If you have electricity to your yard I would invest in motion cameras and an alarm system that notifies you whenever someone steps foot into your yard, and a security system that alerts a 3rd party. Someone needs to be alerted otherwise they have all the time on their hands to do whatever they need do to get past all of your padlocks, gates fences etc.

That's my line!

They look bloody good. Ebay might be an option as collection only or delivery for a fee, or the likes of Etsy, I've sold a few turned bits on Etsy. Other than that, getting word out via friends and family/work colleagues is another option, as well as the above local stuff

Hi folks As above. Just wondering if anyone mills sleepers near Chepstow, or knows a good source? I'd like larch for weight, decent longevity and hopefully lower price, but would consider other options. Not really after anything treated as I want it to last and not leach nasties into our herb patch. I need maybe 8 of 10 x 20 x 240cm. But could live with more shorter sleepers... What have you got?! Cheers.

Who buys Norway Spruce and Thuja in the Southwest?
Amarus replied to Paul73's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
If it is reasonable quality and quantity you could try John Jenkins at David James. Link to last year's auction: Just a moment... WWW.CHARTEREDSURVEYORS.DAVID-JAMES.CO.UK He could do with some support, to be honest. -

After a whole week of unnessasary stress.. the re-sent DPD ladder changed from "at depot", to "returning to sender". I sped off to rescue them, no time to find straps for the roof rack, they would have to fit in the car! Neither DPD or DX could give me any rational explaination. Got them home. Got the comical cardboard wrapping into the recycling. Its not perfect, theres a small dent on the top rung and the weld quality is hidden by the plastic covers. At 8 rungs its very stable. I'll find somewhere better and without sandles before I try 15 rungs, but it would give a working height near roof level of the average house.

Year . I got a couple of those . I call it a tap spanner so as not to confuse it with the tool for holding a tap to cut an internal thread . Also called a " tap wrench " 🙂

Can anyone recommend a manual tyre changing tool for small tyres?
woody paul replied to Muddy42's topic in Maintenance help
Never had a problem if a puncher needs mending anything from barrow to 38in tractor but just get company to fit new on truck and trailers., Went to have a ifor williams trailer tyre mended once and fitter said you can't do them with leavers, I said why so once he broke bead he handed me two leavers and said have ago, that was a challenge I was not going to miss. After about a couple of minutes tyre had parted from wheel and tyre fitter stood there shaking his head, he had set challenge to others and most only got one side off. -
I believe the issue is now sorted. Blocked jets being the cause. I took the fuel tank and top of the carb off, sprayed carb cleaner in all the holes and then used the airline to blow them through. The engine now idles and runs on maximum well. I'm yet to chip with it so the engine hasn't been loaded yet. But provisionally, I'd say issue is resolved.

Rifles you regret selling !! I guess most on here will have sold something then regretted it later. For me it was a Sako TRG 41 many years ago when 338 Lapua Magnum was a relatively new round. Bought it through a pal in Finland as a personal import. Super cheap at the time as the pound was strong against the Finnish mark, especially compared to GMKs price for one. Ammo was £56 for 20 back then. Sadly no pics but came across the paperwork whilst clearing out some crap recently. I often wonder if it’s out there still annoying the people on adjacent lanes as the muzzle blast was pretty fierce to say the least.
