  1. Past hour
  2. Always found it cheaper to buy a new saw rather than rebuild cutoff saws just get too much abuse
  3. Sorry to be a pain , but have you got the right legislation there? 1986 Act only allowed for restocking on conviction.
  4. I don't know because I didn't get a gun of my own ( a webley and scott bolt action .410) till about 72 and I cannot remember how I got the licence but it didn't involve having to see a policeman.
  5. Just been into a site today no certs required for tracked loader or carrier if you don’t sit on it with a seat belt if you stand up it’s a wheelbarrow thats not to say shouldn’t have some training we sent the manual for mine to our local training company, they came out and we spent a afternoon showing them how to use it, they then gave us a certificate
  6. The phrase "simmering resentment" comes to mind. No-one likes a freeloader.
  7. Today
  8. That's beautiful - well done!
  9. Got any Os . What garden Os , pantie Os ? No letter Os for me gate . Mon Repose .
  10. From what I've read it's Charlie Kray's stepson who is selling them off after his mother died, might take a mooch over to the auction, not that I'll buy anything.
  11. Versatility and taking away a hassle for others to learn the software - always a good thng
  12. misleading 🙄
  13. They tried that. I guess hampered by what was in power at the time to work with.
  14. There is nothing wrong with being content in life, and if pottering around grafting on the ground is it, then go for it.
  15. It’s about as basic a concept as you can get, it helps reduce our impact on trees and is important for minimising wear on climbing ropes and improves the consistency of systems. In the real world their not optional for moving systems, so get used to em now…
  16. Leeks. They're nice just fried up with some cabbage, like onions but sweeter. Even nicer with some lardons or pancetta added as well.
  17. Rocked it today, along with Mark and Doug. Good start helped. Wordle 1,514 2/6* ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. An impact wrench with 500nm of torque will stop turning a big auger long before a drill with 250nm. Impact wrenches provide jolts of peak torque to fulfil their design function of loosening or tightening a machine thread. All that happens when you stick an auger on them is that the tensile strength of the wood fibres absorbs the jolt of toque and the auger fails to advance any further. Impact drivers are use to drive screws into wood, yes, but the purpose of the jolts of torque there is to prevent cam out- where the driver bit slips in the head. Driver bits with a positive lock on the fiuxing head (such as timberlocks with their hex head) do not require an impact driver and will in fact drive far faster with the sustained torque offered by a drill. I must have explained this a dozen times over the years on here, and yet still people just can't grasp such a simple fact. A long arm brace on a quality drill allows you to impact far more torque into a wood thread or auger bit than you ever could with an impact gun.
  19. I was more lucky, when in the market for a 50cc ish saw 15 years ago the chap persuaded me to spend the bit extra and get the 261. Still got it.
  20. Morning all, Looking hot. Water water.
  21. Yesterday
  22. Migrant in taxpayer-funded London hotel accused of strangling 20-year-old woman APPLE.NEWS In London, a 26-year-old asylum seeker staying at the Thistle City Barbican hotel was arrested on... 🤷‍♂️
  23. Thanks for the response, what vehicle are you using? I'm fairly confident I can make it fit but I don't know anyone near by with a similar size grinder to try out for size I thought tie down points would be the best option, ill enquire with the chaps that did my tipper conversion

    MEWP

    Its a little bit of a get area but I've got climbing with a saw and the IPAF ticket and I'm confident I've got all bases covered
  25. The wasvan entec tree buster , on FB recently, very capable machine at 700 pounds will eat 4 inch all day , gravity fed
  26. Just more decent, steady tree work from a guy who shows it nicely. Particular good section on lifting rigs from 7-15 minutes.
