  1. http://www.saynoto0870.com/ my dad just told me about this site. it helps find alternative numbers for customer services....avoids paying charges in long queues....could be useful.
  2. the problem with hob nobs is you have to eat a whole packet at a time, then you feel sick
  3. they're ok, i still prefer bourbons though!
  4. you really need to stick at that arbor...you'll get the hang of it soon enough
  5. This has been requested several times in the past, apologies for being a little tardy opening it up:icon14:
  6. obviously plenty people disagree with you there!
  7. there are a couple of americans i know who have them and swear by them....never used one personally, but if you're comparing to one of the smaller grinders they seem to generally get the thumbs up....then of course theres the fact that you can take them literally anywhere!
  8. any saw that cuts out that much is simply set wrong. both husky and stihl make great saws...i have different favorites within each power range.
  9. hmmm and where might i get one of them?
  10. I've had my eye on these units for the past few years, havent really heard from anyone if they are actually any good or not....has anyone got anything like this? http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9284750&fh_view_size=6&fh_start_index=12&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=alarm&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1211999390776&isSearch=true Andy's incident has made me focus my attention more towards my security.
  11. sorry mate...where was it stolen from?
  12. patchwork, it matters mate:icon14:
  13. its not the issue of it making the wood weaker that concerns me with chestnut, its more wether the wood is strong enough to hold it in the first place.
  14. well considering i get about 50% of my work from this client thats not an option......i dont think it does any damage to the tree, just not an ideal choice for the wood thats all.
  15. chestnut is one tree i dont like to use invasive bracing on.......did some just the other week, couldnt talk the customer into gefa bracing.
  16. it always matters where they drop
  17. well dont be surprised if they say no! no one likes splicing old ropes as far as i can tell. and from an outsiders viewpoint, i think they like to get through as many splices as possible at these events....i guess old splices would slow their progress.
  18. havent tried, but its a nice light saw, so providing your positioning is ok and you're always using 2 hands i dont see a problem.
  19. i have a firewood processor, 50% of my stock is surgery waste and it manages it ok.
