  1. Nice one:thumbup1: I dont really want to drill my ladder, but my thoughts of a design are along those lines. It would be to get flat steel bar with a hole in the center(possibly 3 or 4 of them), and you would screw coach bolts through it into the log and the flat bar would spread along the ladder from one rung to another. This way, the clamps can be placed anywhere on the ladder, and you are not restricted to where the holes are. Also, weld extensions onto the heads of the coach screws to make them like wing nuts that can be screwed in by hand. Obviously, these would need to be kept low to keep below the straight edge of the ladder.
  2. Shouldnt the answer be more dependant upon make/model of machine:confused1:
  3. Ok, the way it was explained to me when trying to claim medical expences following ailments/injuries at work, is, any benifit achieved from such treatment would not be just in your work. It would also enhance parts of your private life, therefore not solely connected to the business. So in short, you shouldnt be able to offset any form of rehab.
  4. Bump! Another 10 days has passed Paul, perhaps you can give us some feedback?
  5. With that mentallity, you will never earn a good living, retire early, be able to replace kit as needed, afford to have two months off if you are ill, etc, etc. You will cover costs and earn a wage, but never have time to scratch your arse. Sorry its a bit harsh, but one day you will reflect and say "you know what, that big daft bloke on arbtalk said i would end up like this" You are also one of the reasons prices are constantly driven down in some areas, but thats another post!
  6. Just wondering about your thoughts on parts such as this on t-bay; HUSQVARNA 288 CYLINDER AND PISTON ASSEMBLY on eBay (end time 13-May-10 20:25:13 BST) I know a few of you on here use this particular seller for consumables and i understand he is recommended, but what about the larger engine parts such as this pot and piston?
  7. For all those using WD40, try using GT85. It has silicone in it so when it dries out (like WD does a bit) it will leave a silicone coating that continues to lubricate.
  8. Should medical treatment costs following an accident be claimed from the insurance company, not offset against tax:sneaky2:
  9. Dont worry FRANK, it is bank holiday:thumbup: Just had a quick look for you, found just the thing that will help keep you cool while climbing in summer. You will also look cool too as i know you are image conscious Pink Beaded Beach Flipflops on eBay (end time 03-May-10 11:05:37 BST)

    Real nice pics Bart:thumbup1: Seen the same thing myself today at my Dads, didnt have the camera with me though:thumbdown: Even got a telling off by the mother for getting a bit too close, still a nice sight to see:thumbup:
  11. Jonathan, bit of a derail here, but is the kiln just for planks, or do you put the odd batch of firewood through to make good use of it? Just being nosey:blushing: Pete.
  12. According to Dean, it would depend if he'd been there first:scared1:
  13. Maybe Kev only has three or four transactions per year:confused1:
  14. Sounds like your problems was, before you "mended" them, there wasnt much oil left to leak out:sneaky2: Now you have topped em up, out it comes! The grease wont come out as quick, but it will still find its way out slowly. At least you wont leave embarrasing pools everywhere:blushing:
  15. Thats a strange comment, where did you hear that from? Reason i ask is, lrseries are Britpart agents. If you buy from them you either get Britpart or genuine LR.
  16. Very good points Jonathan. I have heard of people when milling having a second person pulling the mill with a rope. Guess they will need a steady hand. This was something i was going to start a thread about. I am still nailing a ladder to the log and bending the nails over the rungs! Very crude but i intend to do my own little invention soon, still using the ladder but if it works i shall be happy to share, and will do a seperate thread about it.
  17. They allow drugs in your college?
  18. Real nice vid FRANK, good find. Cheers for sharing. As for anyone fancying doing that type of work nowadays, i couldn't see anyone born after 1980 being upto it:001_tt2:
  19. You must have worked fast then Darr, (theres always a first) to get it edited before the edit function timed out:001_rolleyes: So, back on thread then eh, can go back and watch it now! Lol!
  20. Now i can see how the iphone changed your life..................its confused you even more:lol:
  21. Might wanna try that agian young 'un:confused1:
  22. Cheers for that Jonathan, I'll give it a try:thumbup1:
