  1. Sanding sealer is good but only on small pieces, A pva diluted mix is ok too 3part water to 1 part pva soak item in the mix over night and then let dry, Ronseal Wet Rot Hardener is another - The thinners used in the product is Acetone, and the rest of the ingredients are Ketone resins, used in many paint and varnish products. The product is not meant as a surface layer, it is meant to be absorbed into the wood so as the resins can strengthen the damaged timber. Only a few options but worth an experiment to see which one you prefere

  10. Shave horses are a combination of vice and workbench, used for green woodworking. A foot-actuated clamp holds the work piece securely against pulling forces, especially as when shaped with a drawknife or spokeshave. As the name "horse" suggests, the worker sits astride the shave horse. The clamp is operated by the operator pressing their feet onto a treadle bar below. Fantastic work by the way Cracker

  19. Before you know it there will be lots of humping and loads of them running about, then comes the damage and there noisey buggers too. I've done one before i waited for perrmission as tree had tpo and even then i was limited to what i could do. So trap them and remove might be easier as squirrels will just take a bigger run up.

  23. Can't see nothing wrong with just a trim, but if the council wants to get funny they will do the work themselves at charge a small fortune. I would tell them to sod off and tell them to widen the path It does sound like a lose lose situation at the mo, unless an apeal does work.
  24. I think if i remember the chains are for a 200t.
