    My Klima airs are getting knackered.I would like to get more than one year out of them,but the leather keeps comming off the Toes. Anyone used the Airstreams? The colour could be described as "Fetching" or even "Dashing" but hopefully won't be too bright too long.

    Here is what I do with Boots that need Wax to treat the Leather. Take the laces out on Friday night and put them on the window sill.You need to dry the boots properly before Waxing them.On the sunday eveing,put the Oven on "Bake" and set the themostat for 70deg C. When the oven is warm TURN IT OFF and then put your boots in for fifteen minutes.This warms up the leather and as you apply the Wax it will melt into the area between the Soles and the Rubber sole,as well as into the holes for the stitching. I treat my Klima Airs about evey month or so.They will let water in once the Wax comes out of them.No leather Boot withour some kind of lining is waterproof,its the Wax in the Pores of the Leather that keeps the water out.

    I do have really skinny legs. I knackered my knees.Once getting hit with a log in a yarder crew (dislocation of left knee),Ligament in the other from a fall when hunting in the mountains,and then impacted cartilage from a fall. I am far from the king of the Squat rack.

    We pay for a service here that takes up matters like this. It costs about £350 per year and gives you 90% of the bill up front.It may mean you lose 10% off the cost of a job that won't pay.However compared to leagle cost's and time spent on chasing money,I think it is a bargin.

    Thanks for taking the time to write that up and add pictures Dean.Things like that are what makes this site so valuable. I did the Bearings in my Jensen this year,with some help from Wood picker.

    We use their loppers and secaturs,good value for money.Their Secaturs last longer than the Sandvik ones we used and don't hurt the pocket so much when I lose them. Their Loppers with the Blade that cuts to an Anvil are very good,the model with the bi pass blade like some Secaturs are not really Contractor quality in my experiance.

    Nice one mate! Looks very tidy.

    Welcome to the Forum mate!

    Rate them highly. Can't pick the difference from Saturns product to the original Jensen ones.

    I made a similar "sculpture" this morning.Although smaller it would not have needed a Fence to keep people away from it.

    Also the grouser bars on tracked machines sink into Poplar Decks a little bit,makes a Dozer or Digger a little bit more stable on a Truck after its chained down. People back home have made decks and out buildings from Poplar for an age.It seems as though if its off the ground or inside cladding it does ok.
