  1. Obviously you've checked your tyre pressures ? ☺
  2. Roll a ring kiln in and carry nice light charcoal out ? :-)
  3. I've been there, in the moment of crisis everything slows right down and gives you time to react. Didn't happen in tree work , but the knowledge that a fall from height would feel like an awful long time makes me careful ;-)
  4. Temporary posts up against the hedge , string the wire up , knock in the permanent posts and transfer the wire over ?
  5. Thin discs are probably one of the wonders of the modern world, along with the miracle of the mag drill A plasma cutter and a good welding set opens the fabricacation horizons wide
  6. A bit far for me. More storage capacity is a good plan though. Looked them up now ...... Nationwide :-)
  7. That's what I thought Jon , white is cheaper. Best I speak to my friendly farmer or local mariner
  8. Quoted £1.15 / litre today to fill a 200 litre drum
  9. The Three Crowns doesn't really count does it ?
  10. Running a bead of weld round the race is often quick and effective for removing bearing outers from blind housings
  11. You'd have to be cautious repairing a chin strap as they are supposed to break before your neck does.
  12. It would be a good idea to make sure that you're not running radials on the front with cross plys on the back.
  13. H.S.E. Rigging research 668 , well worth a read
  14. Leylandii works for me too
  15. Interesting post Hope it is not too rude to comment on the L.O.L.E.R. aspect. Using rigging kit as part of p.p.e. interests me. I'm told that riding the hook of a crane & using a materials handler with a basket is acceptable as long as the thorough examination is within the last six months, does this also apply to our rigging kit ?
  16. I use one aluminum ring and a short length of 63mm m.d.p.e. water pipe, fits a treat and makes the end of the wooden shaft more robust. And free
  17. And when you do sort it, please, please remember to tell us what the solution was
  18. Air cleaner to turbo hose delaminated and inner collapsing and restricting airflow ?
  19. Wish we were coming , Wey & Arun canal wants us, so blasted Guildford again We really are going to have to make it next time
  20. I rather hope that this time the victim isn't anyone that I have climbed with .... I hope
  21. Good luck with your fishing expedition I go into slow motion when over the 'cut' , the thought of having to fish for kit concentrates the mind.
  22. I would suspect the hitch damper (gas strut inside the hitch tube)
  23. Handy chart :-) . Duly downloaded , cheers Mr. Flatters
  24. Used motomix cans are a lot more usefull than empty aspen cans
