  1. @neiln honestly mate, its an art, old hands on here get them cutting like knife thru butter - do it by the book an it will get you there but once yr on top, its sharpen sharpen sharpen - you will detest dull teeth. K
  2. I think yr closer to the truth there- watching video again it looks like one hydraulic motor has Koncked, plus they are running faster than I would be happy with . So TWO new motors an filter and a flush through on yr hydro oil . Not massive money and they will be standard motors anyway ? K
  3. ( The French actually used a lot of Whitworth threads as Lathes sent over to help the rebuild were Imperial ) K
  4. Got my T13 out of a skip. Good clean up n new rope and pipe fr a handle and been a cracking winch fr years. K
  5. ....... This IS why i have a ****************loads of tools in my shed/s and skinned knuckles n burnt boots from torches. Cos fixing stuff is a core part of Arb/For and often unpleasant but if time is of the essence its unavoidable ? K
  6. Dont you start getting involved with all this new fangled witchery Mr Stubby, tha knoes how to do it proper, like. K Appen
  7. Thats more like it mate ? K

    Orange makita

    Amazing - plus the Humbolt handles ? K
  9. Doesnt look spot on - semi chisel should have a slight hook - not much tho' plus depth stop needs touching ? K
  10. Internet brings out the worst in us ? frankly not sure its a good idea, some guy wanted my bank card details yesterday, dunno ? K
  11. No.... Go on and say wot you really think ? K
  12. Give us a minute! Just got dinner n wine on... Sure some gobshite will wade in soon ? K
  13. 'Course that was when you got taught real stuff at school and could walk into a job, an beer was 2 shillings a pint n chips were cooked in beef fat. Eeee lad ? K
  14. All ears!! Always put species before age class. K
  15. Why i stopped going to a lot of protests, you go all that way - AntiFa and Socialists start bouncing off the Neo Nazis and White Power idiots, so newspapers just report the ruck, not wot you were actually going to protest about. K
  16. Mate i have had a good night out drinking with some muslim mates - there is actualy a Koranic exemption in there, if yr a guest an yr host offers you a beer, you cannot refuse that hospitality, the insult to yr host would outweigh the ban of alcohol. K
  17. @roys best lathes you can get. No room for that but it will last you forever. K
  18. God no - worse n that and there was no booze neither ? Free Derry would have looked like Butlins ! K
  19. Been over ten yrs since i owned a lathe and this gem was 500squid delivered from AIM tools. Lovely to have all the screw cutting gear n shineyness. Just had a PTO shaft skimmed for new bearing n that was 80 notes ? K
  20. Lovely bench @frammo ? Made a little improvement to mine today ?
  21. @MattyF better than i could have put it. We are pretty much blessed in many ways in this country and if where you live ( as i did for a while ? ) there is a tank at the end of yr street, water is on four days in week and you had to go thru a checkpoint to get to and from work and to yr mum or school - THEN you might moan a bit. K
  22. Odddly... You could walk in to a bank in that, and now no one thinks yr gonna rob it ? K
  23. Slugs eat ours. Use so much sand its like yarmouth here. K
  24. .... Wouldnt last 5 minutes on my work site, K
