  1. The quality of a re finish will depend on the prep and prep time will depend on what state its in now, are we staying in colour or is it a change. Brace yourself, the price of automotive paints has rocketed recently.
  2. Shiny but they last well enough and you can change the cam if you need to Get your hand in your pocket, you know you want to:laugh1:
  3. Give it a chance man. Otherwise arborist jobs.com
  4. I have an ART positioner, cant fault it
  5. treequip

    App or tap

    Now that's my kind of app, or is it tap I want one iPad Beer at Hofbraeuhaus by iSimon (iPad Zauberer) - YouTube
  6. Don't dismiss MIG over MMA for that reason. I have a single phase MIG that will take 1.5mm wire and competently weld 10mm in a single pass. If you have to re do the weld every 2 months you didn't do it right in the first place
  7. Well given the choice of, he takes it or the council spend my rates clearing it up, I will help him load it.
  8. So with that restriction you are on MMA (stick welding) Look for a cebora set.
  9. Consider also the sharpening, if its not done properly it will cut smaller diameter but will jam in a deeper cut Consider also the guide bar, if its not straight it will jam in a deeper cut
  10. I don't have any pictures but all you need is some 50mm flat bar cut to length and welded on vertically at 90degrees to the bottle. I made a water jacket for one by welding steam tube in loops to the back in the same manner, it needed pumping. If it were a tank with tapping's top and bottom it would have circulated adiabatically. PS don't forget the weld a "pie warming" shelf on the side
  11. I have made a couple. There is a lot of talk about them exploding when you cut them, I have cut several, first one I filled with Co2, and ground it, after that one I just took the valve off and set about them with a plasma cutter. I made a jig for that job and I am still here to tell the tale. You can use the offcuts to make the doors by welding a strip to them to overlap the opening. If you want a controllable burner you need to add a grove to the inside edge and fit a heatproof rope as a seal. The bottom door will need an air inlet if you do seal it. You can weld a flat floor beneath the grate to make cleaning but its a luxury rather than a necessity. Don't let them get too hot or they collapse under their own weight, If you weld some strips vertically (pot belly style would be vertical) up the back it will stiffen the bottle and act as heat convectors
  12. I don't see how "that tree and that angle" would preclude installing with a throw line, It wouldn't even need to be that big of a limb. One man pulled the tree over so the force and by extension the strength of the anchor point would need to be pretty low When the shot moves to the wider angle I can see several places where even my mediocre throw line skills could bag a line into that tiddler of a tree.
  13. :thumbup1:
  14. Or they could have put it in with a throw line
  15. I lent a battery drill out and it got stolen, they bought me a brand new MAC Alister to replace the Panasonic I chucked it under the bench a week later when it died. If you like MAC alister you can have it. Buy cheap buy twice. Personally I wouldn't touch anything from that brand.
  16. Good news indeed:thumbup1:
  17. Particularly as he has a dose:laugh1:
  18. You cant blame the man for being cagey with the vin number to "some bloke on ebay"
  19. Speculative as that statement is, from a H&S viewpoint ground felling is always preferred over work at height so they did the right thing. How they went about it, not so much and putting it on the web even more not so much. Cutting corners like that is bad practice and if I had never done it I would say they were bad men.
  20. You do appear to come out on the LA's side here, some regard asking them if a property is subject to protection as an invite to take a peek. Its morally wrong and its not all but it happens. LAs don't advise and consult if they think you are going to do something they wont like, they just make an order and let you deal with it, regardless if you are owner or agent.
  21. It depends on how high you build it
  22. That's only because you haven't put a bit of time into "bareback filing":laugh1:
  23. I wouldn't want to explain to a client that his tree is now protected because I thought they were tight for cash and wouldn't look.
  24. A better question would be why file guide? Just learn to sharpen without a guide then you wont need any let alone many
  25. That's as ridiculous as the non existent TM:thumbdown:
