  2. pinus botticofficus?
  3. Steve, don’t humour him. He had me at shorts and sandals.
  4. You really are a prick aren’t you?
  5. As Woody says, belt tension is what I’d check first. Hydraulic oil all good?
  6. Look at strongmen competitions. They pull 40t trucks.8

  8. I didn’t say resoled, I said rsoled! You’re right Eggs, it doesn’t make sense, but the cobbler isn’t conning you. It’s a skilled job. Economies of scale when the originals are soled in a factory with thousands of other pairs.
  9. Sad times we live in. Even getting rsoled costs about a oner these days.
  10. Doug’s taking PED’s I reckon.
  11. Great stuff Jake.

  13. Hedge cutting sorted then. https://www.festool.co.uk/products/exoskeleton/exoactive-exoskeleton/577811---exo-18-4,0-i-plus-gb
  14. Steve has obviously had some kind of beef with Elon Musk.
  15. Can’t even post links now!

  17. Site is hellish slow at the minute? Taking 30 seconds + to load each page. On iphone through Google.

    You and Joe are almost certainly right, but like Mick I’ve never felt the need to have my sharp saws cut faster. It’s not the choke point on a job. A lad turned up one day with a ported 462 with a bark box and just pissed everyone off all day with the noise. Did we finish the job any quicker? No.
  21. Bolam has left Arbtalk.
  22. F’ing brilliant. Just because he’s less drunk than me and provides a photo 12 years too late he gets a strap named after him? There’s no justice. None.

    Simple physics. If you squeeze the pips from small engines they will die quicker. You’ve had good luck, and I know you look after your saws really well, which obviously helps. Same with trucks really. None of these modern 1.9’s tweaked to 240hp will see 300k miles like the 3.0l donks.
  24. Fair point.
