Just down the road there is Portreath Garden Machinery - Cornawall and the owner is mustard on servicing. They had one they source from a welsh company I think he said.

Yeah that looks a load better, but my mates digger doesnt have quick hitch, and he likes the idea of being able to leave the bucket on for some reason....I may give those guys a ring and see what price they can do for a 803 JCB......

Me and a mate are thinking of buying one of these: 1 to 3.9ton mini thumb digger/excavator grapple grab on eBay (end time 22-Apr-10 10:13:39 BST) Anyone used the company or the tool?

I had to change the carb on my 200t today. That in itself is not surprising I hear you say, as they are well-documented as having carb probs. The surprising thing to me was that I managed to get from 2007 until now before it reared its ugly head:confused1: Anyway, £52 and its sorted. Runs better than it ever has.

To stop movement in hardwood floors, even if they are kilned as low as 6% as for underfloor heating, you MUST acclimatise the boards in the room where they are to be laid for as long as possible. 6 weeks is ideal. Most houses are damper than a kiln, and drier than the wood would be if air dried.(in the uk it is nigh on impossible to air dry timber to less than about 22% M.C) Stress grooving the underside of the boards will also help. 18mm is quite a nice thin board too, so there is more chance of the nail holding it, although i have seen 20mm boards cup so badly that they ripped the cleat nail through themselves and ;eft a small layer of wood attached to the sub floor as glue had been used aswell!!

They are excellent mate. I love the benches. Not so keen on the 'shrooms, and the troughs are tops. I have a very old sandstone one from cheshire, and you see endless granite ones down here....I know a couple of guys who still make the granite ones by hand......they say its pretty devastating when you get nearly to the end of a large trough, taking perhaps several days to make, and a fault line reveals itself and the end cracks off!!!! Nice work. Is it a form of sandstone?

Really really interesting thread. Very informative. Charlieh, is there any adverse affect from dropping large amounts of hardwood into water courses (at the risk of sounding stupid.....) from tannins etc, or because the water is fast moving its not an issue, if you see what i mean?

Good stuff Simon.

Go on Kev, be a devil, let us see the pics mate...

Nice one Matt. Where was that then? Local? You see that high lift ali wedge with the beech insert.....if you put a second ring round the wooden bit it will stop it splaying out like that....unless you already have and yours is just really old..

Nice one Dave, glad to hear you're back on your feet (wheels!) again. -
Thats great work simon. I have to say that Hillfields is VERY different from when i lived near cov in the 90's.......In those days you didnt go there unless you wanted crack, smack or to go whoring!

Always with named sweatshirt on, and ALWAYS cleanshaven (obviously not an issue for those who sport facial hair normally!) and clean smart trousers unless on the way home from a job, when the potential client will have been forwarned anyway. Some customers may even get me into a collar as opposed to just a T-shirt, but that is uncommon lol

Oh well.....its probablyy not the best moment to tell you that my conversion cost me £498 about 6 years back, and i had a pulley wheel adjusted last year for a further £20, and there have been no problems other than that. Glad you've got it sorted though.
