  1. It would be rather galling to have a knob like that on your wood.

    ms 460

    Yep the 460 is a good strong saw, old school reliable. Not sure you can get them anymore, but if you can, get it!
  3. There's a good few round Essex if that is in your curtilage.
  4. I agree.
  5. The only way that will stay up is if they banked the back of the wall with concrete to just below the slabs on the built up side, but I doubt that was done.
  6. That wont last long without the bonding or footings, is it retaining? the pipes & lack of damp course lead me to think it is!
  7. Congratulations Matt !
  8. They are guff vents, to be used only in an emergency.
  9. Just for you mate!
  10. A badly spelt but fine name!
  11. Butler? Who's Butler? Oh Butler! Welcome back:biggrin:
  12. :laugh1:Quality post:lol:
  13. That's quality work Owen! We aint got no rocks here in my part of Essex, but we have a lot of potatoes, would they count, on a dispensation of course?
  14. That's my setup, 10" on the 150, & a ported & sorted 200t with a 14" bar. The only thing I would like is to have the 150 ported, & an oiler upgrade ( if possible). If Spud could work on this he would get swamped with saws!
  15. The saw looks good in the video, it will be interesting to see how it stands up in the field, but my Spudport 200 is going to be hard to beat. As said, the manufacturers have to jump through hoops getting these things through the emissions tests, this affects the performance, & I suspect the quality of modern saws has dropped in recent years, driven by market forces.. the shareholders want more profit, & the consumer wants a cheaper saw.
  16. Spalting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a fairly accurate brief description of what's going on. You can spalt your own timber by leaving it in a rotting chip pile or compost heap for a few weeks, then wrap it in polethene/ cling film with a bit of moisture added, after a few months have a look to see how its doing.
  17. Been a very hot one today, had to dismantle a large ash that had been condemned ( one of two), still very humid, methinks storms on the way, looks like a wet climb for tomorrow on a lightning struck ash that has to come down.

    Damn!

    A good landy will be quite reliable with routine servicing, they work hard compared to a lot of other 4wds. Mine have earnt me good money with no big issues.
  19. I bet that's a lovely saw to use! Back in the day I had a few Sachs Dolmars until I got robbed of the lot, they were solid high quality saws.

    Jokes???

    A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it." The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly $1000 an inch." The man perks up. "So," the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want. But I understand that you have been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision." The man agrees to talk it over with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?" "Yes I have," says the man. "And has she helped you make a decision?" "Yes" says the man. "What is your decision?" asks the doctor "We're getting granite counter tops."
  21. Cool pics mate!
  22. The op is a female member of the public asking for an id, could be a client just as easily, can we keep it a bit more respectful?
  23. Maybe the variant, Ernest Wilson? Lets keep it nice guys, this has been a difficult one to pin down on an id,but no doubt we will get it pinned down with discussion.

    Worst case scenario, get spark erosion done, I paid £60 to remove a broken exhaust stud from an alloy head. Here is one company that does it, but there are a few about. Spark erosion or Spark eroding or electro disintegration on site mobile service
