    not meaning to nitpick, you do have some good videos and some good crashing and bashing. But i have to point this out. In this second vid at about 1:25 you took BOTH hands off a RUNNING saw then stepped towards the end of the bar with a chain STILL spinning. Madness :confused1:
  5. weve got a full tengtools set, the big cabinet with 3 tiers, some tools have gone walkies from their original home, but they are all lifetime warranty. Any other tools that arent teng that we have feel cheaper for some reason, and weve snapped a few that arent teng. not had much use of halfords kit though.
  6. Really big boobs! That would be something to shout across a field hehe. How about zip? Or target? Or bob?
  7. Just found out one of the small ones have sold. Feel free to come down and do a couple of carvings. The live show might sell some more!
  8. None so far but had lots of interest. Shame really. I want them to sell!
  9. Just seen this on one of the many websites i look through in my spare time was an eye opener. This, Is Why You Don’t Race During The Day AT ALL [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGhPFfDj_dU&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Street Racing Collision[/ame] comment from driver: My day took an unexpected turn when a driver pulled out in front of me at a traffic light shortly after a "race". All 3 vehicles involved were totaled. Fortunately, thank God, nobody was killed. The only people that were seriously hurt were in the Mustang. They were taken away in an ambulance, but later recovered. Because of this accident, I ended up being sentenced to 120 days in jail, two years of probation, and 100 hours of community service. The driver of the Mustang was sentenced to six months of prison among other things. I do not recommend illegal street racing to anyone. It is highly dangerous. My life has been affected by this since it happened, which has been almost three years now. You could be the best driver in the world, but you never know what the other person is going to do.
  10. sure is a puzzler, do you tie one tighter than the other? is one foot bigger than the other meaning its a tight fit and blocking circulation a bit?
  11. do you remember to put your left boot on? I keep finding i get cold toes, the rest of my foot is warm but the toes in both feet are freezing when ive been walking around in the snow! i wear two thick socks and its making no difference
  12. does it look anything like this?
  13. long enough pieces make good hitting sticks. for generally hitting stuff!
  14. To make my week that bit worse. My dad hit the back of my car in the yard with the fork lift and bent all the bumper mounting and removed some paint. That was yesterday. This morning the car wouldn't start!
  15. If I could get a few well paying jobs in I'd get the iPad. But I would get staff to sign a separate sheet or something to prove thugs read it. Although you can get staff to sign their name with their finger on the iPad. You'd just have to work out some way of linking the two.
  16. Is it anything to do with that bloke off baywatch?
  17. We have a couple. I think they were an eBay purchase a while ago. Very old and well bashed. But good for hitting stuff against'
  18. get some duct tape and an old carabiner and a mug with no handle, you can make your own !
  19. I had a bad day Saturday. Up at 5.30 to go pick our tractor up from the docks. Get almost there and the guy coming to help me had slipped on some ice whilst getting ready to leave. So he was out of action. Went back home. Wouldn't be able to use the tractor as I'd be too busy. Got back home around 6.45. Had to go get a mewp from Liverpool again at 7.30. Left at 7.45. Get that sorted then I manage to get a guy to help me on site. Did 4 hours work in the mewp and it died. No batteries left! Had to get the guy on the ground to manually pump it to get me down. Get back to the yard and it's an ice rink. Can barely walk anywhere. Ended well. Beef casserole and proper chips for tea

    step cut

    personally i would have made the bore through cut come back further to overlap more on the bottom, as then you hav a proper step, that just seemed like too much effort, especially for a pole like that, a conventional cut at ground level would leave it at the same height.
  21. I've got one. I'm a magpie!
  22. Me too for a cap. Willing to pay a premium for it! Would be helpful!
