  1. Good point, they can be bought for 60-£70 on ebay, just wondered if anyone on here has bought one.
  2. Looking to buy a cheapo top handle saw, no doubt it will be chineese, I currently use my ms200 for fencing work and I feel I'm destroying a good expensive saw. The cheapo saw will be used only for cutting posts , tree roots etc. Any recommendations? I don't really want to spend much more that £100 , so it really will be the bottom end of the market . Ive only ever bought stihl and I'm not expecting the build quality to be anywhere near them.
  3. Blimey, its hot enough doing tree work in this weather , let alone running around someones garden sword fighting as well.
  4. Like any business , quick turnover, small profit with plenty of sales:thumbdown:
  5. cracking condition, you,ll never lose money with that, unlike todays computerised beasts
  6. another for holly
  7. think of the childrens teeth mark and to hell with getting fat
  8. I think theres a second career for you blokes stunning photos:thumbup1:
  9. Experience says
  10. The h & s section, maybe?
  11. Agree:thumbup1:
  12. Theres only one way to find out, you could also put a large cod through a kindling machine and out comes fish fingers
  13. Forgot to ask: Is this you jon?
  14. Frozen being more solid than fresh, id say yes it would be a clean cut, book a couple of days off work after eating it though. Let us know how you get on as I'm sure theres quite a few on here who are also thinking of cutting their sunday joint in half with a saw bench, good luck mate.
  15. if its in the plastic pot with the screw on lid I used to use normal engine oil 20/50
  16. I used to use normal engine oil 20/50
  17. classic sound. looking at the prices for classic british bikes hang on to yours mick , that could be your pension
  18. Hard to beat that:thumbup1: round about 800bhp. 170 odd mph and in the 1960s as well. word is that one was clocked doing about 180mph on the m1 when there wasn't a speed limit, which is why they introduced the 70 limit. Also my 1977 ap50 with no baffles:laugh1:
  19. i do know one thing: he needs a damn good haircut!
  20. Had a call from a farmer friend asking for help concerning his 018: Starts and ticks over, revs up to around half throttle no problem, as soon as he tries any higher revs it gasps and dies as though its being starved of fuel. He has changed filler cap , spark plug, air filter and cleaned the carb throughout. Any thoughts would be appreciated, cheers , its a 2001 model ,my advice was chuck it on ebay and buy a new one.
  21. Diamond shape points me towards poplar
  22. Blastings ok as long as the metal your blasting is sound, on old cars etc the metal can be very thin and blasting will damage it, with the lazer there is no force on your work. I was going to phone a mate who restores old vehicles and tell him to watch this, until it was mentioned that they start at 30k
  23. Lift out of the hole or lift it on to a pick up etc ? knock all the soil of the roots and it,ll lift it no probs
  24. Agreed, tyres make a massive difference, a bit of weight on the back would help as well
