    L200 winch

    get intouch with goodwinch. they do a cam kit that lets you attach it to your tow bar. works really well. the only downside is you have to take it off when you have finished using it. on the plus side you dont advertise the fact that you have a winch and you dont have nearly 100lb sitting on your bumper all day
  2. Hi guys, i need some nice straight ash (knot freeish) about 4/6ft long and 6/10 inch diameter. also some sycamore 2ft x 6/8 inch. the sycamore is for a demo i am doing with about 2000 kids on the 13th july. the Ash is to turn on a pole-lathe and stream bend for furniture. thanks in advance:biggrin:
  3. do your first cut (crown board) then use a mini mill to take the sides off. use the alaskan to cut the next board to thickness required then slide the board to the edge and either clamp it to the log or if its heavy enough dont. then cut the beams out with the mini mill. i always use a chalk line to get the cut line straight. i think Rob d has got a vid on how to do it his way.

  16. if you stuck to your guns and said that you would phone trading and standards they will soon change their mind. on all pumps there should be a sticker saying the last time it was checked. state of the art filters is a white wash, we all know they have to be changed regularly i think the consumer act states that you can get your money back if an item sold is not fit for purpose. so fuel with water or any foreign bodys in it should come under that act. could be wrong.
  17. i use Aspen all the time now, will not go back to forcourt fuel.
