  1. Did someone mill all those boards in the background using that?! Be a contender for Tour de France I reckon... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. I got given a metal watch years ago, good quality one. I have worn it for sawing, building work, you name it. Face is a bit scratched and it's lasted about 10 years but the strap is giving up the ghost now, lots of the link pins have worn out. What about something like a nurses watch, where they are designed to pin to your shirt? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  5. Where'd you find a picture of my family?! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Be alright with a bit of gaffer tape and a spray of wd40 I reckon... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  8. Brush dry sawdust over the top a few times. Or bake sand in the oven then sprinkle over. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. Apparently it's easy to grind down and nice and fine once done. Having burnt some and seen how it forms a nice bed on a normal fire I can see why. Nice firewood if a bit quick burning. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. The narcotics must be good in Rushden, that's all I can say... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. Build one? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  12. And it's in Alum Rock, so if you're really lucky you might get out with all your gear and four wheels on a vehicle... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  13. On a different floor pan I assume? I would guess it will be based on the caddy max life basics? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. I got the 1.6TDi Greenline, picked it up today. Seems alright, 5 miles on the clock and it's averaged 52mpg on a 70 mile drive back down the M1. Anyone want to buy a 52 plate Honda Civic, 82k on the clock? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  15. Just finished the handles and put a bit of an edge on the abattoir axe.. Don't know if I'll ever use it for much but I like it! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  16. Was just thinking the same, it would make a hell of a bonny! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  18. I bought a felling axe, a hatchet and another axe from a farm sale about 10 years ago. Cost about four quid plus buyers premium I think. Axe has had a new shaft but doing well. The beast of the three is the "other" axe. It is made of some kind of wrought steel, including the handle, and short - suitable for two handed operation but only with bended arms. I was a bit bemused as to the original purpose of it, but when I spoke to my father he put me in the picture - apparently it is an abattoir axe, used for two handed halving of carcasses down the spinal cord when the animal is hung up. I've used it for hacking at roots and things in the past but this weekend decided to put a pair of wooden wraparound handles on it and give it a sharpen. Photos to follow when I get it finished!

  19. If anyone is in the Warwick area and would like to get rid of burnable arisings in exchange for beer money (or homemade rhubarb wine!), I would be glad to hear from you after my friend sold the woodland I'd been helping with, leading to loss of firewood. I am happy to unload, saw and split, and have got some space (not loads) to stack wood for seasoning. Can also collect in car-trailer loads locally, depending on what the wood is still potentially prepared to pay on that basis too. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. Been to Cheshire today. Off to Kent at 5.30 in the morning. Dewsbury on Thursday. The joys of an office job, eh?! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. I use beconase which is pretty effective and works out cheaper than buying pills, spray morning and night up each nostril. The over the counter stuff I think recommends only to use for limited period but doctor has had me prescribed on exactly the same stuff for a year now and is comfortable for me to carry on.

  22. During a power cut in heavy snow we once walked to our local pub and our Staffy insisted on following us. The locals weren't impressed when it made a habit of guffing then wandering off innocently... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  23. Sorry, links didn't work. But search for "cross cut" on eBay... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  25. If the OP is going to be felling trees with no-one else around, will they make a sound anyway? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
