  1. I have had a 4 1/2 inch bosch one for over 20 years and still going strong. Also got a 9 inch makita, thats a decent one as well.
  2. Hi, as the title says, i'm after a half decent (approx £100 ) tech drawing board. I'm fancying a table top A2 size board. Anyone with any hints or tips ? Thanks H.
  3. I agree with muttley, dewalt saws are the best, i have two of them a large and a small for different jobs. Its all about the blade. My dad uses a rage saw for cutting up off cuts and old timber for firewood and finds it ok for that, but i find them a bit crude in the making.
  4. Paper diary for me. But have never tried online, and at the moment have no interest or need to.
  5. Am i in a minority, in saying that i dont mind wearing my chainsaw wellies. I've got a pair of oregons. And if its wet / sludgy etc, then sod it, they get worn with a nice pair of seaboot socks. Would rather have dry feet than wet feet.
  6. Nice one Andrew, hope it all goes well for you. Your a top bloke to deal with. Cheers. H.
  7. Yes happy new year to all. TCD, love the new avatar. Dolmar all the way for me. H.
  8. Radley, get in touch with shavey (on here), he can get you a new dolmar, or if you want, he will get you a 2nd hand saw. I know he has also dealt with efco saws in the past. He's top notch to deal with, and a top bloke. H.
  9. For me its because non of the basics are done anymore. Council not clearing the gullies Farmers not clearing the ditches and drains that run around their fields (for whatever reason) Building on flood planes None or little dredging on rivers The removal of natural defences Its ok to build big flood defences, but surely lets get back to basics first. Not having a go at anyone, just my thoughts.
  10. All the best steve. Hope you have some makita / dolmar instruction manuals on order.
  11. I tend to use an angle grinder on mine every so often. I like mine razor sharp.
  12. I've just been looking at some canal rescue pictures of all the damage caused to canal boats. Horrible.
  13. sounds like a dolmar, a pint, and a good ole catchup time to me.
  14. As an apprentice joiner, i started out with an ex bt bedford HA van. 1250cc engine. blew up on xmas eve, me and my dad put in a new engine, and it ran like a dream. Loved that van.
  15. I've got a mak 9010, and thats a heavy lump as well, Dont use it much. I keep a 28" bar on it. Wouldnt get rid of it though, hopefully do some milling with it one day.
  16. As some will be aware i was asking about framing chisels a while ago. Well i still havent got some, but whilst just scouring the net, i came across this company Hand Tools | Windy Smithy They make socketed chisels and thought about contacting them about making me some chisels to suite, but without the handles, and then get someone off here to make / fit some decent handles to them. This then would mean i have a very personalised set of chisels. Opinions please. ( sorry for the derail / hijack ) H.
  17. Hi. I'm going to buy a set of cheap blue handled faithfull chisels for work. I think they are a generic made chisel as they are almost identical to the stanley range. They are the blue handled ones with a white ring around them.
  18. I've got the makita version. As other have said, its a heavy lump but plenty of power. I run mine on a 28" all the time, no problem. When you get the saw, chuck the solid nose bar away and get a sprocket nose one. World of difference.
  19. Hopefully a carver bar @ chain ( been wanting one for ages) A triton saw bench A day out somewhere A good drink, with some decent people.
  20. Hi matelot, sounds an interesting idea about the tin roof. Regarding a heat pump, thats one idea i am going to look at closely. Its just weather i can run one in conjunction with a wood / log / chip bio / burner.
  21. Sorry, carnt see what all the fuss is about. Prefer Ellie.
