  1. This one came up on todays deals, the price is the deposit! There's a nice 30 sec video of the machine at work, the operator seat looks kinda cramped, and then the engine/radiator cover pops open lol https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008080095156.html

    Resoling

    Buy a new pair of boots, but take the soles off the new ones and put them on your old boots. Then when the old leather upper wears out, you now have a spare for that too 👍
  3. Plant your own trees, free firewood forever
  4. Have you got a chart showing the volume of wood in a cubic tonne?
  5. They left that log behind as a marker, it was right on top of the buried treasure
  6. Aside from the wildlife, trying to set fire to a large piles of branches usually has a low success rate, so you're going to have to move it anyway. Best off starting a small fire and adding the material to it, then you can have a nice clean fire, safe, everything burnt, and with the least ground damage. On the 2 acres is there not space to just leave the stuff to rot down? Better for nature.

  8. Looks good, do you go in there for a wee break from moderating on arbtalk
  9. Chain oil? Then wonder why the saw won't start? Or refuel the saw, forget to put the cap back on, and get petrol down your leg?
  10. Gotta be a business opportunity to fill an artic trailer with it (on a backload) and bring it over here and sell it for polycrubs?
  11. Handy tool, I bought one years ago, mainly used for scraping bark off logs. I remember it said on it hand sharpen only - assume the heat of an angle grinder a ruins the temper of the steel? But the thing was so blunt from new, it would've taken weeks to do it by hand, so out came the grinder. Peeling off ivy is very satisfying, but I hate the dust
  12. Looks good Here's my cargo bike off to do a few wee jobs with the battery strimmer!
  13. Big old heavy bugger oak which had fell many years ago, and was well and truly sucked into the ground
  14. A friend was telling me he was in a local garden machinery place and they had cable ties on the counter for sale, I think it was 50p. He was like 50p? Seems good? "yes per cable tie"
  15. Probably make more money with a pallet of screenwash or blue roll (workshop wipes) in the shop, everyone needs it!
