  1. One modification would be to get a paint pen, and write your name and postcode on the wheel rim. So at least if it comes off again, someone could post it back to you
  2. The Timber Croc is great! Works really well. Timber Croc Saw Horse | Premium Log Holders for Cutting Wood TIMBERCROC.COM The Timber Croc is a self adjusting log holder which is superior to any other saw horse for cutting wood on the market today. Enjoy a lifetime warranty.
  3. Find out what engine is on the mower and search for a recoil starter for it. You might be able to buy individual parts, or the whole shebang. Possibly this? > Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starter 594062 650EXi, 675EXi | Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starters | Mower Magic WWW.MOWERMAGIC.CO.UK Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starter 594062 650EXi, 675EXi - Available from Mower Magic
  4. Just for @Peasgood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e5oKp-tCY4
  5. Looks like the OP @smallguy has disappeared! Here's a video for you:
  6. The town of Dingwall, north of Inverness has the shortest and most northerly canal in the UK. (basically the river was straightened out and deepened) At the bottom of the canal was an old footbridge, but it was deemed unsafe and blocked off by the council in 2017. After 2 years there was no progress, the council didn't seem interested in replacing it. The family who run the local sawmill (which makes fenceboards and WoodBlocX) stepped up and bought a new bridge, and had it installed. For the community, and named in honour of their son James who died as a young man. Fair play to them Scroll down this page to James' Bridge James' Bridge ⋆ Ross and Cromarty Heritage WWW.ROSSANDCROMARTYHERITAGE.ORG Attribution: unknown (Greenhill street in Dingwall looking North) Roberts’ Bridge Unlike Venice, Dingwall has few bridges crossing expanses of water. The oldest one, a small, stone...
  7. They used to sell crossbows on ebay years ago (I bought one!), how times have changed
  8. When I was buying it there wasn't really any videos of it properly working. So when I got it I took it to a job, recorded it, and put it on youtube. Weirdly the video has had 53,000 views, and every so often I will get an email ping through saying someone in some far away land has left a comment on this boring mundane video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G65NzyqXwBA
  9. Not used a Stihl 4 mix so can't compare, but yes the little Honda 4 strokes are easy to start. It's a great strimmer, the only downside is it's heavy
  10. Good to see the electric finger chopper living up to it's name
  11. If it's not sharp enough then give it a tickle with a file. You'll always find that some woods it will grab fine, and other harder woods it will struggle with. For picking up rounds might be better with a set of tongs? I was once not paying enough attention, swung at a log with the sappie, missed, it went through the side of my boot, into the skin. Needed a good yank to get it out!
  12. They actually named a place after him up on Orkney: Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Orkney KW17 2LN, UK
  13. If Trump could kick a ball he would get a game for Scotland, his mum was from Lewis
  14. 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 👍
  16. Plant your own trees, free firewood forever
  17. Have you got a chart showing the volume of wood in a cubic tonne?
  18. They left that log behind as a marker, it was right on top of the buried treasure
  19. 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.

    Crazy!!

  21. Looks good, do you go in there for a wee break from moderating on arbtalk
  22. 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?
  23. 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?
  24. 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
