Build a cabin on a jetty half on half off the pond, put a solar panel on the roof, a few old 12v batteries in the cabin, hidden under the seating, next to the mini bar, then run some cheap 12v dc lights from that, on a timer or lux sensor to keep it lazy, then relax on the decking, as the midges devour you

Go to mention this, Brake calliper rewind tool. Set comes with l/h and r/h winders, and loads of adaptor plates to fit various brakes. Seems sturdy enough for diy use. Couldn't believe the price though - £13.99 inc delivery from ebay
-
You could even have a solar panel charging a 12v system for a couple of lights/chargers

The giveaway with the woodmizer is the photos, Skye doesn't look like that!!

The foam tyres are good but the bearings are rubbish, they don't last long on a sack truck with heavy use. You can get replacement bearings for a couple quid but they don't last any longer. The good wheels are the magliner ones, but you need deep pockets.

I've no doubt that in 20 years time we'll all be running about with battery chainsaws, hedge cutters, etc, and we'll be trying to explain to youngsters what 2 stroke was. Ps just fitted an ebike kit to my bicycle, wow, great fun!

Mike Pepler, the celebrity! Recognise the name from years ago on youtube!

Help required re boot size looking at Cofra Power boots
scbk replied to Trains's topic in General chat
Maybe I had a bad pair, but I had the same boots a good few years ago, and they didn't last long, the sole fell off -
What is wrong with the Queen. Why would you cut down trees just to get a bit of wood out of it. Can she not go down to a timber yard like everyone else. Would somebody please think of the children

You've never seen it then! Old gaelic boy doing odd jobs on folks houses. The only annoying thing is half the time he bodges the job with PVC and silicone! And he likes a good sing and dance

Interestingly, on the episode of "DIY le Donnie" (BBC Alba) tonight, there was a community garden, and the folks were painting a dug out stump/roots with wood hardener, to try and preserve it. Suppose it's a bit like the resin idea. Don't know how well it would last.

This just came up on my youtube. Think I've seen a similar machine before. Just looks like a nice simple relaxed way of producing logs from thin lengths

Hedge waste as in cuttings from a hedge cutter? A chipper isn't going to help much with that

One of the best known faces in Inverness ,apparently accused of rape, and runs off to the US to fake his own death https://www.kion546.com/news/sheriffs-scottish-man-fakes-disappearance-at-monastery-beach/1046018812

If you've got a petrol cut off saw (stihl saw) get a terrasaur blade, about £100
-
Stephen/htb, if you working near Inverness again, I'm always after logs (cash paid), and can always find a home for woodchip. Less than 10 mins north of the Kessock Bridge.

Not quite the same, Balfor do one incorporating a normal chainsaw, and splitter + conveyors, powered by petrol or hydraulic. I think it will cut 500mm lengths. https://www.balfor-firewood.com/firewood-processors/

2 old photos of it from t'internet

Are you looking at buying from the dealers in the link? If so I would be a bit wary. I have looked up about them before, same vans appearing in the "auction" every week. Not sure if there's any bargains to be had
-
It's the same for Stornoway, locals either can't get over to the mainland, or get back home. Ferry full of tourists, with fares subsidised by tax payers
-
Not helped by the RET though eh?
-
What I don't understand is, the Scottish government want to lower air passenger duty, but introduce a tourist tax? As someone who never gets on a plane, that tax should be raised
-
As she's road reg'd, just drive her on to the ferry in stronoway, few quid saved there There's a story of a local guy "back in the day" who drove an old JCB 3c 100-odd miles home. Apparently he went up to get it with his van & bicycle. He would do a few miles at a time, then cycle back to get the van and leapfrog the JCB, and so on. Bike was carried in the van or the front bucket of the JCB

There's many ways to go about things, and nothing is ever perfect. But for the price of the tracked Italian machine, you could probably buy a brand new cs100 and brand new muck truck to tow it with, have spare change, and a chipper that will go most places, not rip up the lawn, and a carry all your other gear (saw, fuel, pies etc) in the skip of the barrow.

I like the fact he goes off the road, impaling himself on the snow gate, and his first reaction is to take photos to list it on gumtree, before even turning the headlights off
