  1. You'll get the hinges from a somewhere that does trailer parts (or ebay!)
  2. For winter, these are good outdoor gloves, no use for anything intricate though 12 PAIRS HI VIZ THERMAL WINTER BUILDERS LATEX WORK GLOVES GARDENING NEW | eBay
  3. If I was local I would offer to clear it for free (I'm very generous:biggrin:) but the branches would be going on a bonfire in their garden!
  4. What to watch aswell is you get some blades designed for green wood and some for bone dry/dead wood, make sure you get the right one!
  5. Wagon driver was going too fast to look properly. Balcas is just round the corner so the driver would've been delivering there, and probably uses that junction dozens of times a week, obviously complacency has set in! On the news the local councillor was wanting a roundabout or traffic lights put in - a simple STOP sign would've probably avoided this near miss!
  6. Youtube "suggested videos" is dangerous, you could spend all day on there! Thought this guys idea with a poly tunnel made out of plastic pipe was a clever idea for a small wood shed. (not sure how well it would last in the wind?) Unfortunately, he waffles on a fair bit [ame] [/ame]
  7. Try Buy cheap tyres online @ Mytyres.co.uk - tyre dealer for car and budget tyres
  8. The bag on the right isn't kindling:001_tt2:
  9. Hi, looking for part time work to try and fill a few more days in the week, whether it be a one off or on-going. Experienced in woodland maintenance, tree felling, grass cutting, lots of strimming, brushcutting, hedge trimming, groundscare, bit of fencing, ditching, building maintenance, basic joinery/woodcraft, lots of firewood production and would like to think I was quite good at just general fixing/mending things. Based nr Dingwall, have own transport, saw, and the usual tools, and a few bits of small machinery. Get in touch if you'd to know more Kyle

    creosote

    Octopost, from what I remember they are about £4 each Creosote posts - Davies Implements
  11. Forgot I took these pictures, this is the splitter outside the house last week, it's warmed up last few days, most of the snow has gone. Has been a fairly average winter so far I'd say, the only weather I don't like is rain!
  12. I've used Creocote before and I thought it was a bit rubbish, smelt like rotten eggs and the timber looked like it had been washed with muddy water once it dried! Maybe it was a dodgy batch if folks on here seem to like it? I've also used a brand called Creoseal Plus, this is a lot more like proper creosote, smells nice, and brings out the grain nicely
  13. He's hit the first tree at the end of the bus lane and the beginning of the height limit, doh! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.514978,-0.118578,3a,69.6y,136.33h,86.36t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s0dhMjsvZA4MnCXbB5nj40Q!2e0?hl=en I think it's terrible, someone should put up a warning sign about the overhanging trees
  14. I would imagine if it's hot enough for a kettle it's hot enough for a fan! £40 off amazon, job done
  15. Just out of interest, do you know what species of hybrid willow it is?
  16. Bought a Valliant fan off amazon (£42 delivered!) a few weeks back. Wish I'd got one years ago I'm a big fan!
  17. Well worth it, I don't think they actually add much to the price of a new saw anyway
  18. Can you net set it in the ground at an angle, or am I missing something
  19. Just seen this on youtube, do you think it's made in china? Seems a bit slow! [ame] [/ame]
  20. It's not that much wood, if it's your main heat source, and you like to season for a couple of years
  21. There goes another billion pounds of public money! BBC News - £1.1bn funding for Moray Firth subcable to be accepted
  22. What about a wee packet of seeds, with a note saying how to grow them etc Many many years ago on a school trip we were all given a wee bag with a handful of scots pine seeds and a bit of paper. I think I may even still have it somewhere (never got round to planting them lol)
  23. I don't like the greens - I don't like wind turbines and pylons. We have too many as it is!
  24. The toolstation price is the best going on the Nightsearcher You can get cheaper rechargeable LED floodlights (£25 ebay) but you get what you pay for
