Just to bump an old thread!! Here's a new log store I've been slowly working on when I have the spare time It will be getting slatted sides at some point, just glad to have the roof finished The roof is 17ft by 32ft

Not today, but a couple of weeks back, using the new (to me) tracked barrow to cart a couple ton of beech down a steep hill Just the ticket

Harry Potter train aint going anywhere at the minute! West Coast Railway Company prohibited from main line running

She's a clever lass. It's a windy day and if she got out at the same time all the crisp packets/receipts/papers from the cab would be strewn across the field! Wish my other half could learn this!

It's a good video, but the website address at the start and end is wrong
-
I would say get an air powered one

I feel sorry for him

Oh and I did eventually get the vinyl cutter working again!

Hey Jim, good to hear from you. I'm not on facebook but I seen some of the photos posted at the time. What's the place looking like now? We will have to come through for a weekend in the spring!

Not unless you're after a drink!

2nd battery would be an optional extra (or easy to fit yourself!). Think they came as standard on mk7 rear wheel drive

Check the wires to the alternator, I had mine go at the multiplug to it

Start small, think of it as a campfire. Keep all the sticks running the same way It's perfectly possible to fell any tree and burn it the same day, even in the rain, but that's a bit harder! You'll need some dry wood, you might be able to find dead branches off the ground that are dry. A wee bit of coal can help too Petrol is no use Red diesel/used oil, old tyres can be useful! Conifer is usually easy. I've lit fires before using only a lighter and twigs off the ground - no brought in materials! Cannae beat a fire

Scrap that, this came in the post today! Thanks Rye Oil!

I got a set of the Oregon black braces, a few months ago, and stuffed them away in a cupboard until I broke out the new trousers. They were nice and comfy, but went to use them today for the first time and one side snapped within 2 hours :thumbdown:

Thanks, I will probably buy more 10w40 semi synthetic, think it was only about a tenner per 5l can at the motor factors
-
Just wondering, Honda always recommend using 10w30 oil but it's pretty hard to track down! In the past I have used 10w40, 5w30, straight 30, etc. What is the most suitable oil? The various engines are usually used in temps from just below zero to 20degrees C

Build it as high as you can, so you don't have to stoop or bang your head! And fit a gutter
-
Here's an interesting video, shows how they load it into the stove at the end [ame] [/ame]

Would you be interested in selling small quantities? Always after wood for myself/family etc
-
Up here with the hydro board they would cost 18.5p an hour!

Depends how big the area is, how high the ceiling is etc. You could fit a number of batten lamp holders or pendants, fit them with CFL or LED bulbs, and you will get a nice even light over the entire workshop. Then you can have more intense lighting over the workbench. A halogen lamp by the workbench isn't actually a bad thing in winter as you can get the heat off it!! You can get LED floodlights off ebay for next to nothing now (2 for a tenner!). Just be careful, on most of them the earth isn't connected, the wattage is overstated, and I would be dubious about how waterproof they are

Different vat rates too!
