What are you burning in your stove this winter 2010
scbk replied to firewoodman's topic in Firewood forum
Sitka spruce and the odd bit of leylandii in the rayburn that does the radiators, hot water, and cooking -
Theres always old touring caravans going cheap if you're in the right place at the right time I've had 3, the current one was the most expensive, it cost £20 Also folks usually give statics away for free so long as you arrange your own transport I think you need planning for statics though? Maybe there is a time limit? I would say get something cheap/free, fit a woodburner, if its still cold bodge some insulation on the outside

I've got the clear stihl combi can fitted with both the anti spill nozzles, best thing since sliced bread The only thing is, some petrol station cashiers don't like the clear cans and won't turn on the pump

I recently put a pair of mud + snow tyres on the back wheels of my Transit, they seem a bit better but I haven't really tested them yet Mine are made by Collins, Polish I think, they're retreads

Ford Transit Forum • View topic - MK6 fuse, relay and diode locations/ratings Just watch, as I think there was 2 slightly different layouts depending on the year

Well I saw one on ebay and bought it, got it for £70 The major design flaw seems to be the length of the bed/ram Useful for splitting the big rings in half sideways, so you can get at them with a maul a lot quicker Also if you have planks to be made into kindlers (for your own use) you can stack 5 or 6 up and split them in one go without risking any fingers

There was one I saw advertised on ebay which splits in both directions, here is the company selling them Log Splitter - Petrol - 20 ton Dual Action Will be made in china no doubt

Looks like a tall tree and a short rope
-
I think the slight twist of the axe when hitting the wood is supposed to split it easier
-
I would happily burn seasoned leylandii, but I don't think many people would buy it!
-
I've made basic stencils before using cardboard, print out the design onto paper and stick that to a bit of card, and cut out the sections with a stanley knife, job done lol I've now got a plotter/vinyl cutter so could prolly have a better crack at them, havent had a need yet though

Is £1500 a good deal for a W reg LDV Tipper with 80k ???
scbk replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
Going by what they're advertised for round here, the price seems about right, but not "cheap" -
What about this beauty [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuHV0BlvjMc]YouTube - Woodsplitter homemade V-8 powered logsplitter, Accident Injury[/ame]
-
Aye, I'm thinking it has to be faster than splitting with wedges, without splashing out on a powered splitter at this stage

If its a crewcab then it will deffo be overweight

I thought he would've replied by now, but Wee Jim from Ballater sells his softwood at the exact same price as you

Has anyone ever tried a manual log splitter like the Clarke Logbuster 4? Clarke Log Buster 4 Manual Hydraulic Log Splitter - Machine Mart Looks like a large bottle jack mounted within a frame, with a "fast" and "slow" handle Obivously not gonna be as fast as a maul on striaght wood but I was wondering if it would be any use on knotty stuff? Or so my parents can split wood for themselves?

Mister Solutions sell Stihl chains online, along with a few other brands Mister-Solutions Ltd

You could upload it straight to youtube

Also not much use in town as you turn your back for 2 seconds and someone parks up tight against your bumper (and I know what it's like, I have a ramp fitted on my van) Another intersting bit of kit is the U-Tail Roadload Limited U-tail Goods Delivery Vehicles
-
Aswell as the gross vehicle and train weights, you also have to watch the axle weights

All I had to pay for was the NPTC certificate to get CS30.1 CS30.2 CS31, had to do a year at college aswell though

Probably a bit off topic, but I have a ms250 (don't mock me!) where the brake band snapped, then a few days after fitting a new one, the brake was getting harder and harder to engage and disengage. On close inspection the handle had a small crack opening up in it. The new handle I bought (genunine stihl, same part no.) is more beefed up, and feels like it is possibly made of a different plastic, suggesting they know of a problem with handles breaking?

You may be exempt from a tacho depending on what you carry and how far What condition is the driver side headlamp in on the scrapper?
