Im curious about the ultra sonic cleaning units. Have read up on them a bit, jewellry, dental equipment cleaners etc. Would be good if a few more offered comments on what they have got. Show us your sonic cleaners. I was thinking today about something I had read, It says they will work in cracks and narrow spaces. Would I be expecting too much to put chipper blades in and then find fatigues in them. Or am I expecting too much?

Good idea for branding and if you put number on other retailers will contact you. As for price I dont know because I dont use them, but up to 5p more?

Mine has much more tat on it, not magnetic though:001_tt2: I probably have more reason to be embarrassed because I reckon our :workshop is probably 8x7 metres and it all looks the same. The bench with the stihlsaws was an old science lab bench from school complete with gas taps, due to the clutter it hasn't been used for 7yrs or more. Anyway I cleared stihl bits in to a crate and removed gas taps on sunday and had space to work today when my 357xp starter rope snapped. Feeling the benefit already and havn't started yet!

Seeing a certain bench on this thread and having lots of theoretical time on my hands. I have started to sort out the workshop/junkstore at my Dads place that I use. I plan on getting about ten years of projects finished. A nearly new mountfield lawnmower my brother in law gave me, because he shoved it under hedge and lost the mechanisms off the carb. I discovered a stihl cut off saw TS 510 ( 2 actually )buried under trash on a bench in many many pieces. I have downloaded a service pdf manual for this but need a parts exploded diagram ideally. Any pointers? Shelves need to go up. A part finished tipping trailer for a compact tractor. The jacks mentioned earlier in this thread. A slurry tanker that needs finishing. Plus many more treasures waiting to be discovered no doubt. Will try to post of the more interesting pictures. My intentions are good, honestly:001_rolleyes:

Very noble of you, shame more people don't look out for the kids as individuals, instead they use them as game pieces, hope it works out for the kid. Take it you was a role model. -
Re OP . It could be sabotage by the frenchman on the english biomass industry, but I thought we had past that?

Lack of use???

Offer a percentage of value to charity in their behalf and a lump for them to carve up.

It is the most ECOnomical in the long run.

I tried it in an old burner we had, It worked well mostly then a couple of times I was sat with door open on a freezing frosty night sweating in my underwear as the got carried away and refused to calm down.

Rich, thanks. Mine went up and crept down, had the guts out the bottom of the jack, will have another go, sometime. It will be one of those simple fixes were the parts are inexpensive, but the official parts make a new jack more cost attractive. My 20 tonne bottle jack lifts very little and creep down. Will post any successes.

A low input longer term idea. Establish a contact in the nursery stock industry. Plant yew laurels and other hedge species, plant in rows. Trim to shape and mow/weed. Within 5yrs you will be selling instant hedge plants. Best to use a contact in trade they have markets and specialized equipment. You could run chickens on the plot in 2nd year when plants are rooted.

On my bench today was a sealey 3 tonne trolley jack that doesnt do that. Saw Rich had one on his magnetic bench. Anyways I stripped it and cleaned it and rebuilt it, no improvement! I can get O rings from an excellent place locally called Direct Gaskets. The steel type seals from another place, but where would I go for the Nylon type o ring rim enclosure type seal off the piston? Anybody any pointers for hydraulic jacks, Ive a few that need tickling up. I have stripped and rebuilt hydraulic rams sucessfully in the past.

If you have the stamina and drive, drop it and log it. Most of us learn the hard way. Take a good look at how you will do it, then do it in the most efficient and effective way you can. Sometimes it can be most effective to fell and process where tree stands, other times fell em and cart them to a central point or into a barn for a wet day job. Evaluate. As said pine spits but if seasoned properly as almost any wood will make wood stove fuel which is where most firewood goes these days. Assume your location is not 50 miles from nearest potential customer. Fell and split now start sales next winter.

Nice I liked that bit. Bet he had skin like a horse saddle.I did a stint in building for a few months about 15years ago I always went down the scaffold poles like a firemans pole, saved lots of queing and time. wonder how long I'd last on site now? I never was keen on ladders, unpredictable man traps.

Shame I agree. I wasn't bothered about the money for myself, just seeing it go to waste a free tip would of saved them the reprocessing costs as they already have big heaps of rubble/hardcore as the quarry also has waste transfer facilities. Its daft how policies actually shoot companies in their own feet, If they had a known list of nearby waiting tip sites willing to pay up to half price or a donation to a charity, the feel good factor could be spread for everyone. Also the wastage cut back. Iv'e even thought if they had barrels etc on site to fill for traffic stoppers to sell on. Its ironic the plant I help out has blather and potholes for a yard when they bring back £££££££s of concrete every year.

This is true, when I drove a mixer this August, there was 14cube (over £900) that had to go back, I had places I could of taken it but the gaffer spent that long trying to resell it. We took it back yard to be crushed for hardcore later. The customer had already paid for it.

Woodchip, sawdust tends to hold the moisture and keep ground wet, Our yard is hardcore base with planings on top. When doing the scraping with a tractor loader it pays to use the bucket at about 45 degrees(find your best angle) down from horizontal and drag backwards to avoid digging in to yard surface. Ideal compromise would be concrete under woodchip pile and split log pile for clean bulk handling and rough brash, cordwood and traffic areas on cheaper surface.

The second article says its a 56,000 ton crane so maybe they thought it should lift it:confused1:
