Boy English

ive got one running 3/8th on a 13" bar I use for ground work, love it

I bought a McConnell safety saw bench in the end, either rip or fold the table down and a logging bench lifts up.. love it :-)

I saw that bench on ebay not so long back, did you make it? I liked it but it couldn't understand why the engine was left sitting higher than the bench or is it just how it looks in the pics?

ill check it out and report back, bars clean as a whistle however it does have a rubber, ill have a fiddle 2moro..

quoted from the main page?? "Using one of our kilns you would buy rapeseed straw (£20 a ton) or timber (£40 per ton), running for 9 weeks would cost you £1,475 using rape seed straw and £2.950 using wood." but then as you've mentioned it also says "Whilst the boiler in the kiln will accept other forms of biomass such as old pallets, rapeseed straw and scrap wood, the use of these alternative fuel sources is not acceptable under our kilns accreditation under the RHI scheme and is therefore not permitted"

though it would be worth asking if anyone could shed some light on an issue im having ?? 339xp, oils fine when ran up in shed, holding on side makes no difference, oil adjustment works as should.. then you get it warm ie cutting timber and the fun starts wont oil at all, not none, not a drip, nothing.. so far replaced worm drive (behind clutch), adjuster screw, replaced filter in oil tank, checked pipes are clear /connected and in decent order.. also with clutch and worm drive removed i can see the piston and when pushed forward pumps oil out in decent quantity, cant see any damage either.. any ideas??

i would like to point out that i was commenting on my view of using wood as a fuel, the website also suggests using rapeseed straw of which i know nothing about

I see the benefit of having the ability to season on demand however the company I help out process around 450t a year of hardwood, the only time kiln drying would be considered is when we are getting low on stock, ive had a brief look at the website and this is my concen / view, at this point in time (ie low on stock) I cant see where the 7.5t of seasoned wood comes from to fuel the kiln? I have noticed very little waste timber kicking around in the yard even after a summer of processing.. that 7.5 ton needed per week may only have cost £40-£50 per ton but has a value once split of £1200 (15 m3 @ £80.00 a cube) or in bags £1365 (21 bags) this does mean if you needed to burn what could be saleable wood its actually costing £30 per cube to dry.. as the kiln needs to be run for 9 weeks to comply this could equate to a running cost of £10,800 per year plus electric for the fans (£350) giving a total of £11,150.00 this in unless you have 70t of waste to fuel it?.. im not trying to be an arse or pick holes just my view..

3/8th socket set and an integra hat

looks like im sorted now chaps..

I think ebay is great, everything that someone wants to sell needs to be advertised somewhere be it good bad or ugly.. always view the item first, take some cash if there willing to sell it there and then, if not I view half hour before the end of auction sit in the car to call my girlfriend and get her to bid x amount, pay the man and take it home.. always view and pay based on your own judgement of whatever it is and not on what you are told, im not saying they all lie but I trust myself to know what im looking at more than them (its my money not theres) if I don't know enough about what im looking at I take a friend who does that I trust. ebay gives you massive choice, its up to you to decipher whats good and whats not.. the only time I beak the look first rule is if its on buy it now and its a third the price it should be and I can afford to loose the money if its a pile of crap.. best of luck

"I don't need a gun, ive got a donk" "That's not a knife, THIS is a knife"

yes chap, I got mine from B&Q I hunted around our local industrial estate and that's the only place that had them, I would suggest going to somewhere better but I wanted mine in there and then and was on a time limit.. beware of time delays on them IE the time from picking you up to sounding the alarm, I found some like this and there useless as don't sound immediately

Evening all, its time to try out the cundey and as such im looking for some small softwood to make fence posts.. been advised to look for some pine as it absorbs the treatment better when pickled ive been told, however im open to whats about size wise anything from 75mm to 300mm and 1.6m to 3.6m long, ideally I would like to find 5-10ton not a million miles away as its just for a test run, if it goes to plan ill be after a lorry load or 2 in the new year feel free to pm me if you have or are likely to have anything of interest

pm sent

I fitted some battery pir alarms in my tool lockers, remote on/off 1year battery life, 100db siren.. cost £40 for the pair..

in fact the comment is that good ive got to copy & paste it (done my best to remove the bad language) You sir, have a ****** up technique. This is ******* hilarious! First learn the proper technique. Jumping up in the air doesn't help as much as swinging the maul correctly. Wind up with that maul and strike the log while bending your knees downward. Don't dangle it down your back like an idiot. You do not get any momentum quickly that way. Secondly, that log is too green. That's why your maul bounces off of it. Let it season for at least a year before splitting. Or, you may have a dull blade. It might be a combination of a dull maul and a green piece of wood. Lastly, DON'T WEAR ******* SANDALS when doing that type of work. What's wrong you you? Wear a good-quality work boot.

my god i nearly cried ... also check out the 6th comment

i was talking with the old boy today and he said best method is to boil the bottom 3ft in creosote.. assuming this practice still allowed??

no market as yet, I was just thinking of giving it a shot.. I would sell direct, do some networking and make a small website maybe just generally make myself able to find.. I called a local supplier today and was quoted £4.35 + vat for a 115mm 6ft tanalised stake.. seemed enough to me but its been awhile sine I bought any

Evening all, bought a cundey peeler and a McConnell sawbench not so long back just for fun ( I like rusty things )..gave them abit of tlc and was considering selling them to get something else.. recentley a few people have told me there having issues getting quality posts for stock fencing, tanalised posts rotting and snapping around ground level within 3-5 years seems common..the chap who used my machines when they belonged to the local estate recons he knows of loads about that must be 30+ years old and still good (pickled larch).. im tempted to have a go but didn't want to find I couldn't shift them, anyone doing similar?

I would nearly bet money on it , that lad (not sure of his name) in my village who lost two saws a couple of months ago is pretty much invisible .. I used to play next door to his as a kid and never even knew his cottage existed.. matts hidden up well with no passing traffic, ive given nigel the heads up but hes seen nothing suspicious.. im alarmed up to the hilt but im still on red alert.. sleeping bag in the shed time I recon

when I first started firewood I ran out of seasoned but had another 15ton of green to go at, in abit of a needs must situation I knocked up a box made from fridge panels (used to make cold stores) 20ft long about 1.5m high and the same wide.. laid some metal crates in there as a fake floor about 6" above the true floor and made a tube up entering in that gap connected to an Andrews hi blow space heater.. the front was separate and used as a door for loading and unloading the wood (just threw it in loose) and when shut left a gap at the top 2" wide the full lengh of the box.. used to burn the heater for 4 hours nearly flat out and the wood would be lovely afterwards, this was a few years ago and neither me or the customers had a moisture meters but never had any complaints (all returning custom) from memory I would get 4 burns to a 47kg bottle the wood was split to hell after a burn..seemed nice and dry, even delivered it still warm several times

depends how high you make your sides... ive got a 10ft x 6ft 6 tipping buck, I made the front into a tool locker and made my sides up to carry 4 cube.. you could get a crew cab buck to carry 4 cube with the sides around cab height as a guess???

I too have been checking them out as its time I had a new one, ive been on a 18v dewalt with 3.0ah battery's for a while but its nearly had its day... ive borrowed a few from friends and I believe ill be getting a hilti next..
