    I never used/use Facebook, I did not/dont use a Smartphone either, nor will I now I am retired, hence my presence on here. BUT! Having been very mildly involved with Forums over this past few years, I get the impression that "specialist" forums "wax and wane", and all its takes is the forum to be down due to software issues, and it can "die" inside of a month. Life is SO fickle.

    As someone who has, bytimes "executed unorthodox operations", and survived unscathed, even I am VERY aware of the bomb-like nature of a mixture of Oxygen and Acetlyene, especially when under pressure. Presumably yer "professional" "borrowed" the mixture of gases from his place of work.

    This was definately stupider. 2018 Darwin Award: Wacky Welder DARWINAWARDS.COM Darwin Award: Wacky Welder: The tale of Howard Miller, 39, professional welder, illustrates the pitfalls of ignoring high school chemistry with a time-saving invention. Miller spent...

    2 Morso(e)'s fitted and fired up the backend of 1997, I have forgotten the models.

    WTF, would anyone imagine, that the person who felled the trees, was somehow magically responsible for THEIR inability to cut the felled trees up. I shall therefore stick with the distillation of my observations across some 45 years. "Ye canny fix stupid" mth

    Hang a few, and send the rest back to wherever their families emigrated from. No need for harsh prison sentences.

    I hid my Brattonsound gun cabinet keys (twice) before going on holidays, hid them so well I could not find them that is! Anyway I had to ask a locksmith's advice, a 10mm dia hole with a cordless drill and tap with a hammer on a drift (about 3 min per lock) and I was in. Scheesh! P.S. Needless to say I did not order a spare set of keys when I lost the first set, neither "mislaid" set have ever surfaced yet either, a good few years later.

    I was annoyed I did not put the 255 tyres on, instead of the factory fit 235's, saw one that weekend with the 255's on and it looked SO MUCH more purposeful, I could hardly credit they were only the next size up.

    Yup, I intend to put a BIG not 540 PTO/250 rpm only sticker on it. Though I am the sole operator.

    Yup, though some o the 'Derry men were a little unamused, on the other hand the Dublin guys were highly tickled.

    I replaced the factory 6.5" pully with a 14" pully, I could not handily get a 13" one for whatever reason. Means the wee Kioti can now run the saw blade at the correct tip speed, while ticking over, much, much easier on the ears and the diesel too. I was so proud of my handiwork, I fitted a see-through polycarbonate guard. Complete with the newly re-toothed and sharpened blade, humming nicely and cutting like a dream. Other taken in Donegal, during our June bank holiday "G" Wagen meet, overlooking Magilligan, simply posted here because I really like the image

    It all depends, mostly on the integrity of the design, with some allowance for whimsy, but mostly on the suitability and excellence of the materials used and thoughtful construction. And "I just know" what I like, but my tastes are remarkably catholic.

    I believe Stubby already is . . . Then he uses the charcoal to cook with.

    Apart from buying myself a 12V Panasonic drill/screwdriver way back in the late 90's, and being impressed by its versatility, power, durability and longevity. The absolute clincher was buying a 36V Bosch pneumatic hammer drill for work, prob in the early noughties, and standing near-giggling in wonder as it bored 20mm dia holes in basalt like it was cheese. P.S. Our local motor factors, Ffyes, had a £129.00 DIY package deal, which included 5 individually boxed Draper(some Draper Professional, some not) power tools, a cordless drill, angle grinder, orbital sander, jigsaw, and sommat else, at least a couple of which tools were cordless.

    Hmm, I wonder how many blokes on, The Farming Forum THEFARMINGFORUM.CO.UK The modern & interactive discussion forum for agriculture. will have bought their wives a 500 deg C pyroletic oven, seeing as it ud be SO much better for heating bearing housings, or cast iron components prior to welding.

    Yup! "JB Weld" with no other sub-descriptors is 2-pack epoxy stuff. Bit like "Hoover" being a vaccum cleaner.

    Obviously Yorkie sized pooches, 'cos ye widnay forget about the donkey sized turds in your pocket from a proper Mastiff sized dog! Nor would one be likely to put them in ones pocket!
