Meh!, Simply cheap advertising for someone, 1 Company owner with FSH, & all tax deductible I presume.

Well I demand "best of three" just in case the next one gets it wrong. Only fair I imagine.

For me, at 60, after 40 years of mostly retrospective observation, it is a purely seasonal cycle, currently in my winter hibernation mode, only requiring a full belly and a warm bed, but! come some unspecified day in the early spring, I will burst into madly productive life again. Best described as like flicking a switch, so sudden, though not unexpected, as to be unbelievable. At 60 I have learned to live with myself, though it can be a gie long boring winter bytimes. But I simply cannot focus/knuckle down during the winter months, emergiencies excepting. Marcus

What winch is that?

Well fcuk me 6 ways to Sunday, that Meclac is the proper dog's danglies, and could probably scratch a dog's dangly bits, to the dogs immense and ongoing satisfaction. I like it. P.S. Requires a week/couple of weeks intensive training, a short break, then back on with a couple of relaxing pints in, to "go with the flow". IMHO

look on facebook, there is a winchmen group

"If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" oops That was not addressed to you btw Mick, so dont go getting ideas . . .

Well a chain was a long established unit of measurement of length under the Imperial system like. So it could hardly be metric like! An, needless to say I got one o them chains stashed away for post Brexit use

Facetious comment removed

What can I say, but "Oh Good", & rub my hands with glee, for all us UK based woodland owners, especially previously undervalued Conifer woodland owners. P.S. I had predicted Brexit would be good for UK based business, so I was correct, yes? cheers marcus -
Where do you get wood for your stove?
difflock replied to BowlandStoves's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Bowlandstoves, A favourite saying of my Uncle Tony, a lifelong bachelor and as mad as a box of frogs, unfortunately genetics being what it is, and Tony being my fathers brother, I sometimes see "the Tony" in me coming out. Such is life. When starting a job, he often said "let the dog see the rabbit", i.e. clear the site so as one could see the wood from the trees, so to speak. Marcus, the Hat. -

But keep the bedroom unheated Ratman, that way they have to lie tighter for the heat! Or alternately they bring a few well fed warm fat cuddely dogs to bed. sigh The best laid plans o mice an men aft gey gang astray. -
Tsk tsk, how could footings be measured in metric?
-
Bloody Yanks? Probably like tyre sizes. P.S. I tend to use whichever system, metric or imperial, gives me the nearest "dead on" or easiest remembered measurement. But for volumes of concrete it must be metric.
-
F... me, I would need binos to see whatever I was trying to grab, so hopefully it is equipped with radio remote control? mth

What are fungee? From a Professor too.

Another "failure to communicate".
-
Lord God! (and pardon the intended Pun) Tis a Penance FFS Why must the cross therefore be light? P.S. On that basis, it might as well make it out of plastic.
-
Being such a simple mechanism, I would have imagined that "reverse engineering" the needed parts should not be a big issue? But obviously much easier with photos or drawings.
-
Nah, But the Look on Her face if one wantonly grabbed her by the fanny . . . would be priceless. Be near worth the ensuing jailtime. P.S. Reading about an Officer currently being investigated for sexual misconduct at a Mess dinner, and remembering the brash young subaltern who boldly grabbed the bar hugging CO's wife by the crotch(& possibly inspired by wor Croc Dundee), and nary a word said, there was, as they say, "drink taken". Happy days.
-
I always feel the Crocodile Dundee just-checking hands-on approach would solve the whole gender assumption nonsense.
-
I pondered that, a bit, not much, but you are probably correct.
-
Curiosity only, but what was the quoted price? And what-on-earth rated line pull if it weighed 500kg? marcus
-
Why minus the motor, use the motor, driven by a suitable hydraulic hand pump, as surely hydraulics, at low flow rates, are one of the most efficient mechanisms? Gearing is everything.

My father reminisced about pulling large Ash trees over with a borrowed "monkey winch", some of the butts were 3' in diameter(from my hazy memories), cut with a Remington saw, which he must have bought about 50 years ago, and as far as I am aware, this saw is still sitting on the bench at the home place. It was an absolute pig to get started, and was rapidly replaced by an 08S powered Sithl saw. mth N.B. The only tractor at that time would have been a TVO Major.
