  1. I can’t answer with any experience or authority but if I was wanting to set a framework like a mill up to be true, I’d want to do it on a nice flat floor to take as much guesswork out of the equation as possible. I’m sure it’s possible without but you’d think that it puts things in your favour.
  2. I've got a 500i and a 661 that I want to buy a double ended bar for for milling. I'll also need to to either buy or make a mill. I want to get a big enough bar that I don't keep finding trees I can't do (without having to halve, skim and roll etc) but I don't want so big that it's either unreasonably unwieldy or it sags/flexes excessively. DOUBLE ENDED MILLING BARS - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK What have people got and how are you finding them? Do the proper mills keep the bar tensioned better than a DIY mill made from plywood and threaded rod? At what length do you run into diminishing returns with bigger bars? What in your opinion is a nice compromise, all rounder size? And I'd welcome any other input you think is relevant. Thanks in advance.
  3. I for one would be immensely grateful if you could keep your constant pointless advice to yourself, you unrelentingly negative, know-it-all bellend.
  4. I bought a quick coupler spigot for a nut gun the other day and the threads to go into the nut gun were covered in crusty white/grey/blue stuff. I assume that's liquid PTFE?
  5. It is. Wranglerstar on YouTube did a burr like that a few months ago.
  6. Thanks. I get all that. I must have misread something because I thought there was more to it.
  7. Can someone humour me please. I'm trying to learn things.

    Dad’s got a Zenoah strimmer which is excellent.

    Tip site

    Try asking at either the skip place or the aggregate place on the Great Waldingfield industrial estate.
  10. What's 7k a quarter? Some threshold?
  11. Hack fvck out of it it. You may be surprised. Apples are tough trees. Silky Fox pruning saw somewhere around £30. A tool worth having anyway.
  12. That'll be about horizontal and vertical direct effect.
  13. Has anyone tried one of those pulleys where the wheel turns one way but not the other?
  14. Electric chippers on electrified lines. I can't think why nobody just asked me before.
  15. Move the greenhouse and smile and wave at the neighbours.
  16. That’s who I wast thinking about.
  17. Me and my gear have been getting lifts on and off a site in this lovely little thing. Mid engined, rear wheel drive, 16v, turbonutterbastard (sadly no actual turbo). I’ve been wracking my brains for an excuse to get one. A member of the older guard here ran a cracking little Vitara/SJ tool van. Dean Lofthouse had his little electric tipper log wagon. You can’t put 4700kg on them like a Transit though.
  18. Fell it, pallisade fence the garden, inner perimter of pyracantha, small grove of eucalyptus in the middle, rent the house to cannabis growers, go and live somewhere with nicer/no neighbours.
  19. They can all be bad but Hermes are head and shoulders the worst. A friend experienced six months of Kafkaesque hell trying to get her stuff back from them. Great when they work though. I got a 15kg winch overnight from Devon for £16 the other day. You couldn't cycle that far for that money.
  20. Belt dressing. I've used it with some success on flat belts.
  21. You could live near the millionaires in a caravan. Would be a pain to fit all your tools in though. Easier between a few of you.
