As new builds go, I’ve seen uglier.

Bored as arseholes and half deaf from 8 hours of 661 earlier. He’s not going to like going back for another five or six days of it.

What makes you think BT or the electricity people own these gubbins? I repelled an attempt a few years ago to steal my meter. Gave them a bit of fixtures and fittings law. I bought a house with something screwed to the wall. That thing is mine. Likewise my house came with some wheelie bins. Some joker had written ‘council’ on them. No no no. My chattels.

**************** em. Get a tank, drive it where you want and point it at them.

I only skimmed this a few weeks ago. That is a walloping big tree. ****************ing repeating post submission again. Make this site childproof.

I was reading something the other day about fixing a Makita drill trigger. So there are at least two people in the world who’ve had that.

The facebook algorithm evidently knows I care about you. Good luck. Worst case scenario, it’s probably nice and cool down your well.

Someone pinch me.

You pulled off a cylinder with poor plating and that the studs had pulled out of and replaced it with a £130 one that makes 120 psi. Your saw is still worth £40.
-
Not spending money on buying crap and then spending more money keeping it going to be left with something still worthless. A twenty-year-old Stihl 066 is worth £400 running. Your blue clone was worth £40 when it arrived.

**************** sake, you idiot. Don't waste another penny of money or second of time on it. Learn the lesson that it's teaching you and then give it to the next person who needs to learn it.
-
Well now I'm curious.
-
I’m pretty sure I bought super rather than ultra last time based on what you say. What’s the chemistry difference you mention between the Stihl greens and this Castrol red? Ester?

-
I do get that my criticisms are largely academic. Ten thousand disc woodchippers are going to work absolutely fine at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
-
Because the flywheel that keeps the engine at optimal revs etc is also the chipping disc. Change its diameter or thickness and you have to change the housing to keep air pushing/pulling properly.
-
Plus the drum is probably way stiffer than my model because it'll be a big monocoque running right up to the bearings at each end. Probably only half an inch of axle in free air to have a spacer or very light thrust bearing on.
-
Yeah, disc ones obviously work but if you had poor/undersized materials, poor/undersized components or just needed the best possible, why wouldn't you go drum. You could put different flywheels and pulleys on the outboard end of the axles for different engines without changing anything inside the chipping chamber.
-
I think you might have just convinced me to deviate from a decade of resistance and buy a combi can.
-
Not as good as Stihl. Too soft. I use MotoMix for everything except commercial firewood production (yes, I know, don't ask). I can burn 15 litres a day if I'm going for it. That's £25 vs £75. Ten days of that is £500 difference.
-
With other people in the equation, there's simply no way around writing on everything, rigorously enforced. No abbreviations. No, "I'll remember." No, "They'll be able to tell." No, "It's just for this fill." Fuel matches the label or get out immediately. One mistake and you could kill five or ten tools in an afternoon. THOUSANDS OF POUNDS. Very unfunny.
-
Poor phrasing. The edge of the disc isn't supported. Although no reason you couldn't with a wheel on the back. But they aren't.
-
Disc chippers are such a shit design. I mean, they work, but drums are supported both ends. Why wouldn't you.
