  1. This pickaroon that I lashed up from a broken axe handle and a lag screw a few years ago. Just found it in a shed and wondering how I’ve coped without it.
  2. HMR is pointless. Replace it with a .22 Hornet. There are always loads of (excellent) CZ Hornets about.

    Stokboard

    Stokbord or Solway's own version? Is it the same thing?
  4. Pretty sure it’s a Bell and Carlson. Hogue are usually rubber and shit.
  5. Utilities hidden behind walls, skirting etc is moronic. How aesthetically shallow do you need to be to have them hidden, only to be unhidden to fix problems and then rehidden. Have the pipe on the wall so you can touch it to see if it's hot and so you can look at it to see if it's dripping.
  6. Ergonomics, modularity, mounting stuff. I'd prefer a bolt action for the lower profile, quietness and not losing brass but you're looking at Tubbs or tube chassis stuff for that, the latter of which you then have to make sure feeds.

    STHIL MSA 220 T

    It really pissed me off. I already use a 220 backhandle so the battery novelty wasn't enough to win me over.
  8. Anybody got an AR for sale?
  9. Scruffy but effective, like me. Does anyone know what the fibreglass lid thing is? Looks a bit like the top of a bio-digester that you see poking out of lawns. Pretty good size for capping a pallet.
  10. Good choice. 500 with 25 is lovely.

    STHIL MSA 220 T

    I likewise can update about my whingeing to Stihl. Someone fairly competent sounding from Camberley got in touch and was convincingly interested in my concerns. Whether Germany listen to him is another thing.
  12. Pull a bullet and put the case in the electric toaster for the wife to discover. She could also discover one with an electric vacuum cleaner. Centrefire primers certainly pop when sucked up.
  13. Drill a blind 5mm hole about an inch deep in some stout metal. Bullet down and whack the back with a hammer. See if either the hammer, the case or the bullet makes a hole in the roof of the shed. Could also blow shrapnel into your face, neck, chest etc.
  14. Whatever happened to Paddy the aircraft mechanic?
  15. Aware you're probably busy with the build (not to mention all the dogging, transgender gimp keeping, vegancentric, sex-positive fruit sports and similar degenerative pursuits) but I indeed would love to see more on this thread.
  16. I've often thought this when confronted with the dogma of the branch bark collar pruning cut. Why not stub off a branch at ten inches and let the stub rot rather than the union? Because it looks shit obviously but otherwise why not?
  17. Tradesmen who buy their children GAP outfits and playstations but don’t pass on practical skills absolutely appall me. Raising generations of poofters.
  18. Is there a thread with more of your machine on it?
  19. On further investigation, their website is shit so the prices could be whatever.
  20. Solway Board sounds similar to Stokbord and is cheaper.
  21. Stokbord if that helps your Googling, Mick.
  22. That’s a pic supposedly showing 6mm. Does indeed look ideal if it’ll take machine weight too. Would bend round shed edges and roofs nicely.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    Dug, in paradise, sniffin at the crotches of 72 virgins. Doug, withoot a co-pilot, struggling to achieve the same in Coldstream.
