What’s the new 261 combo?
-
You did. Missed your post. My apologies. I'll keep you/him in mind.
-
Yes but they're now gone. I didn't realise you were interested in some too.
-
Wonky's a handy fellow!
-
The other strimmer I was given is much newer. It's in far worse condition, more missing, more broken.
-
Thanks very much for all your help, Wonky. I'm just going to take your word for it. You've looked harder than I have. Why use a relic, doobin? Because someone gave it to me for free and I'm going to use it to strim 50 square metres (a two-hundredth of a hectare) behind my house about five times a year. My clutch lesson will cost me £5.91, cheap education in my book, and I'll frankenstein a head on from another strimmer I was given. I'll then only have the swingeing cost of a spark plug to amortize.

What made you say 220 rather than 160, 180 or 280? The drive shaft is 6mm square ended like that document says the 220 and 280 are but the length is wrong so how much can I trust it? What I really could do with doing is looking at the flywheel again, not a job for quarter to midnight though.

I’m open to any theory that makes it less my fault. Now I think about it, I had taken the drum off to track down a rattle. Perhaps it was already fully broken and held together by a combination of the spring, the drum and luck.
-
Thank you very much. I was going to look at the pdf later on the laptop. It says 4119R on the clutch shoes, and there are longer numbers beginning with 4119 elsewhere. 4119D is on the cylinder.
-
It’s a two stroke. Got it running with no more than a spark plug and fresh fuel then took two steps back by starting it with the clutch drum off. New clutch and a head (gear worn) and it’ll last me a while on the paltry amount of work I’ll put it to.

Neighbour gave it to me. West Germany on the cover. Any ideas?
-
Table insignificant. Well done for posting a photo the right way up.

Handcutting is for psychopaths, misanthropes and masochist perverts. Try a day in driving sleet (after thirty days like that and with another thirty to look forward to), cold mud ground into your hands, desperately waiting until you finish so you can drink yourself into oblivion and always wondering whether today’s the day you find that your coworker has hanged himself. Forestry’s not far behind warfare for desperateness.

You’ll see it described as copparding sometimes. I’d do it.
-
I’ll pull the stack out in the next few days and get back to you. Send me a PM if I’ve not got back to you by Tuesday night please.

I’ve got two inch alder slabs if that’s any use?
-
A mate recently bought a laser level for studwork, bricks etc from the middle aisle of Lidl. All very impressive on his kitchen counter. Useless in even a barely bright shed the next day.
-
Gut feeling is spend more money. I'd probably work out how much money you have to file off a chain for every nail strike and budget from that. I bet it's between £5 and £10 on a 36" or over. Ten avoided hits pays for a £75 scanner. Can you get scanners that will do nails in logs and also underground cables/pipes? That'd be worth investing in.

Maybe the UK should plant more....

Do they grow quicker than Sitka in a plantation? -

Does Nitens mill noteworthily better than other Eucalyptus? Everything I've read about Eucalyptus species is that they warp very badly. -
Whip and glue instead of a knot? Would superglue wick in like solder?
-
I've found that as you get towards the end of a chain, you need to drop the depth gauges more to get the same bite.
-
You struggle to start your own vehicles. What bloody use will you be starting other people’s?
-
Makes better use of upwards space if you don’t have the ability to stack other things too.

No worse dimensions than the mesh wrapped ones a few posts up and made of steel to boot. You could do triangular ones for thinner columns or pentagons, hexagons etc for fatter. All can tessellate and provide pleasing brutalism as a bonus.
