I’m also trying to work out whether a tall tower offers an airflow advantage over a wider, squat one.
-
Would there be enough airflow to the middle of a cage made from four (landscape) heras panels?
-
Starter motor relay trigger circuit rigged to always be on, engaging the magnet in the relay? That would make sense if a second switch starts it.
-
Aye. Sell them to Matty and I’ll hopefully have a 44 from him.

Carrot fried noodles. Couple of reduced bags of grated carrot (just past the turn and fermenting slightly) into a hot and oily wok. Garlic, chilli and ginger. I’ve taken to cutting my ginger julienne because I like the idea I’m sophisticated and you occasionally get a nice chewy bit. Loads of turmeric, watered in with some boiling water that dissolved the dregs of a jar of honey. I thought the honey might offset the tang of the gracelessly maturing carrot. Undecided. Noodles, salt and pepper. I’ve taken to grinding my pepper in a manual coffee grinder to get it coarse enough. My other grinders are a bit dainty. Serve in a bowl I’ve used several times before so avoided the photo reaching the stained and disheveled edge. Would probably work well with egg and rice and less turmeric and garlic as a sweet ish breakfast dish. Maybe with a dollop of yoghurt or similar like the very loosest attempt at a carrot cake.

I guarantee you know a recipe that involves drowning them in cognac or something though.

Thank you very much. Please quote my username if you do.

I’ve got an 039 with the same thing (apart from I run a 25” bar on it...). Would you be so kind as to make a short video on the bench, pointing at the different bits you describe please.

My knee was killing yesterday after a walk (relatively arduous but nothing I've not done before). I suspect it was from when the dog did similar to me. She charges past, brushing afgainst my leg, except once I turned round to see where she was at the exact moment 35kg of her came past at about twenty miles an hour.

I assume the ministry reserves a block of registrations for future imports?

I made about a hundred cuts 4" to 1.5" in fresh birch earlier. MSA 120 used half an AK20 battery.
-
I've just bought a D reg motorcycle with the last three numberplate letters DCK. Obvious jokes about riding dick etc.

I've got the smallest homeowner range battery saw and the smallest homeowner range petrol saw, both Stihl. I've been using the petrol one for nearly six years and the battery one for a year or so, both of them light commercially, only me using them. Keep them sharp and don't abuse them and homeowner is fine. In fact I'd go as far as to say that the homeowner stuff is better in many circumstances because it's so light. I can one hand my 120 battery backhandle at full reach.
-
Go battery. The smallest Stihl one will be fine. You’ll umm and ahh about the charging and inconvenience until you use the thing. Six seconds is about all most people need to decide they need one.
-
Aspen/MotoMix. I’ve slept in the van next to piles of leaking saws without discomfort or event. Alternatively, put them in a box. Some sort of wheelie bin probably suitable.
-
This is like tennis.
-
Nice one.
-
Clogged filter?
-
There is a box now I think about it but it’s about minus twelve outside so I’ll have to check tomorrow. You make good points Dan. I also held off grinding after remembering the mistake I made with a tape measure. I was using the tape and noticed the end hook bit had some play. “That’ll affect my measurement!” I thought. So I forged it solid. Turns out they’re meant to have play (it accounts for then thickness of the hook when pulling the tape out over something or pushing it up against something) and I’d been too clever for my own good. I later discovered a well known television blacksmith made the same mistake so I feel a bit less silly about it.
-
Don’t think you’re being clever by using the size up to get a tighter seal. I did and I got a worse seal.
-
I was about to put it in the vice when it struck me that someone paid money to put them there so there must be a good reason for them. Or someone’s making the jigs out of reclaimed materials and didn’t notice/couldn’t be bothered to remove them.
-
150hp twin. Bloody hell. What is it?
-
Well done. The difference between a bad mechanic and a good mechanic is that the good mechanic doesn’t give up. There’s always a way.
-
On one of those cheap vertical chainsaw jigs. Three little stubs of threaded rod sticking out. Nothing attached the other side so they’re there deliberately. They look like they’re going to catch on the post you screw into the log. Or do you want some drag?
-
Oats, dried fruit, nuts, honey. It’s like baclava without the hassle.
