  1. how do you frustrate an idiot ? tell you later!!!
  2. milwaukee......curently the best on the market, 4ahbatteries, new version comes with 5ah, and theyve just released a new 9ah heavy duty battery in the states, the drills are as powerfull as mains ones and the screww guns bang in 100mm screws all day
  3. SNH, a group of university educated muppets with no real idea of the real world, everything they touch turns to sh1t, if it says it in the big book we read at uni, then its the correct way to do it, and all the rest of you are wrong
  4. this old cookie of ag registration keeps popping up, and everyone comes up with the same, "my mate says, vosa says, joe blogs says", well its quite simple, go to the current version of the road traffic act and see what it says with regards to use of agricultural registered machines......THIS IS THE ONLY WORDING THAT APPLIES..... not what vosa, yur mate, or even pc plod thinks, and the only changes in the last 10 years are a speed increase for tractors to a whole 25mph, but only in england and wales, and a relaxation on the mgw of some of the previous sections. If you really need to find out get off your but and do the research, phoning vosa, or the dvla, will only get you the muppet at the other end of the phones opinion , NOT the actual law as it applies. there are NO grey areas in agri road rules, they have all been written down in black and white in the RTA, and very few ammendments have ever been made
  5. welcome to the world of FISA, and a few BIG contractors pulling the strings.......you were warned!!!
  6. blowing a gale and p'ng down, its like a winters day, never mind the 1st june
  7. wd40 is a waste of time, get yourself down to toolstation and get some of there proper release oil, when you start do do them, a bit of heat and a good wire brushing on the threads will work wonders
  8. have you not tried the snail cam shaped holders yet Teed, they wrk well on odball shaped large logs
  9. ordered a new milling bar from Rob on monday after damaging one , and its here today, wed, before the postman...very big thankyou to yourself, Rob, youve saved the day..
  10. google parquip, small outfit,much better service, and a lot cheaper, or howford hydraulics, similar setup to parquip
  11. you could have problems getting 7mtr lengths, 4,9mtr is std, where you based
  12. normally greenheart springs to mind if its used on sea/coastal work, but it doesnt look like that, what did it smell like when you were cutting it?
  13. if you google yankee sawmills inserted blade saws, youll turn up quite a few suppliersthe system was very popular up until bandsaws became popular. you will need to find the size and type of both the holder and the insert, and the "set" pattern, watching these type of mills in action is mesmerising, but its only when you actually see how much of the blade is unused that you start to see why they fell out of favour. good luck on your quest, and have fun
  14. a little digging on the registers will get you all the information you require, police forces, courts, councills, (athough some have gotten wise and are now non limited componies, a little more difficult to find, but look for cheif execs on registers, they still show up) the major political parties, united kingdom ltd (dont believe me, look it up), every one of them are out to make a profit off our backs.....power breeds corruption, absolute power=total corruption
  15. the police forces in the UK are now ltd companies interested in only one thing, making money, theres not a lot to be made investigating crimes when time can be better spent harrasing and fleecing motorists and sheeple in the cities, we are slowly returning to a asystem where, unless you pay for private security forces, you will have no protection. Our caravan dwelling friends realised this years ago and started to make the best of it, the eastern europeans are just following on on there heels. unless you start talking protection of your own property into your own hands, you are going to keep getting fleeced, and even if it comes to the use of force, be prepared to go there
  16. our local waste site started a booking scheme, any van, signwritten car, or trailer combination, had to book a time to dump waste.....started taking my rubbish in the mog, stroppy council git started ranting and raving, I simply pointed at the sign and asked him to show me, in writing, where it said no tractors, and that first thing in the morning I would be going to see his boss about his attitude to members of the public at a public facillity
  17. after many frustrating years of dealing with company H&S tw@ts, I have developed a method of dealing with them, after doing a risk assesment for a job, I get in touch with the H&S executive (the real deal) and ask them if its ok, sofar not one has required anything added, in fact some have been termed a little to in depth, I then stick it in to who ever I'm doing the job for, and if they come back asking for more, I ask under what authority, and the mention of fraudulant missrepresentation, remember these idiots are company employees, not H&S employees, and are only trying to justify there jobs
  18. all hail the nanny state........lol
  19. agrimog

    Yew timber

    inch, inch and half, and two and half, this will allow for some planing to finished size, and also re-saw if requried, mill it, stack it, and strap it under cover, but with good through ventilation
  20. naer cast a cloot tae may is oot.......its scotland we live in, I've seen it snowing in mid june, never mind april,
  21. logosol is a norwood, they import them into the UK, there is plenty of small to medium bandmills on the market at the moment, but as you get to larger and longer, the price goes up, I ws standing open mouthed today looking at a double slabber mill ...built with 2, yes 2, stenner 48 band mill heads.................
  22. no schools to train anyone in woodwork anymore, I sugest you try and find a carpenters shop, or furniture repairer and ask if anyone could help you out, you might even be lucky and find an old school window frame maker.....and no the bad news, I just picked up a Sedgwick GW3 spindle moulder today, cost me a whole £200, ok needs a little tidying up, but what a bargain
  23. there is a constant ongoing debate about what oil to put in mog transmissions, the only constant is that it MUST be a GL4, and NOT GL5, syntrans, same oil as the engine(ex military), millars synth, the recomendation from mercedes is SAE 80W/85W
  24. before you go and buy an inverter, which will hammer the battery life by the way, find out if you can get a dc-dc adapter, these are available steping up as well as down
  25. and cos there tractors......boris's stupid rules dont effect them
