  1. agree with steve, as woodworkers, they were good plasterers, I've seen better work coming out of school woodwork classrooms
  2. go synthetic....no finishing problems there, save the timber for some nice furniture...lol
  3. take the whole lot back to jewson and demand your money back, sale of goods act, products must be fit for purpose, this timber obviously isnt, make sure you kick up plenty of stink and threaten court action if you have too
  4. how long have you been cutting with a chainsaw
  5. aye Treequip,brings a whole new meaning to rock and roll.....lol
  6. your going to nee to look at some form of front suspension lockout for that, the us military mogs with the front loaders used hydraulic shockers wit a lock system, some of the german stuff uses a bar that locks the front axle rigid to the chassis, and you definatly want the factory lift kit fitted for heavy front atachments
  7. manufactured by heinz.......57 different bits....lol
  8. apologies there Difflock, that used to still working in old school, forgot that most "young 'uns" dont know what thous are, I still use rods, poles, and chains, just to piss of the young trainees I have working with me sometimes( yes I can be a crabbit old bugger some times) , a quick conversion for metric/imperial estimates is 1mm=0.040", close enough for quick stuff, Graham thats a nice haul you've got there, that genset is worth more than what you payed for the whole package, where you going to set it up, would be nice to see it running and cutting, how about mounting it on a chassis and having the ultimate mobile bandmill...lol
  9. what deems them not suitable, have they got a ce mark on them, and where does it state that a particular type MUST be used, and dont go citing loler and puwer and H&S without backing it up with wording that is actually enforcable
  10. the writing IS on the wall for stihl and husky, as more and more of there saws go electronic and cant be user serviced, the profesionall user will move away ...to echo, makita, and anyone else who will still produce a user servicable pro saw
  11. on a 4" wheel there will be a barely discernable crown, probably in the region of .015" to .020" at the most more would lead to cracking on the band
  12. two part epoxy thats used in the aero industry, called redux, or rivet them using sold rivets, again aero industry standard
  13. alcoa and century are two companys that do extrusions, there are some out there similar to logosols top rails, and the next time your near a fire engine, have a look at the ladder beam on the roof, its a very fancy "t" type section with guide rails on it
  14. get hold of an aluminium extrusion catalouge, whats out there will amaze you
  15. its oak, how much you going to give me to take it away, ask again when its sat seasoning for a couple of years
  16. stihl PMX on my milling chains, and depending on what I'm cutting, oregon on the softwoods in the forests, and a preference for stihl on hardwoods, find they stay sharp longer, but no real advantage on soft
  17. ask in your nearest body shop if they've got a vinyl removing disc ( its a round disc of squidgy rubberlike stuff that goes in a drill, and it takes of vynl signwriting like shi* of a shiny shovel)
  18. looks like a bitza, where did you find it, nice 406 mog in the background
  19. the colouration and markings on the bark , plus the orange colour of the wood point to rowan,
  20. looks very much like your mounting a cherry picker on the back
  21. just curious, how many climbers actually work with a ground squad where someone is qualified for arial rescue
  22. as a very rough guess..........its a bit of tree wood..........lol
  23. cos not being an 8-5 type of person means I start when I want, and finish when I want, doing what I want, when I want, if I want, so I cant blame anybody else about the job, and realised a long time ago that lifes not dictated by a clock. now when somebody asks me the time, it's either light-o-clock or dark-o-clock, and lunch times when my belly rumbles for food.........life is sweet
  24. chipped, dried and sold for smoking meats, imparts a delicious tang to the meat
  25. theres about 20 different types of tufnol, called brands, depends on the use what the makeup is was very popular as an insulator before plastics became so abundant, also as wear strips, spacers and bearing bits, largly been replaced now, but still pops up in some strange places, be carefull of the dusts as some of the glues and resins are formaldahyde based, google whale brand or swan brand tufnoll, but theres many more
