  1. Yeah a 3mm offset on the peg holes
  2. Lovely. Is it for you or a customer?
  3. Where are you?
  4. Ive tried 2 types of makita battery copies and they were both initially great but both gave up totally and suddenly after about 14 months so stocked up on genuine
  5. Air is much cheaper to fit not more expensive in electricity. But like an aircon unit in reverse. I would avoid. Here's a couple of pics of our System
  6. We run a100kw atmos with a 5000 litre store. It certainly is a lot of work. Ours gets loaded about 3 times a day in winter, but as its a shared house I only have to do it once a fortnite. Gets lit maybe once every 4 days in summer or not at all when it's hot as we have solar hot water too. My opinions on the atmos are that it's a bit smokey when loading etc. Generally easy to service but could be improved. Good customer service for spares, although I never deal with them as one of the guys I live with speaks czech. My sister has an eco Angus. 2000litre and 30kw I think and I think that is a better quality boiler although both have their benefits. Another friend has a farm2000 which is great as you can stick loads of stuff in there. Whole pallets etc but it's way bigger than you need. Don't underestimate how much work it is. It's alot of logs and alot of filling. Not great if you are not always at home although you could easily set yours up to only need lightning every 3 days for 2 or 3 loads if your store is big enough. If I lived on my own I don't think id go down that route. Especially in a full renovation.. My choice would be, loads of insulation. And under floor heating for back ground warmth with a decent wood burner or two. Under floor could be run from a gasification boiler if your set on it but gshp easier and similar set up costs although gshp will be more expensive, it will be cheaper to run if you value the firewood you burn at commercial rates.. This is way less work and much easier amount of timber to manage. Consider timber frame, straw bale infill, and timber clad, or even better load bearing straw bale for your extension. Cheap fast and great insulation and nice and eco in a woddland setting.
  7. I could mill it as it is if I couldn't move it. My preference would be to pull the high end 2/3 of the way down so I'd still be Milling down hill but not down hill quite so much.
  8. Seems generous
  9. Id mill that in a day with the lucas if the root and crown were gone and the stick was snedded. £500. I would value the seasoned boards at £1500 to 3k. Depending on quality. Assuming that is that the sick is good.
  10. It would also be easy to make a mini mill run on plunge saw tracks
  11. I will add this is a good machine but cut rate is way slower that a standard chainsaw in a mini mill. I use this a lot for curves but if I have Slabs to resaw i tend to set up the lucas to do it. If I had a mini mill if probably use that for long straight cuts. If you don't have a big mill like me then the choice is between this and a mini mill. If you have an old circular then this is a cheap, Quite accurate way of dimensioning big Slabs. But if you have a small chainsaw then you could have this and a couple of Rails for the same money.

  12. Just make a plate yourself to convert it. If your not sure how there's plenty of how toos on the net.
  13. What's with the drainage report?
  14. I fitted a prazi to a standard skill saw as I had two. They do a couple of different models depending if it is worm drive or not. There website tells you compatability. Chains are standard, so cheap. I made a base for my skill saw so it runs on my dewalt guide tracks. Great tool for cutting curves in beams too. No oiler but I just spray it a bit while I'm cutting.
  15. Would be nice to see it restored
  16. I have a similar looking multico machine that is ace. Paid £120 in reasonable nick. Do you think it would fetch £100 scrap?
  17. I had the sword saw on trial some years ago but opted to buy one of these because it cuts quicker and is a fraction of the price Prazi USA PR2700 Beam Cutter Non Worm Drive: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Free delivery and returns on all eligible orders.

  18. Looks good for a bench top machine. Has it been laid up outside?
  19. Great to hear from you Alec. Missed your input here.
  20. I think this thread should be deleted along with many of its contributiors. I rarely post on here these day because I can't be dealing with the massive lack of respect many members have. Can you not see that you have turned a thread about how bad it is to call people names etc into a thread where you are calling people names. Then people who think they are not included by the op come back and call the name callers names. Takes two to tango, don't feed the trolls and have some respect for your selves and each other.
  21. Lovely. What's a coin like that worth?
  22. 1 more to say. Surely it's a lamp[emoji23]
  23. Ain't that the truth.
