  1. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/wjbzzy/your-phone-is-listening-and-its-not-paranoia
  2. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery don
  3. Looks handy. Got any pics of the the thing itself?
  4. Imho you wont need an updated oiler with a 20" bar. I ran a 30" no bother on my 66
  5. What's a throw saw?
  6. He'll have saved a pretty penny there mick, mustn't scoff
  7. Good luck!
  8. Ahem.......I am also a senior member and do not appreciate your tone
  9. They are just called oh twenties I believe, even 020, but never ms020
  10. Never slackened off after milling myself. Never snapped a chain milling neither. I suspect, if you now have the correct lopro sprocket for the chain, and you have a new chain you wont snap it. Potentially due to wear from wrong sprocket and multiple DIY chain link fixings you are having issues. Youd know pretty quick if it weren't oiling, assuming you are experienced with saws ( reckon so).
  11. Cant see that info on the app. Maybe you should just use that until you become mature enough to be a senior member. On my mobile it just describes you as a member, which gave me a smile.
  12. Do you know if you are snapping on the same links you are replacing? Looks like the refits have been manually peened ( is that the right term?) Close to both breaks
  13. I'd like to see the Mary agricultural on cutting and splitting some oversized stuff. Looks like it's designed to deal with bigger diameter stuff than they were running through it
  14. Correct. Laughed alot
  15. Hope you find a cracker eggs
  16. Dont know of any just now but if you hang about ours will be having pups in the next year or so. She is a deerhound/saluki/Welsh sheep dog/ greyhound. Dead quiet and a total softy.
  17. Nah, no idea, sorry, I usually just dont worry about it too much! Not had a pot off that looked really really bad though Edit: not that I reckon that pot looks to bad to me mind. Usually after a hone with wet and dry it will have taken a bit carbon of the top of the cylinder anyways
  18. Aye doesnt look to bad at all. Happy days
  19. Does look a tiny bit like small about of transfer on piston. Though v hard to tell from pics. If there is I'd prolly replace the piston as if your doing the rings for compression sake. Pot should clean up good.
  20. What does the exhaust side of the piston look like?
  21. Always easy find a good use for an old one. These are 25yr old at least ally camp ones
  22. One can only hope
  23. I mix my filtered wvo with rye chain oil 50 50. Seems to prevent it gunking up and setting at all!
  24. Some good reading here. And there is another good one with designs of frontier type DIY woodstoves and ovens from folded tim/ barrels etc. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/JF/425/20-461%2520-%2520Wood%2520Stoves%2520-%2520Ole%2520Wik%25202.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjLm-DK69vfAhWKyIUKHWjMBbgQFjAbegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2ae0wVUiXVNaiQ2AnyAXRs&cshid=1546869962294
  25. I like the sound of trying that way. Will let you know how I get on
