  1. I m sceptical in that I reckon some of them aren't up to much. But had good results from silica, arnica , and a handful of others which names I forget. Agree even if they are a total placebo, placebos still have a measurable effect.
  2. Well good luck. I advise not ignoring it and pretending it's gone away if it hasn't or keeps coming back for bit. Hope it gets well fast
  3. The shake in the photos was only the start sadly, I thought I'd taken more pics but no. Middle board had a crack that by the time we had finished it it opened up enough to get your little do get in. They were 3 inch slabs though and you g straight to a furniture make who will season then slice the wee burrs up for inlaying eta so hopefully the shake won't matter too much as not much was in the burrs. Jonathan, while I've got your attention, how would you slab some rippled syc? If at all?
  4. Don't know why black thorn but defs seems to cause more infections
  5. Motorfactor may be able to help. They may have a spec for the glow plugs and how many could be a clue
  6. Did some burr oak today with lovely new stihl lo pro ripping chain. Started out very excited but sadly things for worse and worse timber wise. Disappointingly as the burr got better and better the shake became alot worse. Still hopefully useful to someone
  7. Thus not owning a single autotune saw and having a 1996 hilux. It'll catch up with me eventually I guess
  8. Somewhere In Russia there will be a downloadable hacked software for this that will work fine is my bet
  9. A pal of mine had this. Took about 6 months of hand getting inflamed etc. Eventually they did surgery and removed the smallest bit of thorn which had worked it's way into a knuckle. I'd look at things which will draw it all out rather than antibiotics as it will keep getting infected if there is a tiny bit still in there. I am extremely sceptical of homeopathic stuff. However I have used silica for getting out things like angle ground tungsten flecks from the eye, blackthorn and splinters up the nail. I was surprised at how quickly the offending foreign body removed itself. Also soaking in hot extremely salty water is excellent
  10. Certainly picked some fair weather to spend 6 weeks camping.
  11. Often they are below injectors if you can find them
  12. Just seen it's tibre 46 oil. Whatever that is. Reservoirs to be brimmed?
  13. Can anyone advise on what sort of hydraulic oil to use? Seems to have two ranks 1 each side of rollers. Should these be full like brimmed? Ta
  14. Yah but if you were used to buying ash beech oak birch syc etc, and you got a load of pop you'd be gutted
  15. No idea how bylaws work. Be Interested to hear more about them. Seems a shame if things like camping, rights of way/byways are being eroded further. Been racking my brains for somewhere to get out and camp by a river/lake/sea with the family in this heat. Not many options unless you like caravan parks. Scotland have got a pretty healthy attitude to land access and right to camp etc
  16. I had a whole winter burning softwood about 8 years ago. I don't sell firewood. when it finally dried out it burnt as well as Sitka, hemlock etc. Not stunning but if I'd bought it at soft wood price as logs personally would have been happy. So you sell softwood logs atm?Could you just mix it in with that?
  17. I have a rayburn which does our heating, hot water (supplies washing machine and dishwasher hot water also) 4 rads, and a lot of cooking. All my wood is arb arisings from my work. We have an electric oven and gas hobs used occasionally in winter and a lot in summer. We us a on big 54kg gas bottle a year sometimes it lasts longer. Out leccy Bill is 75 to 125quid a quarter. Usually by 50kg of coal mined from Alston just down the road per year for those really cold days. Sure I save money, but it is some graft to cut and stack enough logs to see us through a wheelbarrow of mixed hard and softwood a day all winter. If I were buying it in I suspect it would cost a fortune
  18. It's almost better he didn't tell you that! Truck sounds ace. I have just reverted to a mk3 hilux and wish I had never messed about with newer (read early 2000) things. If the trucks a belter it's worth saving I reckon. And hasn't done so many miles. Let us know how you get on with it!
  19. Pics please! How many miles on now? Is the chassis unrepairable? Possible to get one fabricated?
  20. Nails are a definite no I highly suggest hiring a decent 6inch chipper and the m500 or similar . They will be very different machines.
  21. I seem to have enough 25 and 36 inch 404 bars for 084 076 880s and not enough for 660. seeing as i destroyed a nose sprocket recently of a 404 bar Thought I might save a few quid and fit a 3/8 th sprocket. Seems it's not commonly done. Potentially the 880 bars a pretty heavy as well..... Thanks for yer thoughts
  22. Aye, thanks for posting
  23. Yep was thinking they are 1.6/0.63 so should work....
