  1. Yes Paul I agree, this isn't the best scenario to comment as I did. Personally I try and fix allsorts of things, some that maybe beyond me. But I love having a go and usually succeed and learn on the way. If you are not sure, get a professional. ps, I hope what you do in your own home has something to do with you.
  2. That's a bit patronising, if you don't play- you don't learn. If you kill yourself and your family that's another story.
  3. Sorry. I don't know the brand names but I have used two types of fire sealant, one that dries hard and one that doesn't set and stays flexible. The flexible one I find is best because it bseems to last longer the other dries up, cracks and falls out. Hope you find that useful.
  4. I only know of the sealant that they use for fires that don't get hot.
  5. No.
  6. To answer the question, my answer would be its right. There is no problem selling your old kit if you want to. If somebody wants to buy second hand equipment that they don't know the history of and risk there life, that's up to them. Personally I wouldn't.
  7. This should have been the first question

  13. Buckling? I would say the tree is putting more wood on to counter torsional twisting forces and/or possible internal decay at the bulging part. Just my guess- interested to see what others say? M
  14. OK, forget that! everyone knows its called bottle butt. I was just trying to add something to this good thread and I failed badly. Ill get my coat.............
  15. This is what is referred to as ''bottle butt'' Right Tony?
  16. My view also
  17. I have done a few trees in rivers/water. Once I had to go to a massive Beech tree that had gone across a river, the first day I spent cutting it up and stacking the brash and cutting the logs into manageable pieces to be winched out and up the bank. It was an awful job, that night there was torrential rain and the river raised its level by two feet and when I got back there wasn't even one branch left! It had all gone to the next county I'm not religious but someone was looking over me that day
  18. Live Oak - Quercus virginiana

    Yes I know the procedure just I understood what he was saying a bit differently . When Spud wrote : then the L screw is then adjusted to the correct point after winding it in to highest revs and then turning it out again- I thought he was talking about the LA Screw after turning the L and R's out one turn- But I suppose the same applies to the LA screw as well. Never mind I know what I meant
