    Had 2 batteries go last week . One of my tipper trailer and an old duff one I needed to get shot of anyway . There are some scum bags about who it seems will go to any lengths . Sorry mate . Put a strait bit of pipe in as others have said . You never know at m.o.t. time you might get away with it .

    I understand about the heat going up the chimney but when its been alight for an hour or two all the bricks ( old clamps they are called ) that make up the surround and the chimney breast are all warm to the touch . When you come down next morning they are still warm . . I put a big old lump of holm oak os similar and it keeps in . just stir the embers i bit of smaller ash or syc and away it goes again . Can't fault it really.

    I understand most of what you are saying . I have a plain and simple open fire with a very good draw on it . Apart from innitial light up ( a few mims) I cant tell , from the out side of the house , if its alight or not . Above the pot , on the roof I can't see smoke at all . Come indoors and there is a nice warm fire with bright yellow flame . I assume this is good .
  10. Stubby
    Yes and probably yes though not sure on price .

    Don't know what chipper you have but if its a Jenson 540A like ours then it could be the feed roller speed dial . We have ours all the way out mostly but after a few weeks it creeps back to almost shut and displays the same symtoms as yours. If you got the same just wind it all the way out again . It has a numbered dial but its just a progessive valve really . right out is fastest feed right in is stop .

    I have heard there are problems if you switch to and fro between aspen and normal mix . Any truth in that ?

    Its all good . Cook it gently to keep it tender . Eat it with another one and anything you fancy. Have a couple of sherberts first !

    I'm all for it I love sport and what a babe in the hurdles ! . What worries me is the security cockup and the ammount of dosh spent on a new shooting ground just for the games that will be dissmantled/ bulldosed at the end . Why not spend the dosh on Bisley , the queens range , and host it there ???

    Get him to tidy his room first . If there is any time let in the six weeks when he has done his room then get him on the drag !

    Saw troubles

    Stubby replied to SHENK34's topic in General chat

    When they say "its knackered" do they mean the pot and piston are scored because there was not enough oil in the mix ? When you took it back did it still have mix in the tank ? If it did it can be tested to check the ratio . Sounds odd that your mate is using the same mix and his saws are o.k. You need specifics really . Its knackered is a blanket statement .

    You makes I fair chuckle Jon . Thanks !

    My mate up the road ( MJ Forestry) says a bag of saw dust gives him enough hot water for a bath when he chucks one on his stove .
  23. Stubby
    Mmmm . Don't see em as just got to crack on . The lumps come up next morning . Itch like buggery !
  24. Stubby
    Nice one ! . Sorted !

    I had carpel tunnel syndrome in my right hand wrist . I did not think it was due to working with saws but to do with my construction . At the time ( years ago ) I was fit , strong and quite muscley . ( Sad old git now ) I have small hands and narrow joints ( knees wrists etc ) Accentuating my once physical look . The problem is There is not enough room for the tendons and nerves to pass through the wrist area ( c. p.) and when you exert ( pump up ) there is nerve compression which leads to numbness and loss of feeling . Have the opp . I did . Day surgery . In and out . Sorted . . Wish I was young and strong again !
