  1. I had 2 working cockers . One called Holly and , yes , you guessed it the other was Ivy .
  2. I must be missing out on something ??
  3. Its called slabwood round here as well .
  4. My old Mum taught me that one in 1957 . ๐Ÿ™‚
  5. Reminds me of the " no touch " kung Foo master getting floored by an MMA fighter . The " no touch " master , when he came to , said he lost because the MMA fighter was a non believer ! ๐Ÿ˜„
  6. Dan . Why didn't you sharpen the chains rather than bin them ?
  7. I think the missile that sunk it was built in someones Ukrainian kitchen . ( which was built in the 80s ) .
  8. Top banana state of the art Russian war ship sunk by Ukraine " home made " missile ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  9. Sycamore is THE least labor intensive fire wood going IMHO . As said seasons relatively quickly , spits lemon squeeze , burns like ash or beech pretty much . I would have it all day and twice on Sunday if that helps .
  10. I always found that you could make more dosh on 3-5 little jobs than one bigggun that took the same amount of time .
  11. I might have a look if you promise me there are no silly rhymes about fire wood ....
  12. I like UPS coz Lynnette is our local driver and she is a complete honey with a fantastic bum .
  13. Peeps seem to have over looked the pollution caused in the manufacture of the batteries , the mining of the lithium , the transportation across the planet , and finally the disposal of spent cells albeit a certain degree of recycling that is involved . Just saying .
  14. I get what you are saying doobs but files are sooo much cheaper . The more you do with a file the quicker and more efficient you become .
  15. Just get a 2 stroke unit . No valve clearances to consider . 2 strokes make more power than the comparable 4 stroke engine . ( Moto GP used to be 500 cc 2 strokes , its now 1000cc 4 strokes ) I would go Husqvarna but I am slightly biased . As suggested the other alternative would be battery .
  16. I hate ladders . ๐Ÿ™‚
  17. Would these be compatible with two baked bean tins and a taught string ? ๐Ÿ™‚
  18. How old are you ? I say this not disrespectfully but just to point out you may not see the benefits in your lifetime , dependent on your age .
  19. The cutter gets hot , possibly cherry red , and then cools quickly = hardening . The cutter gets hot cools slowly = softer ( depending on how slowly its cooled ) Time served toolmaker . ๐Ÿ™‚
  20. Actually tempering is the process by which you reduce the initial hardness to a selected Rockwell figure . Do you mean you can over harden the cutter ?
  21. All that vit D is good for them ๐Ÿ‘
  22. Where does the money go from these fines ? To the government ? Probably pay the bar tab ๐Ÿ˜„
