Really, how does a tunnel trap avoid catching polecats, hedgehogs or the reds?

I have had a dive bottle full of air since 2006, I expected to use it for blowing off saws on site but never did, can they be re certified? I cleared out the flat of a son of my late girlfriend after he overdosed. The police had purloined the air gun. If anyone wants to collect it I'll let it go for a small donation to his brother's 4 year old son whose dad died of leukemia earlier this year

On a similar theme have a look at this video: Are those Stihls at 3:04 clones though? -
Yes it looks like the whole tree has dieback rather than some fronds with blight or canker. It's a big tree so a bit surprising, some kind of aggressive pathogen like honey fungus??

I don't know anything specifically about this engine or carburettor. Could the main jet have become loose?

oil burning is normally blue or grey, sounds like a massively rich mixture which would explain both cylinders affected

It depends on length, straight 6' lengths will be about 30% air space but the spindlier they are the less wood. Longer poles more air space. Also sweet chestnut is very light compared with big hazel, oak or beech coppice. Processing small diameter poles that don't need splitting is slow.

Not a joking matter but 😂 Hope it gets better soon Pete

Brushcutter Advice/starting out strimming etc.

I suspect the blade will file a bit more once striking something a bit hard sets up a shimmy in it. -
Brushcutter Advice/starting out strimming etc.
openspaceman replied to Donnie's topic in General chat
Are you sure the correct drive washer is between the blade and the drive shaft. On my stihl it looks much thicker. BTW Whilst I always used the cup under the mulch head or tri point grass blade I did not with saw blade, -
That's inexcusable at your age 🙂 Whitelaw Brae is halfway between Badlieu and the Fruid reservoir

I am in a discussion about mounting for more tawny owl boxes in a local park. The owl people specify mounting the boxes to the tree with a foam plastic sheet between the box and bark with four galvanised steel coach bolts securing the 12kg boxes to the tree. This is a bit of an anathema to me so I was wondering about a cheaper than cobra bracing with similar resistance to sunlight to give a 10+ year life. I was thinking using it like the way we used hollow braid rope passed through itself to attach flying bollards, thoughts anyone?

15km due north of Moffat

Have you worked on felling the plantation in preparation for Whitelaw Brae wind-farm?

Sounds grim, best wishes

Hope he gets a decent barrister because that is an abuse of whatever tree valuation scheme was used even though it was reprehensible vandalism.

It isn't a squiggly it's just squiggly because I had no idea what it should be called.
-
That's what I said squiggly and definitely master left eye, all very well knowing what's needed another thing finding a way to do it on mass produced shotguns at a price I'm willing to pay. I discussed this with @gobbypunk but took it no further. I doubt I will ever shoot for the table again and never moved in the circles to be invited to a "shoot" indeed I am not the sort of person that gets invited, period. I would quite like to waste a few boxes on clays just to see if I can still hit anything. Anyway a cross over is a car that purports to be suitable for lots of purposes and is no good for any of them.
-
I'm beginning to think the same, mind I am a few years behind you. I have been trying mounting off my left shoulder and it doesn't hackle. I need a squiggly butt to bring the barrel up for my left eye which isn't likely to happen for my current guns and eyewateringly expensive for replacement.

Need help with Tree Identification / classification
openspaceman replied to GeddyMort's topic in Tree Identification pictures
I guess sycamore on left, cherry on right then weeping willow. possibly sallow in the middle somewhere. Need pictures of leaves and bud of each tree to be definate -
They mostly seem rated as 2000W constant with a much higher peak for a few seconds, presumably because it;s the semiconductors dissipating heat that's the limiting factor. If you charge from a modern vehicle with an "intelligent" alternator that is controlled by the vehicle ECU it will need a bit more than hooking it up via a simple split charger, a DC to DC charger may be required. Be aware that, ignoring conversion losses, at 1kW you will be drawing 83A from a 12V battery so the cable and connections will need to be good to avoid heating up, one reason I would go with 48V unless charging from a vehicle was required.

indubitably

William Clark & Son LTD Richard Gordon [email protected] are cranab dealers but I got 4510 diagrams by contacting cranab direct.

It's interesting how things have progressed since the beginning of this thread; back in the days I was contracting I used to run a 13hp 200A welding genset with it's 4kVA 240V windings. My wife and I could just about lift it into the Land Rover. Last month I had some site welding to do so I took my 200A inverter welder and a 5kW portable power station(30kg) with 3kWh 48V battery(38kg) and welded for about 30 minutes, I still had 70% capacity when I finished. It ran my 2kW compressor at home which the 4kVA generator struggled to start. I had to return the power station under warranty ( after 2 inverters failed to power up) and if I do it again it will be using a more modular approach but I think I will stick with a 48V domestic battery.

but for the TPO I would agree
