What’s this interesting material coming out of my stove?
openspaceman replied to Mr. Ed's topic in Firewood forum
Reminds me of when a Welsh student told me how to say "pleased to meet you" in Welsh when I was to be introduced to my Welsh tutor 😉 -

Yes but it was only the stuff with dimples on one side that exploded. I guess it was steam trapped in the cement. -
When I volunteer with the Ramblers on footpaths, under the supervision of the local authority, those using the battery brush cutter have to wear hard plastic shin guards. I thought it was OTT but...

We got given a box at the Albert Hall in about 71, cannot remember much about it but he wasn't bad. His style went more to his roots as he got older. I certainly understand how a rocking boppper wouldn't get excited with his music but for truly depressing Harry Nilsson did it for me.

I bet, who pulled it out?

Why ever not? 15 years ago I spent months with an Ahwi in a 100 hectare plantation taking out the rhody in between the trees with a skid steer. The follow up treatment was good and last year the ecologist told me there was none to be seen.

Shame it wasn't a woman, apparently they can multitask and safely keep their eye on the task as well as the camera.

Who is the person intent on getting the action shot? I guess the customer took the video?

I have never seen one but because it is a boxer engine, each piston moves out at the same time, it should be very well balanced and low vibration. Because the crankcase is shared between each cylinder and the crankcase pressure (as each piston is on the power stroke) still acts as a scavenge pump the saw is not piston ported. So the air intake past the single carburetor is controlled by a reed valve on the crankcase.

I fail to see how a hole can be retapped , I agree with @Jase hutch buy a new inner.
-
The taper lock pulleys I had to deal with had 4 holes but the thread was in halves, i.e you could use the half thread in a hole to either force the inner from the outer or to screw the inner into the outer, depending on which pair was used.

I am very glad to hear that as I moved my two cars to them and took the recovery.

I have no idea what the carrying capacity might be but with HSE and LOLER requiring scaffolding for the simplest of tasks, which previously just required a ladder, there are plenty of opportunities for a small amount of scaffolding.
-
It is a scaffold transporting lorry so the weight is centred over the axle and it carries fixed but long lengths.

Kohler command 38 pro efi fueling problems.
openspaceman replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Large equipment
Second video shows it working on one cylinder and the other not firing and fuel spurting? I'd say the high pressure connection between the fuel rail and the injector has come adrift in the manifold assuming it is at all like a car. -
14 tonne Nice outfit

Did you explain to the passenger it's always the nearside occupant that gets killed by an over exuberant driver?
-
Doh I see now, you cleaned the red paint and put your own handle. So it's probably a more recent one if it is Bulldog. I still like it.

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Perenniporia fraxinea or more likely Rigidoporus ulmarius?? -
I am most taken by the one in the last picture of your original post, what is the maker and style? I have one laminated billhook, Stamforth Severquick, which only shows up because it has been hammered on the back of the blade.
-
I remember seeing an early demonstration of a becker in around 1988, impressive at first but soon blunt? I had the same thoughts about the Dipperfox, how do you keep it sharp and what weight does it need to feed it down? With a conventional TCT cutter tooth you can normally keep going through something nasty and then swap the tooth for a sharp one.

Do you mean brush axe, horrible bent metal head with a straight removable blade that never hits at a sweet spot and rattles when you hit a branch?

As they are expected to fall out of orbit after 5-7 years I wonder what the refresh rate will be.
