Thanks adw

This should do the trick
-
Had the brake band snap a week ago and left the bits together on the shelf until this morning when I fitted the new band. Bit embarrassed to be honest as not prone to having bits left over
-
Yes not sure when it broke off but I noticed as I was really forcing the lever to release the brake and it would bend down instead of going in the direction of the spring. Can't release the brake as it is. Current plan is to shape an offcut of ally and epoxy into place.
-
Will have a look thanks.
-
Thanks. Did see that but wonderd about the quality of non Husky parts.
-
No thread in that hole.

Just replacing a broken chain brake on my saw but couldn't release the chain break. On close inspection the casting has a bit missing. I have taken a picture and it's right in the middle of the picture. Any thoughts on repair or spares?

Changing the chain break on my 346XP and gained a screw No idea where it's come from Help

As said buy Guss have a look at wheeled strimmers. We have a fair bit of rough grass here and if I stay on top of it a mower (Stiga Multiclip Pro 48) copes but miss a few weeks and have wet grass and the mower is stuffed. Bought a DR wheeled push along wheeled strimmer last year and it smashes through most things but for an acre I would get a self drive one.

This any good? Prejet Cookers for Aga conversions to oil pressure jet or 13 amp electric.
-
There was a conversion for a more efficient oil burner something like snugburner which was apparently far more economic to run.

Just came across this and thought it might be of interest https://woodgears.ca/dowel/making.html

Lots of good basic camp sites like the two near the base of Tryfan but think wild camping is a bit of a no no in the park Eryri - Snowdonia

Depends on what size and length. For short ones plug cutter can make them presuming you have a drill press. For longer ones I just route a piece of square wood to a round using a router and radius cutter. This style http://www.eagleamerica.com/product/320-9005/woodboring_-_plug_cutters

Go on Holiday Matt Wish we hadn't done it. It's OK on the firewood but killed our processing work
-
American black walnut is expensive. Last time I bought some I think it was around £70 cubic foot but this was some years ago so undoubtedly more now.
-
Might be workable but not convenient. The crates go in the field with the sheep and get relocated each year to let the ground recover, extra fences could prove a problem but will mull it over Would like a neat solution on each crate if possible hence the pallet wrap idea.
-
Couldn't agree more
-
Come on mate. I tried it on our sheds and the logs got wet. What else can I conclude? I also said if there is a gap between the netting and the logs it does work but netting on an IBC crate leaves virtually no gap
-
We are very exposed so the netting does not cope with horizontal rains. arboriculturist You think the idea might work then?
-
Tried it on some sheds this year but the rain did get through onto the logs before the front row was cleared. Seems to work if there is a reasonable gap between the netting and the logs but when close it failed.
-
Only thing showing signs of life here is the sycamore
-
Agreed if I put it on when the logs are wet but most of our wood for next winter is already cut so should be dry by autumn, the wrap would go on when the logs are already dry to keep them that way least that's the idea.
-
Had problems this year with driving rain blowing into the bottom of our IBC crates of logs (they have lids). Was considering wrapping the bottom half of the crates with pallet wrap when the autumn monsoon commences. Wondering if this will work and if the pallet wrap will last say 4 months before UV breaks it down.
