Think I might get one of them and put out petrol through it as well.
-
Thing is I have tilted the tank so the outlet is now at the bottom but getting a mix of water and diesel coming out. Bit confused why it's not one or the other.
-
Somehow large quantities of water have got into our diesel tank and we need get rid of the water. Is it best to syphon the diesel off the top? If so any recommends on syphons? Just ran off a litre from the outlet which is at the bottom of the tank and 1/5 was water! All discovered after killing the forklift which has not yet been revived. Thanks

I have a few other contacts but not tied them and was using Euro as they were proving the most reliable. Like to buy straight from an estate when possible
-
Yes Euro were straight with us saying they have to supply their big customers first. Plenty to get on with here anyway but hope they can get around getting us some loads in the not too distant future.
-
Yes I have cut a third of next years stocks. People sound surprised that we cant magic dry logs out of thin air. Yes we will just process that dry roundwood that came with a free unicorn
-
We have run out just as it looks like the UK is in for a freeze Price hike next year I think

Does the peak of regular helmet not protect against kick back? Seem to remember being taught this many moons ago.

Remembered one that I have seen mentioned as pretty good by Renewable John on here. The Yorkshire Dunsley. Think he heats a lot of his house with his and he was pretty happy with it last time I saw him.

The later. No personal experience but plenty of second hand. Rarely met anyone truly happy with their boiler stove but heard about plenty of problems. Running water through the back of the firebox inevitably cools the firebox temperatures resulting in a dirty and less efficient burn. There are one or two expensive models where the heat is extracted after the combustion chamber and these may well work better. Like these but boy does it come at a price http://www.walltherm.ca/

Felt an earthquake around 14.30 with everything rattling on the shelves. Apparently centred around Cardiff

Completely agree but there is one gem around at the moment. Not fall around laughing but great light subtle English humour the Detectorists is superb. Needs to be watched as a series to get all the in jokes.

Naturally drying cordwood down to 20% March to Nov???
Woodworks replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Not even close here Can just get our cut and split logs down to 20% in that time. Did process some dry cord for a client the other day and in all honesty it's the only dry cord I have ever seen. It had been there 3 years on a great site facing south, free drainage and very windy. Also had a the top of the stack covered. -
It appears to have medullary rays. Oak is the obvious choice but I am wondering if it's beech that has discoloured. Had beech roundwood go that colour when it's sat around for a bit

Seems an odd one but dont think anything has matched catching my first Salmon. I watched it follow and take the fly, then spent 15min playing it in. Only about 16 at the time and I still feel excited thinking back to it now. Just the smell of a river in spate can get my heart racing. For adrenaline filled excitement it would be windsurfing out on the open water and in rough weather. A combination of excitement and terror at times. One memorable day was some years ago having dropped my sail in the middle of the Camel estuary with large fishing boat bearing down on me. Due to the swell the guy had little chance of seeing me floundering in the water. Had to water start (using the sail to lift you out the water) hastily having recently acquired the skill but in much quieter conditions. Amazing how fear can focus the mind and got up and out the way in time.

There is another part you need if changing the bar. The mounting is slightly different

10min job if can budge the large allen bolts.

You will probably get him on the Navitron forum. https://www.navitron.org.uk/forum/

An insulated flue would most definitely help. I have read of something called a Ladomat or similar which controls the water running through the back boiler to easy over cooling of the firebox.

Not used Aspen and amazingly all my tools still work even if left laid up for a while
-
Just 8' stakes banged into the ground. Our ground is very firm so you can get away with the front ones only being in around a 1' and giving me headroom at the front. The first one of our sheds I made like that some of the stakes have rotted badly due the poor modern treatment so I would try to get chestnut or creosoted posts next time.

Is it possible to get a natural water repellent finish?
Woodworks replied to Joe_bradshaw's topic in Woodcraft Forum
To my knowledge no. In my experience there are no miracle finishes. The most natural by nature leave little cover and in turn give little protection. I know some rate Osmo but I have not had any joy from their finishes and I am looking at our coffee table I did with Osmo and the water marks on it's surface and the wood looks flat in colour. Most protective oil I have come across which imparts the least darkening is Tung oil but it will yellow the wood a bit. I mainly use Liberon finishing oil which brings out the grain well and offers good levels of protection if you put on enough coats to get a surface build up but then it looks less natural. Most natural. Wax but gives stuff all protection Most protection. Bar top lacquer but looks anything but natural Most of the oils will fit somewhere between these two
