    Oil on rope

    Lid came off oil today and covered my rope rope Now I need clean my rope. What do i do? Give it a Long soak in the bath with washing powder? Don't want to risk the washing machine as it a 45m and think it'll be a tad heavy. I think I've got some nikwax cleaning fluid for jackets and spoke to my mate who sells it who said it's the same as the rope cleaner (he got that from the nikwax rep) What do you recommend?
  2. All you can do now then is have fun trying
  3. I'm doing the Dad bit and have been for 4 years now, and I love it always managed to get 2 days work in a week. Got easier as my little girl got to age of 3 as you can get 15 hours free nursery care. And it's enabled me to get 4-5 days in. All in all it's worked out far better for us both and better off finacially with the cost of child care
  4. A nice shiny snorkel kit for the hilux. Well chuffed
  5. I use the silky sugoi great saw with straps on the sheath to strap to my leg, don't have a problem with rope wrapping round it. As for cutting myself learnt 12 years ago how sharp a silky is straight across the index finger

    Ms181 problem

    Got myself a 181 a couple of months back and find it a great little saw as long as the chain is sharp. Think I've just managed to run it in as it seams far better this week. I've noticed I'm using it more than my other saws at the minute might be because it's new
