    Which chainsaw

    That was my intention woodEd it only cost me a tenner reckon I can get £50 for it
  3. The bay is full of idiots who dont like to lose auctions, once sold a set of pop riveting pliers for more than 3 times the price of a new pair....that did make me cuckle
  4. Could be a thermister in the motor, these are put in so the motor cuts out rather than burns out, a motor rewinding firm would soon put it right.
  5. Paid £28 for 13kg at the weekend, might give you some idea of price for 47kg
  6. Calderdale industrial museum has open days in july, the Piece hall has a few good shops and sometimes a small market, for a decent pint go to the Three pigeons all 3 are in 10 mins walking distance,Hebden Bridge has canal boats . Shibden Hall should suit both of you, gardens and museum. Just stay well clear of bradford and have a nice stay

    Which chainsaw

    Ha ha expected this kind of reply but I should have added that they are the clubcard exchange vouchers that have to be used in the garden section
  8. This is not a stihl v husky thread. Just had £60 of tesco vouchers given that have to be used by wednesday 10th, decided the only thing worth having was a cheap ( and more than likely nasty ) electric chainsaw. I am thinking about the Red 2000w or the Einhell both are the same price £70. Which would you choose? Buy Chain Saw from our Saws range - Tesco.com
  9. Have a look at these,scroll to bottom page. I want that MR2 THE SHOOTING-BRAKE & WOODIE'S GALLERY
  10. Would like them but they are just a bit too big to go in the lathe, like your reg no. btw
  11. What prices?
  12. Like the way you have done the lettering, might save a bit of time if you print it all out on one sheet of paper, this would save you having to space them yourself. Been thinking about getting a dremel router to do similar jobs
  13. very neat work to say its free hand, What did you use to carve it?
  14. Just had a look at my whitney punch and they look very similar to what your wanting. The relief on the shaft measures 4.5mm. there are lots on ebay if these will fit
  15. never force it always use a bigger hammer
  16. Just watched him on the news ........totally agree with you
  17. Dean Lofthouse has just posted a thread about these if you search his posts you will find it. Also there is a post about aldi or lidl selling them this week.
  18. You could try to season one of your other pieces in water. Not sure how it works but from memory I think if its left in a stream fully immersed the water eventually seasons it. It does sound silly but it does work.
  19. You could try spraying a can of wd40, wait till it starts to disolve then wash with a jet wash
  20. Only burnt connie the first year I put log burner in, gave off great heat,seem to remember that it was split in early spring 10" long and was ok to burn same year. Swept the chimney and only got a carrier bag of soot after 8 months of burning.
  21. Dont tell Ken Hom
  22. Always burnt Connies never had the luxury of any hardwood, cut mine 6" long and split them, no matter what size they, are dry in 6 months and give great heat
  23. Hickory is normally used for shafts
  24. The hardest part is getting the briquette out of the mould you wont be able to push it out by hand I used a 3" x 3" mould and had to knock them out with the hammer shaft. If was to try again I would make the mould with angle iron welded around the base so this could be used as a support bracket and so use the press to extract the briquette. Hope this helps
  25. Interesting reading. BBC News - Establishing UK tree seed bank 'crucial'
