Repelling Mosquitos and other biting insects

get some old sash cord soak in saltpetre overnight then let it dry then light it it burns very slowly the smell puts them off they hate it, so allways put it so the fumes come towards you well its a little it of smoke smells like rotten cabbages. or hang it not lit from your belt and that will put them off. -

i ue to sharpen garden shears as one of the jobs had a proper hollow ground grinder which ground the flat of the shears not the edge. hence they cut like new if bot better. i would think the same with grinder blades its not the edge but the whole face that needs grinding to get the hollow finish and will cut a lot better than just doing the edge plus will last a lot longer as its the face brought back not just the edge. if the tormec will do it and the jig looks like it will then worth doing if you have the machine. as pat says does not just do grinder blades but any sharp edge. had a earlier model and very good new ones a lot better
-
i would get ML to refurbish both a very good job and can beef them up if you want it done draw back is the truck is off road whilst they do them for you. but cheaper than new ones

there is a product called smartwater. it sprays fluid on them if they do break in with your post coode DNA then when picked up they glow like a christmas tree. with your dna so they know what they have been up to. some are now using hydraulic tools to pries open containers sheds. not a lot is going to stop that. just needs to be tight so they can not get anything in to prize the doors off. it comes to something that you have to spend loads to stop it being nicked

as other posts its a MAC saw sold by the sheds. neigbour has the eletric model of of it so must come from china. as for spare parts GTR may be able to get it going for you. it anoys me they sell these things then when they go wrong can not get the bits so most buy a new unit still thats how the sheds are as big as they are buy dirt cheap sell for a good markup. then sell you a new one when it fails. hope you can get it fixed

i have posted before get hold of your country watch team let them have the photo,s i believe you will have more joy with them than reporting it to the local police. country watch may not be able to do much at this time but it will be on there records and they may know who they are and have just been waiting for that vital bit of evidence to knock on there door
