I had to mute it I got fed up of the girls giggling in the background. If it was near here they wouldn't have got a look in it would have been mine

There was a thread on this saw on the American site saying the larger p&c could be fitted without too much modification, just taking the cylinder skirt down or opening up the hole in the saw body by about 1mm, not too much work for the average modifier.

You could wipe your @r$e on 1200, get some 240

Just means you have to sit on a rock in the sun to get moving like the lizards

I did mine on the Berlingo a couple of weeks ago for the MOT. The back of the disc was worn quite a lot although the front was good. I could have taken the lip off with the grinder but I've had the car 4 years and only fitted a spring. When I took the caliper off the pads were still good but new discs and pads together is the best course. I freed the sliders up which was the reason the back of the vented disc was worse and rubber greased them and it took about an hour all in. It failed the MOT on a ball joint but that was another job and it's all done now New discs and pads cost me £54 so a good saving on £200 you were quoted.

You've had 3 years out of it (don't try to count the hours) and you fancy a bit of bling, just get one and a couple of new chains. A bit of retail therapy is good for you now and then.

Like my mate used to say, I'll go as high as you like if I can keep one foot on the floor.

They're not real pros, they only have a two section ladder I like the way they leave lots of pegs to help with the speedy climb. Personally I cut a few more off because I find my ladder snags on them

It's got timber and pro in the name how can they not be professionals

Mine is a TimberPro lookalike. I haven't messed with any of it and it still sounds like a trials bike.

He runs the saw on it, it's cheaper than Aspen

Our little Hunter stove has a 8mm steel body and top and cast door and grate bars. If a stove is getting hot enough to buckle steel it wants turning down as it is dangerous. Cast iron can crack instead of buckling but again if it's getting that hot it is badly designed.

It's £584 inc. vat on forest and arb according to their website or is there a different one on there ? I had to look out of curiosity as it would have been interesting at £480. It didn't take 5 minutes to find that and post an actual link
-
I remember an incident reported nationally with a similar scenario where the wife was holding the ladder and was killed when the saw hit her after her husband fell.

You only use pure argon for aluminium or for tig welding. Don't waste money on it when you don't need it. Stainless is weldable with ar/co2, pure argon gives no penetration and a tall weld profile on steel as it is inert gas and Mig (actually MAG) needs an active gas co2 (metal active gas hence the correct name) Albee gas cylinders are from Air Products and have an integrated regulator and are a good solution if you don't use a lot of gas.

If you've got bits left over it means you've improved on the original design

I bought a cheap 25cc Chinese top handle from eBay for a tree in the back garden to save me from having a heart attack using the bow saw. It's a big Birch and there's still some to come down, it had 4 trunks and I'm thinning it down to one. I have other dangerous tools like drills and circular and jig saw which I use one handed and have not been trained but I still have all my limbs and digits attached. I believe that some common sense and a few YouTube videos will get me through most things. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oCDcTxFUkk[/ame]

Argon + co2 ? I just bought a 20 litre SGS cylinder 5% mix for £147 no rental but refills are dearer. I used neat co2 with my little Kemppi mig for the last 3 years no problem but ar/co2 does give a neater weld. RTech do a good back up, you should be alright with them. Whatever you get check it will run from your electricity supply. A friend of mine tried a Miller and it tripped his supply, needed 32 amp.

That's an expensive trowel and bucket Plasterer I know never works after 3.00pm and often only does 4 days a week and when I asked him why he said it's because he can't manage on 3 He does get the job done though and will start in the night if he can rather than work later in the day. He doesn't work for an hourly rate either.

It's all that running that keeps their weight down

6x4 flat bed metal trailer with removable sides?
peatff replied to sandspider's topic in General chat
Not noticed the width to make any difference but I know short trailers are a pain to reverse. They react to your input too quickly then you can't get them straight without going forward again. -
The trouble with completely idiot proof tools is that they don't allow for the ingenuity of complete idiots. Just when you think you have come up with an eejit proof solution along comes a new kind of eejit.

Next door had ivy growing up the garden wall and it was coming over and invading our apple tree. He wanted to get rid of it so I volunteered to help. It was cut off at the bottom and top where it came over then I stood on the top of the wall with a sharpened hoe and separated it from the wall while he pulled it away and it is horrible dirty stuff and full of wildlife.

Don't call it a blade or you'll get barred Tidy looking saw there.

I seem to remember a race a few years ago when Rossi fell off twice and still got a podium. There had been words before the race and it continued onto the track I think. Lorenzo wants him penalised more so he can't win the championship, put him at the back and take all his points off him as well, make him carry a passenger as well I think.
