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.

We have a 2.0hdi 2003 Berlingo car and it's handy. I had a go in a 1.9 and found it a bit slow and they are heavier on fuel than the turbo version but more reliable apparently.

The one near here got done by a Loadall. They hoisted the cash machine out and dropped it into a stolen Vivaro with the roof cut out. Obviously cleverer than your criminals. They should put C4 in, die packs not dye packs.

Near Chesterfield Jon. It stopped raining for a bit this afternoon and brightened up but it's rained again since. Looks like more of the same till dinnertime tomorrow.

Miker has offered the filter, who's going to give him the elbow ?

6x4 flat bed metal trailer with removable sides?
peatff replied to sandspider's topic in General chat
What car are you going to tow it with ? Unless it's a decent size don't automatically assume you can tow 750kg unbraked with it. I have Granddad towing on my license being an old git and tow a trailer tent which is braked and it is easier to tow than my little unbraked 4' log trailer when it is loaded. This is with a Berlingo with 1100 kg braked towing limit. -
It's been mild 12° C overnight but it's still the same now and it's been hissing down all morning.

I set the idle fast enough to keep the saw running while adjusting the L screw then turn it down to stop the clutch throwing out once it doesn't stall. I can't say if there's a setting for it like the other two screws.

I always repaired my own vehicles and the only thing I had done recently was a bearing removed from a hub I took to the garage. Any welding I do myself and always have. Garages are bodgers when it comes to welding they do the minimum possible for the most they can charge and slap a load of gloop on to disguise it. If your motor needs welding work it is not going to last you much longer. Start looking for a new van don't delay the inevitable and keep throwing good money after bad.

If I was closer I'd come and dig it out for £60 one afternoon. I dug a bigger one out of the garden here with a mattock and hatchet. Leave it another 6 months and it will be rotted to ground level anyway.
