    The sidecar is on the wrong side for UK use, can't see how it passed an MOT

    Caravan and camping club has some pods on a few sites and they seem to be in demand. Glamping pods is another name they get called.

    My friend used to get his bits from Geeson's near Ripley, Derby. They used to have a lot of ex MOD and utilities equipment in.

    No I haven't but I don't think the one my mate had would have run a chipper for any length of time with any sympathy for the machine. The unloader cuts in at max pressure and any machinery running off the compressor can only run at the compressor's limit. I just recommended that there is a failsafe in there to protect the machine I didn't say anything doubting whether you had seen one running a 6" chipper so no need to get defensive.

    There's a difference between a compressor and a chipper. A friend of mine had an ex gas board version with cooking facilities and compressor built in and the compressor unloads when there's a lot of stress on it to relieve pressure on the pto. He used to use his for mobile grit blasting. Put a shear pin in the drive somewhere to protect it from over enthusiasm.

    This is just a Beech tree that is in the front garden of a local old folks home. It is fairly large about a yard across at the base and must have been heading the wrong way when smaller so someone diverted it

    This tree is on the High Street near us and it looks lovely at this time of year. I think it's a Whitebeam.

    My cousin used his wagon and Hiab to pull the hedge out when he was installing a fence.

    This reminds me of the "history of the tree swing" which is an engineer/business joke that has been running since the 60s or 70s. Here's the gist of it.

    You could use a couple of wide nylon lifting slings or just one for a tyre swing and join the rope to the end loop. Watch You've Been Framed for any pointers about where not to site it.

    Is that what a redwood looks like if you coppice it ? It's impressive.

    Can I take a piece to try out, I'll probably buy the rest when this piece is split and seasoned if it burns alright.

    Dropside tipper so it should tip out. Leave the sides in, get a tannoy fitted and get out collecting old washing machines.

    By the look of the welding they were looking for Pigeon nests Welder's coming out this I'm having a go at some of these

    MS200t Dead?

    peatff replied to sawboy85's topic in Chainsaws

    That looks like detonation damage from poor fuel.

    Death by chocolate gets a whole new meaning

    That's why they have lakes there in the Lake District.... (because it rains a lot)

    Stihl msa160t

    peatff replied to Stihlben's topic in Chainsaws

    It looks like an electric carving knife.

    If it hits your property your insurance should cover you, if it hits theirs it's their insurance's problem. This was illustrated on another thread on here a few months ago when the tree owner was shown only to be liable up to his own boundary. Will your insurance cover you with a tree that close to your property, it was a question on the form I filled in for my house insurance if there were any trees within falling distance of the house.

    You'll need some hefty primer or undercoat or it will just soak in and look patchy.

    Summer's here, sky full of Swifts and young Starlings squawking to be fed. Thunder forecast for later though.

    I don't believe HSE would strip a saw down and if they did how would they know it the ports were 1/4" oversize or the wrong shape ? If the brake works and the chain catcher is on there it's all good.
