Undo a jubilee clip and fasten it round the coil on the downhill side of the compressor and use three instead of the two they sell as a set so you get a more even pull down.
-
It sounds like a glue stick for a hot glue gun, one of those would work I suppose and they flex quite a bit so you could bend them into place. I'll try that next time instead of cord.

Geese, Duck and Partridge don't usually come under the heading of vermin. Partridge season is September to February 1st.

Where does the dirt get in, through the grease hole ? If there's a grease point on anything I grease it.
-
I bought on on ebay ready filled with grease and it works fine. Take the end cap off and push the inner cover down to bleed it, it might just have an air lock.
-
It's nice for spoon carving as well.

Do you get a guarantee with them ? Oi'll guarantee you'll not see me for dust once Oi've got your money sorr !

I don't particularly like cats but I wouldn't wish them any harm. I am of the view that they should be kept in house like dogs and taken out on leads, I see enough of the birds they mutilate on my back garden and if it's in pursuit of birds when it gets stuck it should be left to get itself down and learn a lesson in the process.

The crank should be made of something hardened like nitrided EN40B so I don't think it would be easily drilled. Bearings are not expensive and you don't grease or lube them that often and they get enough chain oil to keep them going for a long time from what I've seen today when I had my saw in bits.

I was using the 135 the other day and the chain was spinning on tickover so I thought it was obviously the clutch. I've not greased the roller bearing so I thought I'd have a look at it and do the bearing at the same time. I used the cord down the plug and tried a drift but it kept spinning the piston no matter how much cord I tried. I made a spanner to do the job by cutting an old socket and welding it to reinforce the pins. It removed the clutch relatively easily. I put it all back together and the problem was still there so I took it to bits again and found it was the plastic oil pump drive sticking on the crank. Cleaned it out and greased the inside and it's all good now.

As long as it has the FC or FD rating and is self mixing you should be fine with what oil you have. The ISO is just another equivalent rating system.

Last year we had a garden spider which put up a web over our window every morning and took it in at night. I was catching flies in the house and throwing them on the web to watch it run out and take them away and wrap them up. It grew quite big with all the bluebottles I kept giving it and the entertainment it created was a nice diversion as well. None of the UK spiders bites are dangerous as far as I can tell, not even as potent as a wasp sting.

Bath spider I reckon Don't often see them in the garden, must have used all the hot water.

Dig shot or dog logs to you mate

I've got some well seasoned Poplar on the pile now along with some Birch and the Poplar smoulders and doesn't burn to ash leaving charcoal like lumps while the Birch disappears completely to a white ash. That is in a small Hunter multi fuel stove. It's usable but not great stuff.
-
Locked as in seized won't go up and down ? Undo the block studs and see if it will lift up to wedge in place then put a piece of bar down the plug hole and beat it into submission. Put some penetrating oil down there as well just to lube it a bit and try a spanner on the flywheel nut.
-
Stick a post into the floor and lower the back of the IBC onto it and it will tip forward. We used to tip metal shavings into skips with a fork lift at a foundry using this method.

Overcast, cold and damp with much of the same for the rest of the day

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.... I had to learn to use my left hand when I injured my right shoulder and found simple tasks like wiping and tooth brushing were a challenge. I swap between hands now when using tools like spanners, drills and welder and find it quite therapeutic sometimes but my writing left handed has gone back to a spider scrawl. I know a few left handers and find they seem to have a better grasp of the abstract and practical things seem to come easier to them.
-
If it worked fine for one day it might be unrelated to the work done unless something has come adrift like a little end clip or something. As above and see if it will turn over with a spanner on the flywheel nut.

If they hadn't thought of it before they can now go on the internet and find out how to track your car to your home where they can also retrieve their tracking device so it's a win for the thieving community.
-
You've drawn that on Good find really, cut some rings and get them preserved for hanging on the wall they would look good.
-
That would fill my back garden, never mind the wood shed
-
I had a piece of pond liner covering my wood pile but it kept filling up with water (clue is in the name I suppose) so I was donated a roof sheet this week and fitted that instead. It looks better now and don't have to keep tipping it out.

I think you'd need tie wraps, gaffer tape stretches a bit too much on it's own
