  1. Wife and I have been to this for the last 4 years and enjoyed every one of them. As above it's more for the family not really a trade thing. Wood turners showing and selling their wares and The Council tree team and Rangers showing what they do. I watched the climbers and some milling being done and you can sample some bush food in the bit of a wood, pigeon and squirrel plus they build a pizza oven on site and cook in that. We've had a go at pole lathing and watched some saw carving, passes an afternoon nicely.
  2. Gimp mask and a ball gag ?
  3. My 4 ton splitter has given up on me and I need something stronger but preferably electric and not too costly. Do the 7 ton horizontal machines that look like mine have much more poke for some Beech my old one wouldn't even look at?
  4. And not in a Jimmy Savile way. I thought ethos was one of the musketeers

    Stihl 046

    It will last forever the way I use them, I only cut for the woodburner but I like to tinker with saws. I've been down to a friendly farm cutting for the woodpile with my 135 this afternoon. A local arb firm dumps there and it needs thinning out every so often so it's doing all of us a favour
  6. How far apart are the sleepers, is it a uniform distance countrywide ?

    Stihl 046

    I've just been cutting some wood with an 044 I put a new piston in. It's a bit big for a woodpile saw but it pulls like a train. Bit smaller than your 046 and I had to pay money for it and put a 20" War Tec bar and chain on it from eBay garden-hire-spares, it made me grin using it.
  8. What's caused that, is it rubbing or is something pulling on it and are spares easily available ? Good to find and fix a problem though. I had a moped with similar problem but it only used to stop when it rained. I just wrapped amalgamating tape round the manifold and it ran for years like that.
  9. I've got 33 gig of Seinfeld, all 9 series on my drive and I'll have to watch them again now to find that one.
  10. World of power, FR Jones, Skyland and Honey Bros all list it in stock. How far did you look ? All similar price about £560ish FR jones sells it without bar for £525
  11. When you're in deep **** it's time to stop digging
  12. Edited the post now. Posting on tablet doesn't work like the PC. It went off prematurely
  13. List your stolen equipment here makes it sound like somewhere to fence stuff you have nicked List items you've had stolen would sound less suspicious.
  14. The Rochdale paedophiles were targeting mainly white teenagers because they see them as cattle, racism works both ways and shouldn't be tolerated on either side.
  15. Is it the cover melted or is it chip getting hot and fusing to the plastic ? I've seen it on a few different saws and it scrapes off like a dust with the plastic still intact underneath.
  16. I think that would be going back whatever the assessor says. I've seen trailers covered in farm muck washed off and still in better nick than that. You don't need mordant solution on weathered galvanising only on fresh stuff.
  17. Updated on my 4s and it's up and running again. It's giving me pro tips
  18. I've noticed in a local park two old sycamores a couple of hundred feet apart have failed to leaf all down one side this year. They don't look well at all.

    Stihl ms260

    Clean the carb out if it's been stood any length of time possibly fit a carb kit with diaphragm and needle, set the carb to manufacturer standard (screw H&L in then open up 1 full turn usually) then tweak it from there.
  20. Spelt still wrong ? I'll believe it's still running when he posts a video of it.
  21. I'm just surprised you admit to playing golf with either hand, what kind of person are you ?
  22. I set fire to my overalls crotch using a 125mm angle grinder, a tool which I am comfortable using left or right handed just by unscrewing the side handle. Making a left handed chainsaw would be a major redesign process for the manufacturers and would probably make left handed saws prohibitively expensive.

    Ms200

    You'll struggle to find another carb that will work with the MS200 and where is the plenum chamber ?

    Chainsaws are not flying round a track through the cooling air and their cylinder fins are in a cowl, they need all the help they can get to stay cool. How much more performance do you need out of your MS200 ? Was your go kart air or air and water cooled ?
  25. Permethrin spec sheet here, it doesn't sound good for cats. Here's a list of different bites and what they look like
