Spot on. If you're going to grease, then do it weekly , to the point of squeezing out the excess dust and shit contaminated crap out, replacing with fresh clean grease. Wipe off grease nipples/torx bolts first to keep everything clean, and don't drag the nozzle of your grease gun through all the dust and gravel in your yard. Fail here and your just injecting grinding paste straight into the heart

Oooh didn't mean to do that... was just about to say one of the easiest places to clog up, and also easiest places to clear is the little hole where oil enters the saw bar, and then onto the moving parts of the chain. A small hole of about 2-3mm diameter on the upper part ofhe bar, about 5mm down from the top guide rail surface, where the bar is clamped to the engine. Shouldn't have to be describing this , but I'm beginning to feel that maintenance and regular care don't occur very often with this case.

Or bounce around inside a small workshop hitting every wall, ceiling and floor, at least twice, before disintegrating to all the component parts, some of which were never found again.....memorable!! Yep, don't trust an exposed clutch

Aww, nice one. Such a gentle voice from mr Brooks. A great era for cultivating imagination in kids. You had to be there!

Peas?......

It's hardly difficult to find that information, guess bots are less intelligent than we suspected

He won't be able to if you pull his sim card!

Why do guys do this? ..throw out a question , then fail to get involved any further. Is it just the sheer joy of knowing you've wasted our good , honestly given time, or is it actually a benefit to all and sundry forevermore, that we've unloaded our encyclopedic brains, to be harvested at some later time, if anyone can be bothered to read it then. Some people just have too much time running through their fingers.

Rowan tree health after pruning

I'm sure it will be eventually -
That's made my night, oh the mental imagery, exploded by the last line. Thanks 😆😆😆

I've come across these in collections and museums, described as stail engines

If that's his tether rope going under (and presumably, through and around multiple times) the log pile, he's not going anywhere for quite some time - and its only going to get worse over the next few days. Fine looking hound. - hopefully he's going to do something really stupid soon for you to entertain us with 😁

I find the 'smart chargers can't cope with seriously discharged batteries (I use them for electric fencing and will leave them on til they cant operate anymore - usually less than than 9v) and fail to recognise them as 12 v and will instead take them down to 6v. 3 or 4 minutes with jump leads off my quad bike (not running) or any other mostly charged battery brings the charge up to 12v for long enough for the smart charger to accept it and consequently charge at full rate, to completion.

I was asked the exact same set of questions from university college, Cork. When I couldnt give qualification, and only a rudimentary, generic risk assessment they concluded the only answer was to seal me in a Heras fence enclosure,and to opetate only at a weekend with fewer on site students walking around the work area. Another site at a major sporting and tourist castle renovation had exactly the same approach. Even though it was a construction site of a truly astounding scale they went through the vaguest ever risk asses and then again put me in my own sealed off enclosure. I didn't even have to wear high viz, but if I stepped outside I had to wear one. - I'd told the safety manager there was too much risk of snagging a flappy vest! The grunt I was given , employed by the company had to wear his vest at all times. I was there for 4 weeks, moving in and out of my enclosure only to arrive and leave again.

Not so much a case of the weight you're putting on them as, if they're bent when you bought them, even slightly, then so will every piece of wood you mill on them. Put them together top face to top face, if there's a gap at all between them you'll know you're not going cut to the absolute best possible.

No thank God, - what a bureaucratic minefield!, plus employing youngsters whose only ambition in life is to collect as many badges and titles of ill health as humanly possible, to exclude themselves from actually doing any job whatsoever. No I'm perfectly happy just being employed as the cooper. My wife is op's director for the whole place though and now frequently wishes she wasn't.

Nice idea using racking beams. They're tough as hell, though heavy. Beware they can and do bend (we occasionally get this in our distillery warehouse when we overload the centre portion). Not a worry if you're using new ones, but very possible ifusing second hand.

Well done, nothing better than harvesting practical ideas from YouTube and other sources, then making up something simmilar, or sometimes even better to get the job done. Good satisfaction from using what's available and creating something to do the job

So then when you find out others get away with perhaps 50% more than you quoted and won, suddenly there'll be 2 unhappy people?

So why you askin if all's happy?

Yep, these guys were great when I was milling with lucas mill. Made me some extra wide custom wheels for edging the carbide teeth on the circular blade, no questions, no problems, exactly to my spec, even to the grit grade, - good sensible pricing, fast turnaround.
