  1. Have you ever tried dribbling water from a garden hose through the kerf kind of like treating the wood as if it were metal you were cutting very dry stuff.....I mean you would never try to cut metal on a machine without lubricant / coolant. Normally when you cut wood with a saw it already contains about 30% h2o. It may of course not always be practical but from my engineering background to me at least it's logical, I recon that when I've tried this the chain kept sharp for longer, although waterproofs are required. TCT blades are easily and cheaply sharpened btw.....Cheers.
  2. Technically we are hydraulic, I feel lucky to have reached 64 without blowing a hose?
  3. I really like these goat skin gloves, they helped me when I had grip injuries......You sound young with a lot to discover, but RSI is very real for many folk with a heavy lifes workload weighing them down.

  4. Lucky bar steward.....? that type of testing takes a very long time
  5. So did you get to keep it ?

    You mean you can roll a fag with it when you run out of rizlas ?
  8. Was thinking about an 880 but this has thrown a spanner in the works....It seems that it's not Mtronic either which makes it more attractive to me. I guess it's a bit pricey but I've been seeing brand new 880 power heads only being offered from the USA for more. Thanks for the review?
  9. Just the rope....at least on mine which is only about 12 years old....and I don't have a link but it was probably within the last year but the original thread subject could have been anything..... from your pics would gravity not almost be enough to hold the flue in place with a little sealant and only the slightest tether, when it warms up the flue will expand and help .
  10. Well on this depiction it look like the screws go down from the top and screw into 2 small retaining plates which will be threaded, mine is the opposite in that they go up from the bottom with washers and the 2 lugs on the collar are tapped 5mm. I recon you'll get them out ok as their a bit toy town with a sloppy thread, only 3 or 4 threads. This has been covered before on here and although I was planning to beef up this puny connection which fails easily it was explained by someone with more experience than I on this subject that these screws are meant to be a weak link in order to protect the other parts.....although I did replace then with stainless replacements as they seemed to have rusted away. Now that you've put up that diagram I recon the bolt / nut going down from the top [ perhaps earlier ] is probably a better way of doing it if you can raise the flue to get at it.....I've got a telescopic joint in the first bit of flue as I live in a wood cabin which moves with the weather....your collar looks fairly well attached but it should be possible to do some sort of job from below. Cheers
  11. Check out this and scroll down for the customer review...maybe you have this stove that should have the 5mm rope Door Rope Seal Kit For The Morso Squirrel (1410/1430/1440) WWW.STOVESPARESLTD.CO.UK Quality Spares at LOW prices - Stove Spares Ltd
  12. I've got one of these and if I remember correctly I had a similar problem in that I bought the wrong 8mm rope, there's 2 types... ordinary and soft hairy for want of the proper name, it's the later you need probably it more flexible ...bungee like. Even with the right rope the door's a bit of a push when it's new... but you definitely don't want to force it as the door frame can flex putting the glass at risk. The flue is held in place by 2 small screws with large washers that go up into the collar from the bottom, there prone to rotting away, you need to remove the throat plate to get at them....also there's meant to be the same rope between the collar and the stove top. good luck
  13. Seems you can buy a new one....there's a whole range of tools branded Oleo-Mac Still made in Italy....Not seen one in use, I wonder what their like?

  14. Mine's real nice on an 18" + full chiz ?
  15. After watching the Prof Livermore interview on talk radio it led straight on to this one which I thought was worth sharing
  16. The voice of reason that Prof Livermore exhibits in that clip giving a complete balanced answer to the questions posed... whether he's right or wrong, is totally opposite to just about any of the one sided, half missing, unbalance information being broadcast in just about all news media that I've listened to over the time this fiasco has been running. Divide and confuse isn't a new diversionary tactic....not only that, but when listening to information on the virus broadcast by any official UK media it's become obvious over the time that they've even confused themselves to the point where they can't even remember there own previous lies .... To me it truly is an Idiocracy that today we're having foisted upon us and it sticks in my effin craw, they're controlling bastards and current technology is giving them the ability to force on us what they've always wanted, every aspect of life today has been contaminated with this pish ?
  17. I suspect the same, but having watched the video it seems to me that the man in the street has no idea just how far science has gone while we just get on with our every day lives. Whether or not anything that this woman says is true or possible I have no idea, and whether or not she has any credibility in the scientific community I also don't know, but the thoroughly comprehensive and extremely long character assassination that Stere posted would make it look like someone's legal department has gone well out of there way to discredit her.... I mean what she said about Mr Gates is probably true. ?
  18. I'd imagine that most folk can't imagine just what other folk are planning for us. I've a friend that keeps sheep !
  19. Just an expression stolen from the times of the plague and reused a used 100 years ago by the emerging pharmaceutical industry to rubbish all previous knowledge of natural medicine accumulated over centuries. Just like ' conspiracy theorist ' is being used now to trivialise anyone who has independent thought and dares to buck the party line.
  20. You just beat me to it ? And for all the mixed messages on how to treat, prepare or clean Nikasil , the guidance in your link couldn't be more concise leaving no room for debate, cheers.
  21. Me too ?
  22. I'd have to say that there's really no quick way to learn anything especially a subject with as many variables as you want to learn but as said you'll find just about anything you want to know on here.......all you've got to do then is put it into practice ?
  23. So they can't find a cure for the common cold and originally scientists were saying that a vaccine may take decades..but, here we go ...is no one even surprised ? I'll not be queuing up, but there's the problem, many will....yet another reason to divide society !
  24. I'm simply happy that you read the thing......to me any discussion is a good thing as there's so many live with similar injuries or conditions, and for sure as you said folk need to do more investigating, but It'll not be anytime soon I'd guess. The document to me was only a starting point really ...It took an escalation in my own probs and a lot of reading what others had to say before I decided to try it....so far I don't know what I was nervous about. The fact is that they've suppressed this knowledge since 1980 for probably no other reason than as a common salt it can't be patented.... Also the Boron supplements available in the chemist shops don't get a good crit as in having any effect in comparison to the basic salt. Cheers
  25. Definitely not trying to do that, only passing on the info.....it's up to anyone who's interested to do their own research or not, this stuff's got dozens of uses.... For treating milled lumber Rye oil also sell it in large quantities at a competitive price ?
