In a nutshell. What channel please ?

+1 for corrugated sheets, I tie round the stack with rope which gives a kind of nissen hut effect and slip of timber under one end so any wind blown water can run off.

Jerry Can (20 litre ) For Chainsaw Filling Up At Petrol Stations

If your leaving sitting about for a while Fuel stabiliser is well worth it. http://www.thegreenreaper.co.uk/b3c-ethanol-shield-236ml?gclid=CjwKCAiAyrXiBRAjEiwATI95mdD72Cd72EiHgeenOFOV -
Saw this a few times as an apprentice ? https://www.google.com/search?q=file+tang+injuries&rlz=1C1GGRV_enGB751GB752&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWisTqsYfgAhXGShUIHdRUA8wQ_AUIDigB&biw=1640&bih=756#imgrc=URQggoXg8xkGbM:

Me too, I was more thinking drills, chisels, planes and machine tools etc, cheers.

No difference at all...except to say that not all files are equal, there's a lot of crap tools out there and also much chainsaw chain is getting near to hardness limit of what a normal quality file can deal with which is why they have a shorter life than ..say if you were filing mild steel or many other metals. The thing is, of all the cutting tools I've used over my working life, chain teeth have the only edge I can think of that CAN be file sharpened....Mr Hewn's advice is bang on....good luck.
-
I see as the threads moved on that you are probably going for the gauge which is fine..... But the file your using is an engineers file, you are performing an engineering task by filing metal and these handles have been the industry standard for decades... .. the file is just tapped in by bringing the handle down on the bench whilst holding the file and can be easily removed if necessary. Cheers

Wouldn't exactly break the bank to buy one........though I do like the rustic version and up here usually use Rowan. Don't think the collet type would work with the tang on a normal file https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-Needle-Files-And-Quality-Wooden-File-Handles-For-Engineers/232598980934?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D55148%26meid%3D428ec9907c5246e78c31351943eecce4%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D232598980934&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226

https://m.huztl.net/Chainsaw-Repair-Tools-c3056.html There's quite a lot of tools on this site, potentially at a decent price, can anyone vouch for the quality ..or not ? I've found in the past that often the pattern parts look the same as the real thing but in comparison might as well be made of putty.

I think I got the PVA from toolstation...£9 for a gallon, it's got a load of other uses and as Peter said SBR is a waterproof alternative that's also very versatile and used a lot by trowel trades.
-
Presumably the stickered and stacked timber will be under some kind of cover ... but I take your point
-
Great word☺️

I came across similar on some heavily pruned apple trees a few years ago https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/apples/apple-crown-gall-treatment.htm
-
I've seen a few hedges that got fairly big, can't see the leaves to well but you might be right
-
This was about 20 years ago....I'm no expert, maybe I just got lucky.....I could see that the roots regrew in the bags but when planted they hardly put on any growth for the first couple of years and then came away strongly, good luck.

I have a very nice beech hedge that was salvaged after it was ripped out by machine where it was bordering a car park that was being extended, they were about 3 feet tall. It was done in the winter, I separated them and pruned the roots and stuck each one in a builders bag with some soil, they came into bud in the spring and although they looked a bit scabby I left them in the bags for a year then planted them out the following spring.... I did lose some but I recon beech will come back from really harsh treatment so it might be worth a try. cheers
-
Very nice...Is it oak ?..... I can't find my glasses ☺️
-
Not seen that one before either.....You've probably figured it's Italian.....According to my sister who translates Italian Segheria means sawmill and smontabile means that you can dismantle it, interesting but I can't find a price, cheers. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.dvaitaly.it/&prev=search https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOLgMuyXP6g

Ok then......who's all given there dna to Ancestry CIA.con ....then they've got the lot !!
-
That 2nd day stuff's really nice......even the defect looks perfect in design.......looks like it's already filled with alloy, cheers.
-
Thanks, yours just needs a red cape, great photo.......flying over a coastline or jumping off a rock ?

Lucy was pretty good for getting firewood..... But she got abducted.....

As my interest has been rekindled I just found this....which may be a better option... for me a dip tank is the way to go. Before now I never found anything that was non-caustic.....When I was in my teens I once tried de-coking a cylinder head in caustic soda.....ended up forgetting about it and just about all that remained was the valve guides and seats, ? cheers. https://dirtbusters.co.uk/product/1-commercial-dip-tank-powder-bio-booster-5kg

Ok, so I just found this supplier in the UK if anyone wants to try it. http://www.repairingproducts.co.uk/product/carbon-off-oven-carbon-remover-cleaner-tin-16oz-473ml/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAsdHhBRCwARIsAAhRhskfN29O5mWuCFzbUHoFC4CJMfVBjZGsKqctgVO1tfXbYq9rPAk6S58aAjiTEALw_wcB
