I`m sure you`ll enjoy it no matter what way you decide to go about it, all the best. -
hi, you can shut the vents on the vertex, cheers

Macpherson replied to ccharlie's topic in Training & education
hi charlie, i don`t know anything about special training but you sound like the kind of guy who can overcome obstacles, good luck. -
hi, there`s a couple of 357`s ,spares or repair, on ebay. plus a new set of cases with all the gubbins in, for a not bad price if you`ve got all the rest of the bits in good nick.

hi, looks the same as some stuff i took down recently which i thought might be cotoneaster cornubia , cheers
-
hi, I would imagine that I have a lot less experience than you , and most on here, but I have learnt to be cautious around ash since I witnessed a very nasty incident with a big old tree some years ago when it all went wrong, thankfully nobody was hurt, that`s all I meant, cheers.
-
Hi, I agree about the ash, it won`t last outside and can be very unpredictable to fell, a dismantle is prob safest imo. Alder is supposed to last well in wet conditions, or standing in water as piles, but I don`t know how good it would be structurally. Cheers

Don`t know about canvas, but I`ve had several lorry type tarps made to measure out of the second heaviest material, so they were`nt two hard to handle, as many re-enforced eyes as you want and the tie ropes spliced on. the last one was 7 x 4 m, an eye every 500mm, about £120 and has been over a shed for three years so far,no sharp edges,!!! pretty good value really, plenty of ads on fleabay you just have to weed through them. Cheers, Bone dry:thumbup1:

I use Stihl picco micro on a couple of wee saws and found it to be fine, perhaps it`s what he`s cutting, maybe the woods dirty ? cheers.
-
Hi, a great coincidence yet again, just picked some of these today, now I know what to do with them, thanks. The nuts are all in clumps of 5 though and the tree`s heavy with them. I`m almost sure that this is the first time this tree has produced a crop, it`s more of a proper tree rather than all of the rest of the scrubby hazel that`s in the same very overgrown hedge, aye, back in the morning before the squirrels:biggrin:
-
yep, it`s a double strap , there`s a few different sizes on e-bay, cheers
-
Hi, I recently set myself up for milling, a 48" alaskan and all the stuff new + a low hours second hand ms650 and easily spent more than double that, bite his hand off, cheers.

-
yep, oxy-acetylene , the universal spanner, good luck.
-
That`s what I mean......maybe if Honda made them the concept would work..!!
-
Aye, I read that one and I can see where your coming from, but all I was meaning is that surely it must be possible to make a satisfactory, reliable 4-stroke engine that can do the job, after all who would want a 2- car these days.
-
Yep, your probably right, but it`s an innovative idea, somebody will prob make it work when the patent runs out.
-
Hi, just googled it so you should be able to download it or view it online, cheers.
-
great tool,imo !!
-
mosi-guard`s great stuff to:thumbup:
-
Yep, Smidge is just about the best I`ve tried, for the highland midge anyway, put it on the dog to, don`t know about the horse.
-
I like to make every sweep cut and I like to swap sides and stances regularly so my old body is strained equally in all directions so I prefer a double sided blade normally, but, having said that from a fatigue point of view, swinging the damn thing about all day, there`s a definate case for the longest cut at the lightest weight which is probably single sided, so you need both, cheers:biggrin:

I just use the old battery out of my last car which probably wouldn`t start a car now but it takes enough charge to run the grinder, back street garages usually have piles of them sitting around just find one that still produces a spark and your away, they`ll probably just give you it
