  1. I’ve had to resort to a scaffold tube before, bit sloppy but did the job.
  2. Yip I would be trying to make it using a pillar drill, hacksaw, files and marking blue,
  3. My favourite way of rust removal (just done two vices) is electrolysis, 1/2 cup of washing crystals from supermarket, old fashioned battery charger, bucket with some water, couple bits of wire connect it all up and 8 hours water all the rust is floating on the top of the water.
  4. Great thread gents, I’m impressed and now want a 3D printer, don’t know CAD though so would have to be a learning curve my old brain would have to climb.
  5. I presume from your post here and other similar style posts you are trying to judge the commercial viability of supplying such products from Eastern Europe. Nothing wrong with that, just trying to judge what the point of your posts are.
  6. I ain’t changing from using my own kindling, because it’s free so why would I buy wool fire lighters?
  7. Well that’s that stove jinxed then isn’t it🙂
  8. Just having a google, look up a UT320D, might be of use, can’t say if it is any good as I have not used it.
  9. You could get get one of the cabled digital thermometers the type that are used on the likes of bbq’s. I have the probe stainless steel cable tied onto my stove pipe work. It is either 250 or 300 deg C it goes up to, but as mine has a back boiler on it I struggle to get any serious heat into the flue pipe when burning wood, although every now and again I will do a coal burn if it is very cold and or it is time to give the fire box, pipework and chimney a good roasting.

    Dawk

    I mix it with rhoddy, birch and sycamore as that and willow is what I have, no probs at all, it’s free so it’s good and it burns, jobs a good un.
  11. Just a thought and I might be talking rubbish, but another benefit of keeping your revs on the low side is that the cooling fan (if it is direct drive) will be going slower and so spray up less water around the engine.
  12. Yip it will just be a case of raking through the very large box of power supplies that I have and seeing what is 15A or over.
  13. Bare cable ends, the positive lead is fused at 20A with a car style fuse. The 12V demand is only big at start up so any car, leisure or lithium jump pack battery should do the trick.
  14. Car battery will do just fine, it has an initial 15A draw to heat the glow plug then it goes down to a couple of amps. Using a spare car battery just now, I intend to use a 12V 15A power pack once I rake through my stuff as I am fairly certain I have one.
  15. No but might get that when I buy my next one. just ordered a battery from Amazon for the remote as it is not one I’ve have an MN27.
  16. Fired up the heater today, just had it on my workbench so not in it’s proper place yet. Brought my workshop up from 12 to 17 deg C in an hour, not too noisy but very few things are now as I’m half deaf. i like it, works a treat so far.
  17. I like that, what’s the story regarding it, it is the base that intrigues me although the top is fab as well.
  18. Like that^^^^ The smell reminds me of cigar boxes from my childhood.
  19. Just changed the rubbish fuel hose that was fitted for a proper one and fitted a fuel filter, expected to have to do that after watching a couple of YouTube vids about them. 1st observations are: Loads of sharp edges, sliced a bit of the replaced fuel hose to make a grommet for one edge where the fuel hose is routed. Case is a bit flimsy. However for a £100 delivered I certainly can’t complain, providing it works. Hopefully get some more time to muck about with it shortly. So far impressed with what I got for my money.
  20. Look what the delivery man brought me today. Your fault eggs😀
  21. Lucky you didn’t go at about 11 o’clock because if it is anything like our local chemist it is full of fine looking fellas in for their Methadone.
  22. Not on FB, any decent sellers? just so I don’t try buying one from a scammer
  23. You’ve convinced me, I fancy one of them diesel heaters for my baltic workshop
  24. Eggs isn’t that misbehaved.
