Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
roys replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Look at the size of this beauty that I came across today.

Made one very similar to haironyourchest, except mine doesn't have any music. Found it easier than the saw horses from the manual handling point of view. Made from an old sleeper, some old fence posts and some M12 X 180 coach screws.
-
Yes loads of it, as agg said earlier, wooden work tops need loads of treatments and loads of maintenance, too much for my liking.
-
Beech would probably be a better and readily available. Nice and tight grained.

Scarpa boots my favourite, when I started walking the hills 30 years ago, I spent about 2 hours in a local independent outdoor shop, trying on all the different boots, it was Scarpa Mantas I settled on and have bought them ever since. When I put them on it is just like putting on a heavy pair of slippers, never had a bit of foot probs on the hills with them.

The 4 mile walk to the beach at Sandwood Bay near Cape Wrath, pitch a tent, bit of supper and watch the sunset, tremendous, wonder how often they do the bombing runs?
-
Yeah good advice.

I am not a professional tree climber, done a bit of rock climbing, if it was me in your situation I would be using my normal 11mm dynamic climbing rope, a few short slings, a set of quick draws and my mate belaying for me, and I would be up that tree getting my toy back �� Do you know the basic techniques or have a mate that does, where are you?

May June is my favourite time in Scotland, nature has sprung back into life, weather although defientlaly not gaurenteed tends to be quite nice, kids are still at school so tourist attractions are not busy. I like West coast as well from the bottom at the Mull of Gallloway right up to Cape Wrath at the top. Buy a tin of Smidge keeps the midges from biting you. Keep us informed as I live in Scotland and always willing to help out if possible and available.

Good pics Bet the horses need a good tick check after that.

Interesting project. You certainaly would not want to be taking that suitcase to an airport, try explaining that one:)

Changed batteries in a 1/2" impact gun today, it stopped taking a charge, new set of batteries from eBay, and soldering iron out for joining 16 X 1.2V cells together. Pic shows old set, new set now on charge.

Got anymore details please? Stubby beat me to it
-
Just had a look at your website Graham, nice hedge laying work, like it, don't see much of it where I am.
-
Are we talking about drill cleaning or hang over cures
-
Interesting, How did you stop the dodgy buyer getting away with it?
-
That's a cracking arial you have on your near side front wing there Silky
-
If you end up down the south west coast of Scotland next week, and need a wee dram, bed for the night and a play in my woods, rearrange order to suit, then give me a shout Silky
-
Vices are expensive, so I wouldn't scrap it just because it has some dings and a bit of weld splatter on it
-
I'm with you on this one simonm on this one, you are paying good money for a machine that is by what I understand is made in low volume, so if you like hand made. So what happened to pride in your work by the persons making the machine and where is the Quality Control.

Fortunately it was just one of the standard cutting discs, think they are 3mm, thing is I had just had one of the thin cutting discs 1 mm I think in it. Knew It was a good one when I looked at the wound straight after I had done it and saw the skin layer, capillary layer and then through the fat layer, quickly emptied two satchels of saline into it, then put an Iodine mesh on (brilliant things) then wrapped in a field dressing.
-
Made me laugh, guess I deserve that.
-
Like the letter rack, might copy that.
-
Had a dressing on it for four days after it happened, took that picture on Sunday one week after it happened. Sorry for the thread derail

I did go to to A&E but they said they couldn't stitch missing chunks.
