  1. They couldn’t start it till mid Jan. I’m hoping to fly my extremely handy brother over to do it between Xmas and new year.
  2. New Transit arrived. Got a quote for €5k for an arb body. Problem is they want it for 3 weeks. So I’m exploring other options.
  3. But they haven’t monetised it here yet, that’ll come.
  4. Agreed WRC or Thuja puts out little heat.
  5. It’s all bollocks isn’t it? Some buzzword that companies can throw out there to get us to part with money. Like Pride, Halloween, Valentines and other assorted nonsense, they won’t be happy till every week it’s ‘buy something for this or you’re a Scrooge’ week. They’ll be trying to dump thanksgiving on us next.
  6. I imagine it is, millions of acres of birch, easy to process, regenerates while your back is turned. Or am I wrong?
  7. I googled it, and I have that, not seriously, but definitely the lumps in the right places. From what I read, at my age, it won’t become an issue.
  8. I have some sympathy with you about the size/light thing, but leaves? Come on! just buy a rake
  9. Yes, ignore the 500i, not relevant. As a stand-alone saw at that price, it looks promising.
  10. Anyone seen these Kress saws that keep popping up on FB? The bigger one looks like a serious contender for a place in my truck.
  11. I bought one. To be fair, Redwood went above and beyond to resolve the issues ignored by the French suppliers. But it was a happy day when I saw it disappear down the drive after selling it.
  12. The top roller set up on Forsts is rubbish.
  13. On my 485 the gap is 1/2 mm at the vertical anvil end (inside of the flywheel) I think they’re made to have a slightly larger gap the other end of the anvil for some reason.
  14. It doesn’t identify from photos though (unless I’m missing something) So it’s inferior to Picture Mushroom for example.
  15. Sviatoslav has an opinion, it’s not a popular one, but no one’s getting injured, he’s not spouting ’hate speech’ or whatever Don’t like it? Then argue it, or don’t bother, but let’s not act all outraged.
  16. Not saying it’s not real, but there’s a lot of AI fake stuff on the net atm.
  17. And you’ll find me on the bonnet of my Fiat Punto outside Old Trafford.
  18. So why not just go up to the job site and ask for the boss? Isn’t that showing more hustle that hanging around at a distance looking odd?
