  1. Just moved house and inherited a clump of black bamboo by the pond, I have cut it back to a manageable size, but there are so many suckers popping up all over the place, is there anything that will kill off the little bu88ers to save my back?
  2. Get a decent second hand one - I have a Scheppach 260 been going strong for 15 years
  3. I think the Record chucks are that thread to, they are a well known brand and have some good deals on.
  4. Mark, do an eBay search for 3/4x16tpi chuck there are several on there used.
  5. Just had a similar job done with a laurel hedge that was 50` long and 8` wide x 8` high, the fencing contractor used a mini digger and chipper to dispose of the lot. The only thing I have left to do is remove (I guess by hand) the root tendrills that are left it was a 2man x 3 day job and that included installing the fence
  6. Olight are a good company with quality products but I cannot comment on the head torches but every thing else I have had is top drawer.
  7. Just got this little fella from a local rescue centre. A 2 year old pomeranian cross called Zippy. As smart and obedient as you could ask for staright ot of the box. It has been many years since I have had a dog, looking forward to the future.
  8. If they are worm holes they may not be active, look for fine sawdust exiting the holes as the little bu88ers eat!!!
  9. Oxalic acid - used to clean fidre glass and bleach wood, great for stain removal on stone, concrete etc, and cheap as chips off Fleabay
  10. No timbers all appear sound and dry, just the wood munchers little holes. Bring back DDT!!!!!
  11. Just moved into our new place and I cleaned out the single garage that the old boy before us had used as a small workshop. I noticed some active woodworn in the rafters (flat pent roof) so I gave it a good dose of Cuprinol wood worm killer 5 days ago. I noticed today there is still some active critters in the wood. Do I need to reapply or will the original spray act on and kill those still munching?
  12. No idea tried every card I have all are declined never had a problem before so now at a loss ?
  13. No good can’t open an account!!!!!!
  14. But they have such an uncomfortable driving position with the window so close to the steering wheel, when I drove the works defender I had to have the window down all the time
  15. Many thanks will have a look when i get home
  16. I have just purchased a new to me Kity 1629 - however I am unable to locate a manual on the interweb. Can anyone assist with a scanned copy please?
  17. We need to get a price for one of these, could be a good take up @Johnsond
  18. I lost my ol Pops back in 2005 to cancer, he was my friend and Father things get easier over time but I still go to phone him now and again when I have something I would have shared with him. Then lost my Step Father at the end of last year, he was in a home for a few months, very sad after his long and eventful life. We are all terminal, its just a case of when! Tributes to Second World War hero Peter who has died aged 94 WWW.GAZETTE-NEWS.CO.UK PETER Potter made it one of his life’s missions to keep the memory of the Second World War alive.
  19. Holly is very difficult to dry without splitting or turning grey for woodturning blanks, I ususally get less than 40% useable.
  20. Wassat
  21. £55 for 47kg around here
  22. That sound expensive you must live in a psoh post code!!!!!!
  23. I used the standard bar (Oregon) and a milling chain from chainsawbars - both chinese saws going fine the 62cc Timberpro has paid for itself many times over and is still going strong. I couldnt justify a milling bar which costs more than the original saw. The mill is fine no issues at all. Have fun.
  24. Thanks all more food for thought, I like the idea of under floor heating but not sure I could put up with the disruption involved will have to ponder some more and have a good look at the type of flooring when we get the keys.
