    Buying in bulk might not be simple for everyone. The extra storage space, security issues etc

    Ringing the log to size, maintenance of chainsaw?

    I agree. Go for it, then. Still parts available. Just keep a check on how much it's costing you. I'd even say, use pattern parts for some bits. If it's a wrongun, I might be interested. I've got one sat there with a crack in the casing around the oil tank. Otherwise, a good saw

    Ms 200 t was a great saw. They stopped making them quite a few years ago now. I think you'll be lucky to find one in good condition. A lot of arborists (myself included) kept hold of them and ran them into the ground. I loved mine. You're probably being offered something like this. They are not a home owners saw, and will have been used and used....

    Too good. I'll have it in my dining room, when you've finished with it😂

    Bought a mitsubishi pajero from a dealer, over 25 yrs ago. Great car. It was 15 yrs old when I got it. I kept it for 10 yrs. Not a single problem with it. Everything worked on it when I sold it. Only sold it cos it was thirsty. I don't even remember the insurance being particularly bad.

    TW 190

    Con posted a topic in Large equipment

    If anyone hears of a TW 190 for breaking, I'm looking for an infeed tray and possibly the hopper. They're functioning, but the tray has more rust than metal. If anyone knows of one, could they post info on here? Thanks. I dread to think what the price of a new one would be.

    I don't sell many logs, just got 4-5 customers that I have supplied with a few bags for years, but are you sellers putting your prices up?

    My wife has been watching the rocky films recently. I think they've been 're running them. I said to her yesterday 'are you watching the fight tonight?' She said 'What fight?'. I said 'sorry, I thought you were into boxing'. She said 'why would you say that?' I said 'no reason, cup of tea?'

    I bought a car battery off eBay. It came delivered by Hermes. It was the wrong size. I tried sending it back with Hermes. They said they don't carry batteries 😂. Found another courier, they took it. About 3 weeks later, it landed on my doorstep, with a note, 'cannot deliver'. Not much help to you, only that it could be a headache.

    I think you would struggle to fill 5 days a week like that. I suppose it depends how busy you want to be. Be careful if you get home owners asking you to chip stuff they have taken down. It's always poorly stacked and full of roots, soil, string and all sorts. On the very few occasions I've done it, it's been problematic and I've concluded it wouldve been easier doing the work from scratch

    Hi. I'm setting up a lathe in my workshop. Not got very much experience turning. Can anyone offer any advice as to what height the bench/lathe should be. If it's relative to my height, I'm 5'9" on a good day, Thanks

    Thanks

    Hi Put a small amount of pampas through the chipper last week. I know they don't like it, so I mixed it with other stuff and it wasn't a large quantity. Anyway, a bit of it wrapped itself around the shaft. I actually had smoke coming out of the chute. Knocked it off. Cleaned it all off the shaft. Took a bit of doing, the flywheel was jammed at first. Anyway, I seem to have got away with it. But was thinking of changing the bearings anyway, if I get a quiet period, before Xmas. How hard is it to do? Any special tools needed. I take it, it's a 2 man job. I've got a bearing press anything else not in your average Joe's tool box I might need? Thanks

    Dave, You say you're not bothered about legal matters, but just out of interest, what are the laws in New Zealand? Your neighbour has obviously entered your property to do that extent of work, I should say damage.

    If you're lucky. They lost mine.

    Yeah. It wasn't 2000. I made a few for the school fair once. But once you're set up, you could rattle a few off quite quickly

    Often thought the same. My wife actually came home with something similar once. I had about 2000 sitting in the yard!

    Nice. What are the posts? How are they set?

    Are you related to Bruce Forsyth?

    My advice. Stay where you are. Bring the family out if you miss them! Sorry, can't help with what you are actually asking.
