I recently emailed Morris's and they confirmed winding the company up, I wanted a spar hook and very few suppliers now seem to produce them so I have gone vintage through lack of options. Hedgelaying does not seem to have any lack of interest in the UK and the wood craft movement is still strong so its a bit baffling really that more tools are not offered here
-
i think the best approach here is to put a few feelers out, on Woodlots and the like first and see what happens. I understand imports can sometimes scupper the efforts of local craftspeople but that doesn't mean that opportunities don't exist. I have seen current websites where producers of spars are asking a lot more than 20 pence a unit, but that doesn't mean they are shifting them admittedly
-
I frequently have access to standing hazel and the idea of making some thatching spars on ever frequent torrential rain days is gaining appeal - has anyone on here any experience of producing them and is there only seasonal demand - based on the idea that I imagine most thatching takes place in the warmer months, or do thatchers stock up on on materials throughout the cooler months. Any info appreciated TIA, Phil

Making birch faggots
Acerforestry replied to Acerforestry's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I can see we are going off topic with humourous banter which is fine, but anyway some good replies there I will check out youtube, it seems all that is needed is a pimp clamp and some spare time -
Has anyone seen at any point an instructional video for making the above, the general purpose of which is to start bread ovens. I saw a bloke at the Kent Woodfair last year and he had a little bench clamp / vice setup to assist in the making of, I'd like to see that or something similar in use. A dying craft it seems, and I get quite a lot of birch top

Fuel filter was one of first things checked, have tried all options and thanks for replies but I'm now just using it on and off as back up, will deal with issue when more time available
-
Full bore use until cut out, though that duration time has dipped (see other reply)
-
Thanks for all replies, vapour lock I've heard about and is a possibility though it seemed to do this less in the reasonable heat of June than the pretty awful cool and wet conditions of late - on Monday it scarcely managed 5 minutes before playing up. All routine maintenance I'm pretty good with, and air filter doesn't look that discoloured but I will put another in. Will report back after trying all possibilities, cheers

I'm sure this will have been asked before but anyway..560xp sometimes runs for maybe half an hour, sometimes less depending on how it feels apparently, before cutting out on tickover, or refusing to start again after refuelling. Advice please from anyone who had the same
