Wasnt pushing ya, was just a quick question thats all [emoji106] i know how time and work runs away on ya, mental for us this week, gota cram extra in to compensate for losing a day next week with bank holiday.

  3. Wow....[emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] what an essay! Nice read tho [emoji106][emoji106]?
  4. Yeah still going! Been there as long as i can remember from being a kid, was brought up on a farm less than half a mile away from there. New houses popping up all around us and starting to feel drowned by it, but end of day ta never forget ya roots!!! I’m still attached purely because i work down road, 2 miles bang on to work from home. Work at Castle Cement just down road from auction, i’m incharge of garage down there (hgv’s) split between my colleague and myself on a week about shift, 20yrs now! Chainsaws and mullering trees are purely my hobby [emoji51]

  9. Nice post, good honest outlook, hope you get what your after [emoji106]

  11. They may sell you a barrel with a pending surcharge to get you on your feet to start with, then once you’ve done with it they may supply you with a fresh barrel minus your surcharge ?‍♂️ could be worth an ask. A barrel may last you nearer 12 months. We’re stripping trailer hubs and bearings daily and washing them out so we get roughly 3 weeks to a barrel before it starts going gloopy cos its done that much work. Really rate it [emoji106]
  12. If your a dedicated workshop, then contact “safetykleen” their product is ace [emoji108][emoji106] we’re on contract with them at work, so they come in once a month and swap barrels, they take the old used cleaner away and remanufacture it leaving you with a barrel of clean stuff.
  13. Magnetron......Geiger........ we in an episode of Transformers, robots in disguise [emoji6]??
  14. Would love to see a nice chunky piece done, a table or a solid door... something like that. I wouldnt chuffing dare to do it myself, two things i dont get on with in life.... mechanical/air sprung pressures (i’m a hgv mechanic during the day) and electricity!!! I’m REALLY cautious with the pair, they always make me think twice and constantly question myself over and over [emoji849][emoji848][emoji849] its only cos i’ve witnessed them both in action go wrong, wasnt good! You got anymore pics of stuff you’ve done?
  15. @Drew87 do you burn then sand off again or just concentrate on each little area, smart effect when its done [emoji106]
  16. I had a serious case of mares tail going on in my front and back garden when i bought my house, its took me 5 yrs to get on top of it using “clinic” and “gallop” which are farm grade (high concentration of glyphosate) you can’t buy it over counter anymore as of sept last year unless you have a spraying licence. It will destroy any weeds thats for sure, i recommend it for a resolve on your weeds defo! As above, just throw a mask on and some rubber gloves [emoji106]
  17. I’ll ask him and come bk to you, thanks for the offer [emoji6][emoji106][emoji106]
  18. Its really not worth it!!! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8a/db/bd/8adbbdf0dde42929f41585881684e11e.jpg

  20. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/KFJ4RB/seaham-co-durham-england-uk-notice-due-to-weather-car-boot-sale-canceled-KFJ4RB.jpg
  21. [emoji106][emoji108] and thats under their own steam with both saws, your not using the dogs for leverage or manipulation, nice comparison run! [emoji106]
  22. Just pm’d you stubby [emoji106]
  23. Thanks rough hewn, The bar i have on it reads 3005 000 6309 but cant make anything else out on it [emoji30] visually it looks thin, 3/8 1.1 or 1.3mm but cant be sure? The maintenance / owners manual states 14” 3/8 but tells ya no more. As its not my saw i darent risk taking a punt on it being 1.1 or 1.3mm for obvious reasons. My gut feeling is 1.3mm but could do with being sure [emoji37][emoji106]
  24. You running an additional adaptor inline to your gunson gauge / line? That can cause a questionable reading, often lower that what is realistic. Spuds the man tho [emoji106]
