  2. If you read the echo manual properly it states not to use synthetic or silicone based oils to prevent “plastic deterioration” no mention regards your bar and chain.

  8. Skoda yeti 4x4, fold the back seats down when ya need, shove em back up if ya need to carry more than two folks.
  9. How long between oiling and waxing did you leave it Steve? Reason i ask is, I used/fitted MDF Oak as my window sills when i did the house up, finished with bull nose trims tacked on to front and sides that were left exposed, the used bri wax to finish with the aid of a blow torch. By using the blow torch very delicately i’d apply a liberal amount of wax to the surface (light oak) then flash over with the torch, the wax when heated would seep in to the grain (you can see this happen pretty much instantly) once in the grain i would pull the torch away and buff the wax up with a cloth till it became non tacky and smooth to the touch. If you left the torch on too long then it would scorch obviously, so was all about the timing. The finish is ace, perfect match with my upvc golden oak frames, but it only lasts about 12 months before it starts to go dull again. I have repeated the process each year but becomes harder and harder to get the original finish. I’m wondering if a total strip back and oil, then a re wax may have a better longer lasting effect 🤷‍♂️ trial and error will bring the results i guess.
  10. Oh look!…. Another generic google pic! How original of you. Your the best, do keep it up!

  21. Anything mainstream, particularly the news! Rather watch CBeebies!
  22. So….. read the last 15 or so related and debated posts and think its probably not achievable to sustain a daily healthy diet for 30p a meal. Not to say a 30p meal isn’t achievable as pointed out above, but it will be shite. I’ve just cooked off some peas and sweetcorn, made a tuna and crab mayo mix and introduced the lot to a medium sized bowl. Two tins of lidl’s finest tuna, a tin of kingfisher white crab meat, handsome dollop of full fat hellmans mayo, a dash of Asda’s full fat salad creme and mixed in with peas and sweetcorn. This will be used on two teacakes for tomorrow with some salad leaves, cherry tomatos and slices of cucumber. Quantity wise of what i’ve just mixed up i’ll get three days out of it, so…. I rekon it has cost me £7 ish for all fresh bought stuff, over three days, £2.33 a day. That good or bad? 🤷‍♂️
  23. Get that original bar put back in! Different fire when ya do! Halved my use and much more controllable imo!
  24. Best to buzz a clean line where you want to cut with a flappy disc, same as everything in fabrication, preparation is key! We have one a cebora at work, will cut up to 12mm steel/alloy, its fecking brilliant! [emoji108] you wont look back, and saves loads of time!!!
  25. I really like look of them, hear great reports from people that have them. Mate of mine bought one, paid about £2.5k for it, all came built in to a workstation etc, cant justify that like, but hes cashed up to the gunnels and just gets what he likes, but i’ve been looking at the Joe Jr [emoji106]
