    FTAGH Arundel lathe

    I have an Arundel J4 lathe for spares or repair. There is a headstock, tailstock, toolrest, bed bars etc. It is complete but needs a new pulley on the motor. I think that the motor works but it has been a few years since I used it. There is also a chuck adaptor which goes from the slightly...

    Kity 618/619

    Hi. Looking back at the thread, I think I had a manual but I am not sure where it is now. I will have a look though.

    Sickle

    Strimmer and hedge trimmer seem to be the tools for the job. If budget is the issue, first choice for me would be to ask around your friends, somebody will likely have one and may either come and help you or lend the tools. At a push, hand shears would be better than a sickle. Slow going though.

    Tomatoes

    Probably most tempted by this option to be honest.

    Tomatoes

    thanks Ian. If relevant, I am using a ring culture system, with a depth of about 6" of soil in a 8" diameter bottomless pot, and then into a 12" deep bed of gravel below. it should be very well/perfectly drained. I was a bit greedy though and probably shoved in an extra plant than I should have...

    Tomatoes

    Any tomato experts on here? I have removed this truss tonight, having done a similar one at the weekend. The odd brown patch on the stem, and (literally) the odd yellow leaf which I snipped off. Any ideas?

    engine enamel / very high temperature paint

    when you say 250c, is that the temp that the pan may get to. I would expect that the gas flame would be hotter than that, but I dont know if brief, isolated heat would cause issues with the paint. if it is suitable for stoves then perhaps not.

    outdoor material

    would ply, even exterior ply, be up to the job for a few years?

    outdoor material

    when I say I dont want to spend a fortune, I would rather spend what it needs for the correct material, but would rather avoid buying an 8x4 sheet for the job unless I have to.

    outdoor material

    I have an old black and decker workmate that lives outside. It is worth saving because it is better than the offerings today, but it needs a new top. Any suggestions for what I could use as a material for the top that will survive sun and rain? I dont care what it looks like and whether it is...

    Weeds etc

    it is surprising how quickly it grows. next door to me took out a bramble patch and there are still bits that spring up under the fence on my side when I turn my back.
