I used some on this knife handle some time ago, lovely to work with

I wonder if their up for a bit of treework! :mrgreen:

I dont think its fair to say that southerners are less friendly than northerners, Ive met and worked with many northerners over the years and while a lot of them were quite open and friendly there have been many who were as miserable as sin! just as there are many friendly southerners this is...

Then you'll know its in the midlands you cockney !!!!!! I wonder why it is that people think that because your from the home counties that makes you a "cockney"? Im originally from near St Albans, Herts and because I still have a home county accent folk instantly assume im a londoner! I...

Well, as I see it, it keeps the likes of Seb Coe and his a** licking minions in the public eye, and its interesting to see what company's are jumping on the bandwagon of self promotion. How is this festival of excess going to benefit anyone outside of a 10/15 mile radius of the various events...

some nice mild curry spices, coconut milk, lemon grass, spring onion etc,cut it up and wack it all in a pan (with the stock!) medium heat for 30 mins, serve with basmati rice, naan bread and a cold beer of your choice... well, thats what id do!

Hmmm... an interesting thread, just one observation, while Ive been reading all about the different sides in this "discussion", who contributed what to the GDP, who's going to be a few quid worse of each month, and generally how hard done by everyone feels, I have on a sidebar of my screen, an...

Peanut butter will work as good as chocolate, I believe its what the pro's use.

I have an open coke forge at one end of my workshop, im sure some folk may be tearing their hair out regarding the safety factor but its been like that for years and its never been an issue, provided you follow basic workshop cleanliness and a dose of commonsense. My old dad was a Fireman on...

Yep, Pyrocantha will do the job! used to hate working on that stuff, id almost need a blood transfusion after a day cutting that! :twisted:

No, it doesn't stink, but it works on cats and if someone tipped a load of cr*p,Lion or otherwise, on my head I think id get the message pretty damn quick! :wink:

Im sure it would if you throw it over the wall while your interlopers are doing their best to spoil your peace of mind....

Lion dung! you can buy it in pellet form and spread it around your garden perimeter, not only will it keep cats out it also acts as a fertiliser!

If, as you claim, you cant find work because of Health and Safety issues then maybe you should give up with the woodworking/welding/chainsaws etc etc, and concentrate on one of your other myriad skills ie, your musical 'talents' to make some money. I cant help noticing that practically every...

If appearance isn't an issue how about ratchet straps?

I bought an ELU 1901 P/T a while ago but it came without a guard, despite searching all the usual avenues i cant find one, so I was wondeing if anyone had one around their workshop thats of no use to them, also I bought an ELU flip saw from the same source, this has the riving knife and guard...

Hmm.. an interesting thread! having read all the previous posts including the last from Lewis I would like to add a few thoughts. 1. Disability Discrimination: as far as I can see nobody has used your Disability to prevent you recieving a service that would otherwise be offered to an able...

the saw id use for work in a tree would be a stihl 020 climbing saw, its only meant to be sold to certificated users but they can be picked up on ebay, the only time you'd use a back handled saw in a tree is for major dismantling where the limbs are over about 12". ive never used acenders...

I dont know much about recip saws but ive made my living with chainsaws for over 25 years, what I would say is if your going to use a chainsaw for pruning then please use the right one! i.e a proper top handled one thats designed for exactly this use and can be used safely one handed. working...

with regards to the question of sharpening chains, as a professional Tree Surgeon with over 25 years experience I would just like to say that you should always sharpen the teeth to the height of the shortest tooth, which will mean that chain life will be shortened but will provide a smoother...
