Chainsaw, circ saw and sharpened pickaxe, I have been attacking the bayleaf stump today. Pic was a while ago and its now below the soil level, but took far too much effort!
There was a steel wire amongst it. Blunted one cheap chain and possibly the circ saw disc but its only a cheap one.
Cordless reciprocating saw is great for hacking out stumps.

So are the bigger 240 volt 12 inch bladed sabre saws with a vicious toothed saw blade when run off a long strong cable or a small genny

If you can , would you let me have a few lumps of the baytree if they are two inches or more thick & over a foot long for my pen turning hobby .
Happy to pay costs etc.

Today I made a wooden frame for an old BSA advertisement sign I painted.

Theres nothing suitable left of this one, I removed it last year and just the last bit of stump left.

old metal oil drum or paint drum with the bottom cut out, stick it over the stump, fill of wood and coal and keep it burning!
nothing left of the stump in no time!
dont forget the marshmallows!
That’s a lot of hash he can make

A thumbnail
Well not the best thumbnail ever but I can always change it if it doesn't work.
Right now I'm editing the new restoration video which took really too long but I'm an human being and I've had to deal with a bunch issues so it's a victory already.
Hopefully uploading this night as most of the video has been already edited.
Wish me good luck

Finally made the non working compressor work ,made a new 15 foot mains lead for it as the one on it was well shot ( bit awkward as there was very little space to use a Philips screw driver to undo the terminals ,this even included using a z style off set Philips .
I made a squarish Delrin washer from square stock partly turned down to 24mm so it still retained some of the squareness so it's really grip able in my occasionally desensitized fingers .
Centrally drilled to 10mm & parted to 11 mm , then gently forced it on the drain down valve insert in the vice using a small socket as the anvil , the original one is 10,5 mm in dia & knurled but very very worn from where PO's have used pliers to undo and tighten it , put a new sealing " O " ring on the valve too as it was copiously seeping air .( why they used the pliers ??)
Went and collected the last connector to make up the compressor lead ..I should have purchased two females' and two male connectors right the start & got them delivered to my home along with the dehumidifier i purchased on Friday instead of faffing about driving to and from the local Screw Fix four times thinking differing types of connectors they had in stock would fit .
Now a fully working 150 psi compressor with 10mtr reinforced heavy rubber hose and an air pistol jet .
An air nailer or a riveter is now on the cards either as a donated repairable one or something from Santa in fishnets

Very nice.
I'm repairing a similar drill. Similar as in, big drill with a three speed gearbox, however it's a wet core drill.
I suspect it's had a far harder life that yours and I need to change every bearing in it. There's lots and every one is fighting me.
I'll do a post when I get it back together but I won't be going into the detail you do.
Also, I won't be improving the aesthetics.
