I've noticed all his photos are from years back before he acquired even more stuff. You can't get to those cabinets now without climbing over more stuff...
:scared:
Case in point I took a lump of steel over to turn down into a liner puller. The one that Bob was scared of because it was shiny...
Almost as bad as my mates little comp safari racer buggy thingy. Genuinely carries more fuel in the plastic jerry can in the boot than the fuel tank does. Fuel lines make a significant part of the fuel systems capacity. :laughing:
I should add that WSPR mentioned above is not really a real time signal in that it takes 4 minutes to receive 50 bits. Basically you're relying on good timing lock (independent such as GPS or NTP), the receiver captures 2 minutes worth of data and then post processes it intensively to demodulate...
Signal strength (or more appropriately) signal to noise ratio (SNR) is absolutely relevant.
Modern processing schemes mean that it is actually more power efficient to do billions of computations with complex maths than it is to transmit a little louder. However there is a limit (the best scheme...
All I'll say is that three of us lifted 5x 4.2m precast lintel into place 15ft up on our shoulders. Admittedly the major part of the lift was done by the JCB but the final couple of feet was done by hand.
Just make platforms (pallets?) and lower it but by bit on a pair of strong shoulders.
My father also had a concrete screed floor to the same finish poured over a existing badly done one.
The actual floor is fine but there are spots where it's hollow underneath as the slab below has subsided slightly.
Up to a certain point (well beyond what's needed for most workshop floors) if you get a guy who knows what they're doing then they can get a smooth level floor straight off the concrete. If you decided to go that route.
This was the finish on my workshop floor (I can't remember off hand what...
Well I don't know what they integrated into but my parents bought 37 years ago a pressure washer (Mistral) with a CAT pump in it. Four years ago the electric motor finally died on it so Dad bought a replacement but it wasn't a straight swap.
They ended up buying a complete Mistral unit again...
@nickk I'd speak to Mark or Gareth at CLH Trailers. They've got a decent supply of quality Buffalo board for the trailers they build. I don't know whether they'd have some offcuts available as you're not after a full sheet width.
How big a lump of ash do you want. We've got / had a few large trees and branches to come down. There's some lumps up to about a foot in diameter up to about 15ft long in the vegetable garden awaiting me to do something with them.
I gave up on using gloves for a while. They never seemed to last spannering. However on the recommendation of someone here I tried out these and I'm bloody impressed. Can reuse them three or four times whereas previous ones used to be about 0.25 times.
If I need to check my phone or something...
Might be useful depending on what you wanted for it. Then again we rarely get power cuts these days. We get more blips than extended power cuts. Cooking is either a commercial gas hob or the Neolithic Aga which relies on gravity so we don't really need automatic changeover.
I'll have to double check - that might have been Dad's gennie not mine. The three current meters go up to 100A and the are two 63A plugs with separate breakers if I recall and a single 32A socket so I'd be surprised if it was a 28kVA gennie with a 32A socket properly wired in - I'd have thought...
I acquired a largish (28kVA I think) 3 phase gennie off one of Bob's mates a while back. As I'm due to finish a big work project shortly I'm turning my focus on trying to make the workshop a bit more productive and ready to use. Part of this is plumbing in the gennie so it can power the mills...
Our local garage has an extra fitting on his to make plugging in normal air tools simple. Was a godsend when I had a puncture, knackered wrist and stupid locking wheel nuts that rounded off. Tomos came down and we found the puncture hole, managed to find a screw in the back of the Range Rover to...
It really depends. A mate has a Ranger Raptor because he's got back into deer stalking big time. The boot on that is a decent size but that's because the vehicle is huge, it's 7ft wide for Pete's sake.
The crew cab means that the wife and daughter have space to sit, huge boot for stuff. I'd say...
The only one I've been impressed with recently but for no practical reason was a mates Ford Ranger Raptor. Watching that thing go over bumps at speed was impressive. Big boot on it (he had a canopy) but the thing was massive, bigger in every dimension than my 2011 Range Rover which is...
