I’m gunner be having a go at coating some billet wheel hubs at the weekend it’ll be my first time using the stuff I’m a little nervous because I want to make a really good professional job of it I’ve glass media shot the hubs in the sand blast cabinet keeping the bearings an dust seals in so to not play with tolerances I’ve degreased them then baked them in the oven repeated twice to make sure for no grease I’m looking for any hints an tips would be appreciated? I think this is a good a place as any as I know many on her

My misses dad used to do his fence every summer religiously he’d probably not done it for about 5yrs before it was removed he’s getting on abit he’s in his 80s but was still a solid fence when removed used to crack me up when I used to go up there in the summer there used to be a stong smell of creosote you’d look at the fence it’d look like it was bleeding of creosote. I do like the smell of the stuff though

Brilliant stuff mate nothing wants to eat in to it or f**k with it he said paint it on on a hot day so the wood don’t contain any moisture it draws it in. he reconned that’s what the original telegraph poles are done in sort of makes sence as they have a long life span

I quit 2 seasons ago now after a long time at it. it wasn’t worth the bother time an effort no more put in it got to a point that you’d be doing a dusk till dawn for one or two rabbits on the lamp 2 rabbits would be a good night that’s how bad it got! My last season at it I finished the season on 98 lamped rabbits with the dog plus other bits. For the last 10yrs I’ve watched rabbit numbers dwindle at one point we could find more than enough work for 6 ferrets and 7 dogs between us now you’d be lucky to actually call a dog a working dog. Thats Oxford way an no I’m not a posh c**t vhd virus as

Your enjoy it either way mate still a cheaper alternative to running a boiler you have a option of switching to whatever fuel sauce you want to use or have the most of plus the heat is a cosy heat rather than a dry heat like central heating

I burn smokeless coal sometimes to keep the burner in overnight I use supertherme smokeless it’s about £17.50-£19 a bag tbh I think coal is messy the amount off ash produced I have to clean out the ash tray daily it’s ok to start with but soon gets boring plus if your burner has a glass window you need to clean it every couple of burns I favour wood as it burns clean

True that remember seeing those ads saying that

Definitely get some well worth keeping them for eggs mate cheap as hell to keep and easy
-
there layer’s pellets contain all they need for egg production you’d have to feed that anyway they’d not find enough food scratching about in the dirt that’s just supplementary food stuffs and morsels. Mate you won’t believe the amount of damage an land they could clear once they get to work hens are a busy animal. I’ve got 3layers i keep them in a omlet cube on hard standing with scratch material in the run I dump food waste in the run for them to eat an scratch. every month or month an a half it gets dug out an on to the compost heap I’d not recommend having them free roaming if you have a

Better kept on concrete in my opinion than on dirt as the ground goes sour an harbours disease your better off adding scratch materials like grass clippings/straw/sawdust or leafs
