  1. hi tim not wanting to sound like im kissing you know what but you will find that if you are ever having problems you will be glad of someone like carl who will always go out of his own way to help any boater thats in trouble he also has a great deal of experience on canals and is well worth listening to then as he says then adapt it to suit yourself .
  2. now thats proper canal folk for you live and let live and meet and get on with your neighbours doesnt get any better than that
  3. id give you a greeny but dont know where they are lol
  4. you can buy batteries for festool from allbatteries.co.uk i have bought them for my festool stuf and they are sound and nowhere near £100 hope this helps . By the way i agree with the post that says about refreshing dont even try it
  5. why whats happened to your boat
  6. i agree with both of you but surely its up to crt to do the work like all of us who are working do .I dont ask someone who im working for at their home to sweep up after ive finished working for them. When i retire i want to do what i want such as keep a journal of places visited or not, my decision not crts.they are getting paid to sort things out so let them sort it .Let all us boaters just enjoy boating and get on with enjoying it taking everyone as they come and not judging someone just because of where and how long they moor for life is to short
  7. :clapping: completely agree

  10. all the ways shown are excellent ways to sharpen your chisels with a guide is good but i find free hand better the next stage for the glass is a metal polish on the glass gives the blade a mirror finish. Oil stones good water stones i find excellent it doesnt matter which method you use as long as you enjoy it and you get the edge you require.I prefer the sharpest and straightest edge on chisels to give crisp square holes and sockets ,plane blades i take a small round on corners to stop lines on large flat panels and on cabinet scrapers a good burr put on with round knife steel much better than sanding but i also use sandpaper
  11. its a wind break for hedehogs for when they get to be beside the water in summer but up here its always windy
