Today I acquired...........

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Yup...when my mate bought it and recommended it they had a double spindle. They switched to single....so as it's feeding it all gets tangled up.

The bonus is I can also use the 2.4mm line which does cut a lot better I think....and is easier to work with.

It's a simple bolt on job...no mods required. I really like the STIHL one as the spool has clips for easy reload...and the feed holes are open at the top too....lot less faff.

Excuse the cat...he has to have a sniff of everything!

Ah. Yeah that would suck. Mines double.

Goes for ages on low speed

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Yup...original DeWalt was double.

I called my mate up and asked why I had a tangled birds nest...he just kept saying it's easy just wind up the spools...eventually we worked out they'd made it a load of rubbish and mine wasn't the same as his..

Thankfully the STIHL spool fits and is an excellent design....the 2.4mm is a lot better for what I need (edging me allotment plot). It mows down everything.

Do you use a cross over program when doing it? used to use one when i had a "studio". Helped in the initial mix, but you cant beat actual air moving

Been using this for a month now.
Works well and helps.

Il still use headphones as I mostly get to play when the kids are in bed but being able to give a near complete track a mixdown on a decent set of monitors is a huge plus

Previously only had a set of Logitech PC speakers.

Sold all my old ones off before I came back to the UK. Had to cram my life in a van

Scored a few Thomas compressors. A Bit rough, but I'll see if I can make 1 good 'un out of 4.

 

[Iain Westland]

I had some large Behringer self powered speakers that really worked well in the room, and a set of celestion that gave me a real world equivalent (they were the same ones i had in the house and i knew how both sounded so could dial in fairly well)

but too many years playing punk badly on bass, live gigs and noisy work environments mean that im struggling above 13K now in the right and 11.5K in the left so im reduced to mixing drinks.

hey ho, age is where you get to realise whether you wasted your youth or or your paying for it... price worth paying

My left ears screwed.

An Oxford oil cooled welder. Always fancied one. Very nice it is too for sticking metal together...............I would hardly call my stuff welding
Put it on the heavy blue garage socket box and no tripping or misbehaving. Pretty smooth welding.

 

[Cuthy246]

On tomorrow's to do list . Got the lot as a kit from permaroof. Like the all in one drip edge moulding, no need for a separate batten.

I sold one of those a few months ago having rescued it from a skip. Turned the proceeds into a year's tax for the bike

Another Collie pup, this is Nova, shes 11 weeks old and way too cute, joins Luna who is now 20 weeks old

 

[indy4x]

Really gone and done it now, in a fit of madness I plumped for a fleet car





Its the all electric Jaguar I Pace.

Did the maths, its cheaper to run that including charging costs than it is to tax, insure and fuel my D3.

The performance is bonkers 0-60 is sub 5sec

I was looking at that Jag on Harry's garage on youtube. He liked it, but found finding charging points a faff.

 

[indy4x]

@ronan I looked at that review. Not too bothered about charging points as pretty much 98% of my driving will be inside of the distance covered by a full charge, I hope

Electric cars are still in their infancy, charging infrastructure will get better, most motorway services have charging points these days, even our local council are installing them in car parks, just can't see them being used tho

Yeah, but Tesla have it done right, scores of chargers at each point.

there's only about 3 in a 50 mile radius near us or they was up until last year

Fugly looking thing....
