Nice, been wanting to make a billhook for ages but haven't got round to it yet.
No.
That's what you get after having numerous jars of neck lubricant ..... it eventually reaches your fingers ,makes them all slippery & upsets the dyslexia box store that we all have within us.
Simples :-Forgot to mention there's a live, clay drain running through the footings!
Leaf spring is idea from what i understand. Ive got some if you want ?
When we moved here 17 yrs ago the hall way was just 36 inches wide with a 90 degree turn half way from my bedroom tot he front door so that was one consideration we had to take into account due to my disabilities. We removed the 10 foot long wheel chair slop[e with a90 degree turn access out side and cut the corner off my daughters bed room toi enable me on a stretcher to be taken off to the hospital or morgue .
Just been down the garden Parm & checked .......they look all soft and green on the oak are you sure leaves are the best ? 
Glad they arrived.
That is a nice find indeed
Well , the breaker got it's first action in anger this morning .. I struggled to use it but with the help of my lass we demolished four courses of 9 inch rock solid mortared engineering brick walling some 12 foot long in about 20 min , before we had to stop have a cuppa , watch PMQ's and clean up the rubble.I got one of theses via Yodel at 17.00 hrs today.. The steel transportation case is about half as thick as bean tin metal , The tool holder had torn through it leaving a 2 inch gash in the end wall , paint off the body in ten or more places ..due to the tools , spare brushes ,point and chisel taking a wander inside the packing on its 6,000 mile journey to me ?
Plenty of oil creep from joints & holes on the body but a quick wipe off and an unladen test run for three minutes to warm it up as per the manual ,
As it weighs 27 kg I put it on my 4 wheel articulated garden trolley and dragged it off to where it's going to be used in anger tomorrow .
Set it up on a 40 foot heavy duty extension cable running out of the log cabin ,then breath held for a few seconds used it with the chisel to crack up five inches of lean mix topped with 40 mm vibrated cast slabs around the cast in situ pond I did 15 years ago .
It fair blew them apart .. heavy work for an old fool like me , glad I was called for teatime after I'd lifted 10 foot of this 2 foot wide edging and stored the beast away for the night .
All in all it's like a Kango medium demo hammer but at 2000 watt , I'm well pleased.
I spent a while looking on eBay for it and eventually found it on a site with UK stocks that dropped the price by £ 20 more from the sale price if I purchased it within 6 seconds plus an additional 15 % discount . Quite pleased, the same model was £198 + VAT & carriage three years ago . I paid £122 including carriage VAT already paid . .
I chose to purchase rather than hire as the local hire place only does 110 volt so I'd have to also hire a decent meaty transformer . As I'm 71 & 80 % disabled I can't always guarantee I can complete jobs in the hire periods . Plus I can always keep it clean & tidy then sell if for more than I paid for it in three years time ....
I sold a tip top looking Thule three cycle tow bar mounted cycle rack to fund the purchase . only paid £94 for it four years ago , sold it last week for £ 146 , Halfords price £ 220 or more new a week before Easter
If it collapses will it be your arch enemy for now on?
