We have one in a holiday home. If you go down press a button and it comes on. No ashes, collect a few bags of pellets on the way.
Have a few lengths of 3 inch tubing. I took a notion that I could make posts outta them. Any handy way I could hang electric wire out of them? Was going to drill and see if the screw in insulators would take in them, just not sure whether this would be a good job or not
Would you not keep them for gate hangers.
Bit of a waste to hang wire off of 3" tubing imo
If you want to use screw in insulators then drill slightly oversize and then hammer a block of wood into the tube so your insulator is screwing into the wood.
You can get M6/M8 bolt on type that would be better than trying to use wood self tappers.

This insulator with two tek screws, get tek screws for heavy iron.
I don't know why but I just assumed the OP wanted to do the job without spending any money?
Maybe 🤷🏼♂️ or small money, but they asked a question and got a few possibilities. Maybe they haven't bought the screw in insulators yet either?
Just wouldn't be good enough to hang gates off, bit of scrap really
That makes sense then
Any way you could slice a slit down vertically & put a small pin across horizontally above it & you could use the clipex insulator then?
Failing that use them as straining post set in concrete?
Drill a hole through the bar first smaller than the tek screw diameter otherwuse you cango through a lot of tek screws
Would tech7 hold the indulators in place in a hole slightly bigger than them
There are special tek screws for driving into heavy steel, one per hole
I know and I bought some lately for to go through RSJ's onnthe lintels on the daughters house. The ones with the ling points supplied by a good metal fabricator. Carpentery cobtractor send me for them there he said that you sometimes will not get them with the first one. Going into round bar I would start a pilot hole with a drill bit.
If you'd a strong enough welder I'd blow a hole front and back and stick a bolt in
FFertiliser Bag and baler twine
My suggestion is a piece of inner tube tech screwed on with a heavy cable tie vertically behind it. Cable tie holds the wire.
I’d love to have the spare time ye all have.
Drive a wooden stake with the pounder and staple in an insulator and be done with it quicker than you’ll find a drill bit and a disc for the angle grinder to be making your own from scrap!
You're not wrong, just trying to use what I have access to!
Have old type nose bowl drinkers here with the brass jet nozzles. They are a pain, when a small bit goes on the brass and it's leaking. Hadn't a spare about so I filed down the one that was there. Will it hold, some might have done this. I do have loads of old jets about. The newer chinese jets are pure rubbish.
Absolute guntering.
Going fencing on just a few stakes.
Little car trailer tied onto the blade of the digger.
(I see some people weld on a plate for a ball hitch on them. This'll do for 20 minutes).
A chain and link could be another solution. But you are hanging from the hitch handle.
The b###oxology only started then.
Had a roadside pier that has been knocked down more times and widened. But was remodeled on the old originals. It was taken down again in the last year. It was suggested by the folks to bury it in a hole.
It's been lying in the yard since. I have a ditch between fields along the roadway that the cows were bunting that I widened and hadn't fenced off with wire yet. So when it was dry today I took a notion. The pier must be three tons as the two and a half ton forklift was barely able lift it.
Then when I had it in place the wheels on the forklift start spinning and I had to chain it and pull the forklift out of it with the digger.
So it's now a folly piece in a field for people to sit on and whatnot. I didn't really want to get rid of it. Anyway job done now. So it's a bit of a curiosity.
Will cut off the stakes underneath and tidy up.
Ya know if you got a consaw and a chisel it could make a damn good water trough....
Thought i had hardship here with granite piers.... thats some load
That's high level rooting.
Ah surely you'd allow them some comfort with a kango hammer instead of a chisel?
What oil do I need to use to top up a bottle jack.
Hydraulic 32 or atf transmission fluid
Thanks, I've both here.
Is gear oil different?
Gear Oil is a thicker oil it goes by the numbers .
Gear oil is 80/90 hydraulic oil is 10 w30, hydraulic 46 , or 32 etc. Never use an engine oil in a backend of a tractor/machine
