I started to make a stove for my shead out of the Gas cylinder.

I'm going to have it on it side and feed the wood from the end as I can
get longer lenghts of wood so fire will last longer. I need to "Locate" a pipe
for the chimney and weld up a 90 degrees bend also going to use the top of the cylinder as legs.

Ever get any further with stove,must do something like it myself...

Not yet I'm playing around with different hinges to see what works best. I should have the legs and the chimley sorted out tomorrow. I can only get working at it on the weekends.

Want for an overnight Cabin Cruiser trip on the Erne. The level of drinking amongst boaters was incredible

It was common to tie two boats together, and only use one engine, so only one "captain" had to stay sober enough to actually steer the things.......!

Totally agree, you're welcome to open a new thread but it will be modded a bit stricter. None of us can solve the issue overnight and any thoughts or ideas to do so have a forum for it.
A flooding on farmland thread would be exactly as it says on the lick bucket. No shoite or condescending post like the last one.

l opened a thread l shall not be opening another one . l caused no agro and tread closed with no explanation. As my opening post in that tread stated, l found it v strange even at that time that there wasn't already a thread on the subject.

Perhaps there isn't an appetite for it and that's fine. lets talk about grass covers instead. Just find it v bizarre that the biggest crisis after the IFA debacle and boards has zero coverage on it!!!

seen a couple of u tube videos on it , using gas drums or barrels ,need be careful if using an empty drum though, as gas permeates the steel and is liable to explode if not sterilized properly.
having said that is there not a very good looking barrel type wood burning stove advertised , afaik its available with a boiler as well ,has anyone got one of them and how are they working

thread out valve from top of cylinder(if a fuel gas cylinder is used,it will be an opposite thread) fill cylinder with water and leave filled for a day or two,thats as much as ive read up on the subject so far..

Cattle have to get fed even when it's dark on the nephew's carpet farm.

After he did a bit of tinkering with an old bicycle led light and some sellotape. ... we have light!

legoman gets the job of taking off the wrap!

I live on a lane full of pot holds. The county counsel came out a few months ago with a few tone of stone and filled all the holes but with all the rain holes are back.

There is a good bed of stone on the lane I'm looking at Ideal to weld up something to rake / fill in the holes. I only have a Ferguson 20 to pull it however a friend has a modern 4 wheel drive tractor I might be able to get.

What do I need to make ??? I was thinking of some sort of an over sized rake the fingers of the rake made with rebar so it's cheap to fix when they bend and they would dig into the stone 2 / 3 inches to loosed in up and pull some sort of a heavy mesh behind the rake to level it off.

Would this work ? or would it be a waste of time ?

just hire someone local with a digger to scratch it back?. possibly reseal it with a roller?
