  1. Yep go for it m8, have no doubt you'll succeed, its extremely simple to set up, makes a lot of mess tho', I worked in a fab' shop years ago and they had a home made one, it had an old gas bottle (the blue caravan type) with the arse cut off and then fitted with screwed brackets and a gasket so it could be fitted back together again-pressure tight, this bottle had a small guage pipe brazed on which fed a small volume of air into the bottle, bottle on a stand as it gravity fed the nozzle, which was no more than a 'Y' branch, air in one branch, gravity fed ' kiln dried sand'-bought from Keyline building supplies (not cheap) down the other, hey presto Terminators exfoliater, simples ps Bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate) works great and you can get this easily if you have a bakery nearbye, full protection when using this material tho', keep us posted !

  6. like it, its versatile, that could take exhausts being that long, and that shape, would need a shroud for taller items i.e. a whole frame, you could easily incorporate a 'worm' into the base to extrude the 'medium' back to the hopper. Genius OG
  7. your 'bird' will want to propogate geraniums, you kno that dont you ? good luck wi it, and let me be the first to know if you get it off the ground, I might be sending you bits to Newk !
  8. Are you barking ? if you lead line it, with approx', 128 square M of 2mm sheet, you'll alter magnetic North, it doesnt matter where on the British Isles you are, its too much, use 'conveyer belt or flooring rubber as a lining, it costs the same, but is environmentaly-non-catastrophic, unlike lead !

    tyre prices have shot up in the last month and a half !, my local bike shop has increased the cost of a Bridgestone BT 45 from £65 to a whopping £80, with a 'good-will'' reduction of a fiver, £75, by my rough calc' thats nearly a 25% increase in just short of 2 months, a 'shares' opportunity, or a rip off ?

    The off-road version has a wheel with a 9ft radius, fitted with a giant knobbly, the rider is sat in a leather sofa chair (from DFS though, so it loses points on build quality), and the whole machine is gyro-stabilised, It just rolls over everything, stone dykes, fences, rhododendrum, cars, and livestock crazy fools ! Ok, so I took that too far !
