How did you hold the emery paper on John?
I just cant see the fastener in the picture?

Not the best of pics....the stones are held on with split pins, so i just put holes in the emery paper, and used the split pins to hold it round the stones

does a fierce job when lubricated with kerosense, takes about 2 minutes to do a cylinder, and leaves a lovely swirl pattern, unlike the stones themselves which tend to make it dull

Bodge to hold link arms up out of way of pto when you don't want to leave them right down trailing in the crop.View attachment 329884

I used to do that with my Renault.

Done the exhaust bodge myself once or twice in the past, even used a second hand potato bag tie in lieu of a clamp! MOT testers hate it as they can't fail it.

Never mind the stand(we'll overlook the excessive paint for now)
Is that new baler twine on the transport lock?
Why is the kids bike still in one piece and not been donated to a project.
And that bit of 6x2 on the floor looks suspiciously "fresh"

The number of TEC screws used there makes that an expensive Bodge, but it definately is a BODGE.

I've got about 25 Gallagher fence posts that have snapped at the base....... can I post them to you for expert repair?

To save a stamp I could put them in a feed bag and throw in the harbour on the in tide so you can pick up off the beach

Are you bodging fence posts back together? They don't even do that in cardigan

I am not sure he is repairing fence posts, looks more like a security feature, the modern version of a nail bat.

Either way he needs locking out of the workshop or the tek screws need hiding.

Just use the original broken fence post to beat the heavy footed fence moving muppet?

(jubilee clips work much better)

£20 worth of tec screws to fix a £10 post.

The baler twine will have definatly have come off of a bale, the 6x2 is an off cut from the house extension which have come in incredibly handy. It was the 'old' hay Bob stand, one under each rotor. But it was susceptible to junior pulling it down on himself. So new stand was made, while its in for a refit.

I'm slightly concerned about your bench........... it looks a bit too tidy to belong to a bodger
Perhaps you just borrowed it for the photoshoot?

jimmer · May 22, 2016

i needed two more stakes , as i was already at 40 paces , and the wire was starting to sag a bit
i found two in the ''pile'' , one beheaded and one befooted
site manager mate had salvaged a load of screws , nails and various fixings out of the skip on site , so i raided it
it took me ten minutes to find a 8mm socket that fitted the tecs , and i put it on the ratchet air gun
its a bit like my home made ball cock arms , i wouldnt normally do it but these things always seem to happen on a saturday afternoon or sunday morning

can anyone think of a way of joining 32mm alkathene together (screws/bolts/tecs/pop/rivets) at 90 degree to itself
not for water obviously

Bit of bar bent at 90' inside and a bit of bale string?
