    Recrtangular ducting.

    Hi My mistake I was not meaning along the length of the ducting but in this case along the 204mm dimension. As one can see from the attached picture it bows inwards. This is true on 100mm also but more exaggerated on 204mm.

    Recrtangular ducting.

    I intend ducting a cooker hood to the outside using 204mm x 60mm rectangular ducting. Looking at the ducting it has same problem as when I have used smaller size on other jobs the longer length sags a little ie is not a proper rectangle. And to my mind if one uses the standard connection bits...

    Log splitter

    If you did cobble up something would probably be better than anything the manufacturer has come up with. Ive got some 32 oil off a friend so will treat the splitter to complete change.

    About 30 seconds into this shows the return stop arrangement. https://www.titan-pro.co.uk/p/269/Log-Splitter-Including-Stand-7-Ton On the page where you can purchase extras is a RAm Stop KIt, which is the same useless bit of junk mine has on. Not sure why one would buy this if it comes fitted...

    Burnerman two questions. 1 The thing that stops the ram retracting back shown on the Titan video is different to the useless one on mine, Mine has a physical stop on a support arm that needs adjusting with a hex key wheres the one on the video looks so much easier. Just dropping a metal plaet...

    Log splitter

    I get my wife to use ours so any safety devices are definitely needed. When working have no complaints with it especially at £149. Will in the spring look at the Hyundai Kinetic ones as they seem much faster as we do have a lot of logs each year to split, some 10 tons plus. Hyundai have...

    I have now:D. Mine is the same but supposedly rated at 6Ton. There appear to be 2 sizes in reality. One with a 1500w motor and one like mine with a 2200w motor. So I take the 4ton,5ton,6ton 7ton, and even seen one listed as 8ton with a big pinch of salt. Was bit bemused by the person who said...

    Not being pedantic at all. Id agreeas a start capacitor is disconnected from the circuit when the motor has kicked in. There is nothing in the diagrams I have seen to indictate any type of switch, usually centrifugal, in this arrangement. Remember is a cheap Chinese job rebadged by every man and...

    I always tidy up any topics I start in any of the forums I belong to. I hate threads where one never knows the final outcome.

    Log splitter

    I reckon the capacitor is in circuit during stating and running. I did forget to mention one crucial fact that is that often on pressing the start button it just hums and there is no rotation. Here is the link to the manual showing the circuitry...

    Its the cheap badged chinese job mine is marked Woodstar LH65 from Lidl but is same as Sheppach ones. I have watched all the You Tube videos and from what I have seen the motor does tend to run clockwise so no idea why mine runs 50:50 direction wise. Am awaiting a reply from Germany ie Sheppach.

    Log splitter

    I have one of the cheapo electric/hydraulic log splitters. What has happened after a year outside it was reluctant to start but finally got it going. It has a motor which operates an hydraulic ram. Now what I am finding is that sometimes when I press the start button the motor it goes clockwise...

    Sealing log cabin

    Hi I did consider using a timber cill, my local timber merchant can pressure treat any wood I need. The concrete slab sticks out by around 50mm at sides and front and about 100mm at the rear. I suppose I could use flashband running down the soleplate , across the concrete then over the edge...

    Sealing log cabin

    Having just erected a log cabin I need to make it waterproof at ground level. Attached is a drawing of my proposal to run past you guys.The initial intention was to just run a single bead of mastic around the slab/soleplate joint. What with all the water we have just had I now wonder if it would...

    A tad confused

    Thanks for the reply. It looks like the wiring has been got at in the past as one extension has just connections on 2/3/5 whereas another has wiring on all 6 connections. My problem is that the colours do not match 3 will be white/orange on one and orange white on another. I have 8 extensions in...

    A tad confused

    A while ago we had a BT/Openreach guy investigate why the internet kept dropping out. Some time later I found that none of the phone extensions worked. At the time did not worry me as we use a cordless setup. Now as we are doung this and that to the property I thought I would re- instate the...
