A cracking day at the highest point in Pembrokeshire. Good weather and good company. Well done Colin. You certainly earned you tea and biscuits!

I use electric fence insulators. Some are also good for the antennas 73 John GM0MST

Painful. This should have been edited to 1 video. Nice job though.

Thank you for the info and video, very useful for making shuttering for the base of a crank over radio mast. Rgds from Exeter. Devon.

Great video. Helped answer my questions and gives me confidence to do it myself.

As you can tell by the time stamps of my comments. I can share with you some techniques to allow such a small RF meter to show good deflection at a distance for HF. You would need to feed the recrifying circuit via an inductor from the small antenna and it would have to be tuned to resonance. It is tricky and I haven't seen other radio enthusiasts do it yet. You have inspired me to demonstrate such a principal. It is tricky but with the appropriate magnetic material we can use an external magnetic field to tune to resonance. I'm not a crusty ham saying I know it all I am an experimental ham that hasn"t yet shared my knowhow. The differential sides of both the input and output need to be fed at opposite ends. Imagine, unlike a common mode choke over a ferrite that has two parralel conductors, we feed the two parralel conductors from the opposite sides which actually adds to the coherence of both the E and B fields. Two opposing currents running in opposite direction actually add together.

I like how you left the lugs on the side where you can add any sized element you want 🙏 Antenna element size is critical for the bands you are trying to use. Again, Great work my friend 🙏

We call these, "relative RF field strengrh meter".

What sandpaper did you use to get rid of the paint, please

Tensioner from a MsS250 is direct replacement.

your HS pants , look back at this video and think again , p,s Captain P there ive skipped that for a time,

Just did similar with my Redcrest. With both my bikes out to workshops, I had space in my garage to carry out some repairs. all came out well, now looking forward to a little dry weather this weekend to test!

send it back and ask for your money back....shoddy engineering!

GREAT VIDEO Very informative!. It's wonderful that someone takes the time to rescue older good quality items instead of dumping them in this disposable society. The accent was hard to understand, but subtitles solved that. Thank you!

I understood everything he was doing without talking. Good Job Evans

At this point, the planking is essentially glued-edge carvel.

Lettering them should of been a criminal offence

Shame you didn't show the exact mechanism operation.

Nice Video & Nice Work my Friend ⚡🙏⚡ 73 from the Prison Isle (Australia) VK3VKe 👌

I`ve got an ELU router too and had to change the upper bearing. It would have been very interesting to see how he took the bearings out of the body and special the upper one from the shaft. the same in assambling. when it became interesting the video speed increases to an terrible speed. conclusion: not very useful video for repair description.

👍I think you worked it out. These Pixie kits transmit a very low level carrier in RX mode, just above the TX frequency. It is because the TX power output transistor is being used as a multiplier (mixer) in RX mode.

I've just got hold of a redcrest here in NZ of the same vintage 1979. It had been in storage for years but didn't have any leaks or patches. The rear valve had been replaced with a newer type used on the more recent Avons. Had a slow leak in the inflatable seat valve. A squirt of WD40 loosened up the spring and is now sealed. I had a similar Redcrest as a tender to my sailing vessel for 6 years which survived many a bashing on rocks, shingle, concrete piers and attacks by local kids in various parts of the globe hell bent on its destruction.

I heard no pow oh wtf ?

Well, "back in the day" (horrible phrase), Elu weren't just "relatively good quality" - they really were the best routers on the market. BTW, the MOF96e shown was an 8mm router not a 1/4in, although many of thiose supplied in the UK came with a 1/4in (6.35mm) collet instead. Bearings for the MOF96 are still under a tenner in 2023, so not really a killer if they fail, but you do need a bit of technical nous to do the bearing swap.

Why did you not show us how to put it back together at normal speed?

Fabulous job!!! I have an Avon Scow I plan do to renovate myself, you've set the bar a bit high!!

Great review thank you. After researching all the log splitters I have after seeing your post ordered one of these for 1 reason and 1 reason only, I now know what i am buying and the potential faults to expect and how to overcome them. Thank you

A really informative, simple but good quality video. He knows his stuff!

I just got a this same boat. The valves are different on mine. They a steal and have little rubber plugs inside the screw on caps. To inflate, you unscrew the vales a turn or two and put the pump to it. Then, simply tighten them and the hold the airpressure.

Put an extension on the Ram. Keep it close to the pile. Extend the welds . Try to keep the mesh guard.

I bought one of these from Rock machinery and had all the same issue that you had, wish I had seen your video before purchasing, I feel it definitely serves a purpose but it has its limitations, good video and review pal 👍

O que mais me chama atenção nesses videos gringos é que as pessoas têm acesso as mais variadas ferramentas. Algo impossível de encontrar aqui no brasil e, quando encontramos, elas custam verdadeiras bagatelas. País desenvolvido é outra coisa.. ainda vivemos nos anos 60 aqui no Brasil em se tratando de tecnologia. É lamentável. 😞

You keep reminding me off how much there is to learn but your "hands on" videos make it easier to understand. Thank you Colin.

You have defeated all the “Safety” features by working two-handed. The guy who owns Super Split always says that any hand related accident he has heard of was the result of working two-handed, as in two people. People lose coordination and a hand gets trapped. Super Split is a universally lauded American kinetic splitter. If you look at one in operation, there is no second handle to occupy both hands and logs are manoeuvred on the table by being held midway along their length. Logs can be projected off at an angle, and standing near the motor is recommended to avoid leg injury. No idea where this is made, but it looks like a piece of Chinese tat!

Amazing! 6 minutes to get through them is impressive! Love the pva glue fix and so interesting to see the sticker marks 8 years on

thank you

Very useful video with good examples of how to use the meter. Many thanks - Shaun VK6BEK.

Litterally just bout to.order one maybe I won't now but I'd remove guards off before first use anyway

Nice fix. Another good tip is when you know you're putting them away for a while always make sure that the last time you fill and run them is with the factory produced pre-mixed fuel, not the stuff you mix yourself. I put Motomix in when i store mine for long periods and they start first time, every time when I go to use them again.

That choke coil needs to be 4 windings at 12.7 cm diameter (5"). You've got about 12 windings there. I really think that has adversely affected the other dimensions. Which, by the way, should actually be 147.69 cm for the radiating element, 49.02 cm for the tuning stub, 4.61 cm for the spacing between them, and 4.82 cm for the feed point matching dimension. I think if you make those changes, you should be in the ballpark for a fairly flat SWR across the band, with the lowest reading at 145.5 MHz. Also...the spacing between the two elements needs to be exactly 4.61 cm all the way along. Rather important. I have seen PVC tubing used as a spacer, or heat and bend them to the correct distance. Great video, though, because variations are in the realm of experimentation, and the results were fascinating. Thank you, and 73! NO8Z.

just make a flpwer pot antenna,,hahahaha nice vid.. cheers..

Great video. nice to see some wood processing content. I agree that the guards are always a pain and should be removed, but one caveat to that is make sure you're wearing the correct PPE because sometimes a log will explode outwards into your legs and/or feet so I wear my rubber chainsaw boots and protective pants over them to prevent any injuries when using my splitter. I got the shudders when the lady was using it wearing just leggings. One of those logs could have taken her knee cap off, yikes. I've got a 6 ton splitter here in Canada and can get through a lot of wood with it in a day so they're cool pieces of equipment for sure.

I heard him say “no bar oil,” what are you guys talking about 🤣

Blimey what a nightmare! Thanks for the detailed review, I’ll think twice before getting one myself.

Bloody hell looks like they should be offering you a job as head of quality control/machine designer. Definitely get some commission for the updated model they'll put out after seeing this! Top chopping from the landlady too!

You confirmed my experiment. My 017 is my favorite limbing saw. I traded out the .043 for a .050 just because I think the bigger kerf is more forgiving or visible with movement so you’re less likely to pinch your bar in the tree. I also thought putting a 7 on would make it faster/better, but the standard 6 is still the best for this one. That GB bar you have is sexxxy though!

One of the most comprehensive videos I’ve seen on saw chain performance.

I have one in a similar condition (before refurb). Can you suggest a place I could sell it? And a rough price? Would it be worth restoring to make a profit? Thanks
