Will there be any mound left after you have a play in a 30t excavator?

i may need a few mo's to sort my curl boom & shovel hand but hopin so

Yep, something like that would do the trick, mate of mine had a truck wiper motor powering his bbq spit.

Hmmm, good idea. I bought one for a kontiki that I never got around to making, then thought I could make up some sort of haul-back winch with it but have decided to modify a lewis winch for that. So now it sits in the shed gathering dust awaiting another use for it, alongside the Murphy's Law one that mysteriously surfaced a week after I gave up looking and bought one. Maybe they'll mate and I'll have a herd of motors to use on the sawmill, eventually.

Quote- "The gauge of a shotgun is the measurement of the inside width of the barrel. The number refers to the weight, in fractions of a pound, of the largest perfectly spherical ball of lead that could fit into the barrel of the shotgun. A 12 gauge, for example, can fit a ball of lead weighing one-twelfth of a pound into its barrel. The gauge can usually be found written on the rear of the gun barrel, but if not, you can calculate it."

so an 8 gauge would take a ball of lead an 8th of a pound.

the ones peope shoot today are black powder and the new ones (8g & 4g) that take a shell are used for industrial eg: removing slag build up in kilns
