Title: 100912 Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 10, 2012, 05:26:26 PM Some finds for your perusal from today. Got a real beauty of a bagseal.
Any ideas how to remove the very tightly wedged in stone, from the beehive? cheers & enjoy Title: Re: 100912 Post by: Zeus (Joel) on September 10, 2012, 05:33:45 PM drill it ?!?

Title: Re: 100912 Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 10, 2012, 07:06:13 PM thanks one and all for the helpful advice, if all else fails, i guess its a choice between leaving it, or sucking it! ;D ;D ;D ;D
happy hunting Title: Re: 100912 Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 11, 2012, 07:50:43 AM Just a quick update, thanks to the expertise of Metalmickey and the Doc, i am happy to report that their recommendation worked and the stone has now been removed. I am so relieved not to have to resort to techony's advice!
The thimble has been through the wars, it looks as if sometime during its life, it was under a bonfire as one side is scorched. Piccies later cheers Title: Re: 100912 Post by: rookypair on September 11, 2012, 05:52:25 PM Love the bagseal, Webbs seedsmen though time became Unwins - a name mose people recognise.
