Cruncher vs. the fence. Post Buddy fence post repair kit

[@danielrussell446]

Wow what a great idea and a worthwhile solution to repair close boarded fence we have the same issue so probably will look at purchasing some great video again graham and great job

[@Radiocruncher]

Thanks Daniel. They certainly saved a lot of time, effort and money

[@richardyardley5127]

Great bit of fixing kit that. I have a leaning post in my garden. Makes the whole fence look bad and it will stress the other posts in time. Great tip Graham ☺

[@Radiocruncher]

Thanks Rich. Easy enough to do if you have a big hammer and cider to hand

[@danishnative9555]

Set your posts in concrete that is above soil level. Here in US we have a cardboard tubular product called Sonotube that is perfect for doing that. If you can afford the extra cost, use treated posts. Wood at ground level always fails from rot, damp and insects. In hindsight, you did great. Cheers Graham.

[@Radiocruncher]

Thanks that sounds feasible. My repair has stood up to some strong winds and hasn’t budged yet but if it fails again then it will be replaced

[@derricktaffman3887]

Well I was going to take a fence but ended up with the gate instead Graham. Nice to see you outside in the fine weather. 👍👍

[@Radiocruncher]

Very good Derrick 😆. I certainly had a nice day for it

[@DJ_Cthulhu]

Takes me back to the 1980's when I had a job maintaining fences and drystone walls around the Ladybower and Derwent resevoirs. :-)

[@Radiocruncher]

Sounds very nice Ninja

[@b.2221]

Nice job Graham , and thanks for keeping us posted LOL 😂👍 Tam.

[@Radiocruncher]

I see what you did there Tam 🙉

[@SweeneyTTodd]

Very nice reminds me of building construction foundation work , piling best regards Shaun

[@Radiocruncher]

Piling! I suppose it was a pretty big hammer

[@jessede1970]

Can you do more videos like this i enjoyed it Graham more of these garden videos please ❤️👍🤗

[@Radiocruncher]

Thanks Jess. I will see what else I can come up with if you are interested

[@paulcollins9839]

I've since bought a couple of these Graham, a good lump hammer get them through mine's a 4.5 pounder, soon pushed it's way through, workshop I've not had anytime to get into my New Workshop Yet, she keeps finding things for me to do.

[@Radiocruncher]

That’s great that you tried them as well Paul. It’s a great solution and seems to hold up well

[@M6JKW]

Nice job Graham 👍

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Interesting to see you out of the natural environment.

[@Radiocruncher]

There’s life beyond the workbench. Hammer time!

[@spankysmp]

Bloody hell - it was like an episode of Out Of Town. Jack 'Radiocruncher' Hargreaves. You need a pipe. Next episode - Apple grafting and Mole catching.

[@jeffsmith50001]

Yes indeed. A Falcon pipe and Condor ready rubbed. Stand back admire your work, fire up and have a puff.

[@Radiocruncher]

Lmao very good Simon. Sadly I do remember that series. Didn’t he like a bit of trout fishing as well? We have got a mole problem so could be episode 2 😆

[@Radiocruncher]

I suppose I could get a pipe and a flat cap for the next one

[@roberthead127]

It`s the Dogs pissing on the posts that rot them if you used a bitumun type paint and paint it 18" above the ground it should delay the rottjng process. Cambridge council spend thousands on metal lamp posts rotted just the same. xx

[@Radiocruncher]

Well said Rob. I'm not sure that was the case here though

[@raceingdemon6464]

Great Job Graham And Expertly Done May I Say !! Got My Blue RP25 Fixed As I Accidentally Connected Batterys The Wrong Way Round And Smoked The OC71 Transistor Between The Output Pair... The Output Pair Survived But i Found That It Is Very Noisey With The Volume Turned Down Have Sent Away To Rapid For Some Caps And Some BC109 Transistors To Replace The Lockfits On The Amp Board Hope This Fixes it Regards mike.

[@Radiocruncher]

Thanks Mike. Don’t worry I won’t give up the day job 😉. Sorry to hear the issue with the RP25. It’s usually the driver transistors that suffer from accidents so good luck sorting it. If you are stuck for parts let me know. Worth replacing the 2 presets as well.

[@FredWilbury]

Good job sir it’s a shame very few people concrete above ground level and chamfer concrete away from the post 😊 anyways good repair

[@Radiocruncher]

Yes, you are right Fred and thanks

[@drbhaskarchatterjee]

Hi,How is the post holding now as it has been a year. Thanks .

[@Radiocruncher]

Hi. In the storms we had earlier this year it split the screws out of the post with the force of the wind. I relocated and fitted longer screws and it’s still holding nicely

[@AstonsVintageTechnologyWorkshp]

Good to see you at your 'post'. :P Need to train the doggies to wear tool harnesses and help out carrying stuff. :)

[@Radiocruncher]

They normally appear carry tools if I leave the tool box open

[@stanleyrobinson9208]

Cider and BBQ food? Graham........ I’ll be round in 5 mins!

[@Radiocruncher]

I’ll see what else I can find for you to fix Stanley

[@jeffsmith50001]

Doing a load of pork belly over charcoal in a adapted garden incinerator with a bit of apple wood tomorrow Stanley. Bit of digging over to do. Loads of Cider. Come on over lol.

[@zx8401ztv]

I was thinking linseed oil for some reason, keeps the water out of wood maybe?. My memory is full of useless crap ha ha :-D Yep those post buddys made it a lot stronger, good job graham :-D Shame you didnt have a mate that had an impact tool, that would have been better for you. Now tune the post with the screws lol :-D

[@Radiocruncher]

Thanks Harvey. Come to think of it I do have an impact tool.

[@BoB4jjjjs]

he did all that without a beer, bet he had one when he finished though :-)) :-D

[@Radiocruncher]

He many have had a few later 😉

[@denniscarney1444]

The introduction is way too long. There are also too many commercials.
