Not a pet parrot but a very well trained fire extinguisher.. It has been trained to hang on the wall behind me in that photo Well, it is called Project Horse Gut For you view pleasure a very short intro video..... I might of got carried away with the "guts" side of it

well ian and i spent a bit of time today on the ugly duckling and just by mocking it up i think we will end up with a swan, what do you think

Gonna look nice when it's finished, I'll be watching the progress

SOLD!!!! deffenatly worth its weight

How about Horse - Gut's.

The first thing with any project is to see what state its actually in. I learnt a long time ago with disc cutters because of all the stone dust the engines tend to be knackered. This one has proved to be no exception. The cylinder and piston are chewed up, the main berrings have gone, the clutch berring has also failed. Suprisingly enough though the crank feels ok. This would entail quite considerable expense, however as luck would have Stihl used the same engine unit in their 08s chainsaw and normally these tend to be good mechanically due to the saw dust being harmless to the engine. In my store ive got a broken one of these so hopefully I can have most of the bits off this doner.

Certainly an improvement on the first photo. In the 4th photo of tonight, is that Ian's pet parrot on his left arm?

Definitely !

Well, we've had the Shakin Horse, now the Fake Horse!
