Thanks em3! To be honest using power tools for ramming is really not very effective unless u have an ultra small team. The best way is to get a good team of volunteers and do it by hand. It takes just a few weeks or maybe a month and is by far the most fun part when done in a group.

If u use power tools then you can only work on one tyre at a time. To buy 10 or more costs a lot and they are not fun tools to work with. So its actually much slower and much less fun! Also ramming can be done by virtually anyone so u can get the cheapest labour or volunteers. Ive had 6 year olds and 70'yeat olds ramming with me.. we put music on and had a
Blast!!!

And yes i 100% agree we need more doing and less talk!!!! Just do it is my motto!!'
