I would suggest 2 years suspended with a fine and large number of hours community service. The interesting thing is Grahams has been in custody since December for his own protection after being attacked?

Sounds like a succinct summary of my career.

Tricky one. I can see them getting 36 months. They could have probably got a suspended sentence if they'd pleaded guilty. I reckon a few months planting saplings in The Cheviots would be better than throwing them in jail, they're not bright enough to be a threat to general society. They should also have to sign up to Baldrick's School of Cunning Plans.

ive worked on loads of sites that have tried it and I just tell them to pay me in full as I'm not on that scheme and they always do -
The judge coined a catchy strapline to the story for sure;- "A moronic mission of mindless vandalism".

How steep was the slope?! Got a few sloping sections in my garden and was thinking about a ride on, but maybe a robotic mower would be less risky...

I'm with you on thickness for this sort of size saw and use. I think there's a tipping point where the advantages of removing less wood are outweighed by the worse chip evacuation (like friction of water against the wall of small ID pipe). Bigger kerf is nicer for gobs too. Either just using two or three kerfs to make a little square gob, having to do a longer cut diagonal to the grain on bigger gobs or having to do a lot of both to turn a gob to sawdust when you're right over something fragile that the gob piece could break and you can't easily catch it and throw it.

I think normal 220 chain is 3/8 pico 1.3mm.

Just my observations, so I'm happy to be corrected here. I'd say that's absolutely true for the likes of .325, going from 1.5mm to 1.3mm. The problem with the ¼" 1.1mm chain is it loses width quickly, too quickly, with every stroke of the file. With a brand new chain or just one or two sharpens in, you can bury the bar (12" on my msa200) in thick wood and it tears through it no problem. I've sectioned down and felled 18" timber with it. Once you are a few sharpens in though, it bogs down easier and easier, until it starts to cut out even on 6" to 8" timber. Not a problem on pruning jobs, but it means swapping to the 550 (in my case) a good bit sooner on a dismantle, which is annoying. While still not a big fat chain, I don't believe this problem is as pronounced on the ⅜ 1.1mm chain that the bigger electric/battery saws use. You get longer in the sweet spot and much more lifespan from the chain before they get bogged down... but, having never used one, I'm happy to be schooled on this front! So the plan is to have the MSA161t for pruning and lighter stuff, so unlikely to be burying the bar in anything thicker than 6", and able to sharpen the chain to extinction. And keep the 200 for dismantles (and a chipper saw afterwards...), with a longer-lived chain that doesn't mind being buried for more of its life. I happen to have a ¼ and a ⅜ 1.1mm here for comparison. Yuge difference.

There's only one way to resolve this: we need a field under the member profile for average Wordle score. In the name of transparency I hereby call for that to be filled out henceforth by all members of the AWL!

I'm sure you've probably sorted it by now but on the 61-3 it's under the floor, right near the door. Silver handle, turn it 90° 👍 never used the -2 so not sure if it's the same

Quite. That momentum you speak of is a double edged sword. From a positive aspect it means that the organisation is much less susceptible to the dangers of Populism. The Pope and the Potus couldn't be much more different in that respect.

I remember talking to my Husqvarna rep years ago when we were main dealers for that brand I said why do you provide grease holes and Stihl don't? He said 'if you don't grease the bar sprockets through the little grease hole on Husqvarna bars from day one, then never do. If you decide to from day one, then continually do it....it's either, or but never both.

We seem to live our lives vicariously through our phones these days. I was at a VE Day event the other day and there was a Spitfire and Hurricane fly by. I looked around and almost everyone in the big crowd had their phones pointed at the sky. I got mine out to do the same but quickly realised that what I could see on the little screen was crap compared to looking directly at the sky with my eyes, and what was the point in recording it for posterity? It'll just be an underwhelming video of a little aeroplane for ever afterwards.

Not at all Peter, pay no heed to the AWL spouting the usual negative comments. I think we both know our worth here having done plenty high level wordling in our time. Those that have been on this thread regularly will know that themselves!
