So does creosote. Love the smell and the tingle it brings to the skin ... ooh yummee. Bet its super effective against nits, fleas,worms and crabs.

Smells nice too. Also good for spots in a few years, well after the nits stage.

Nicely. Wordle 1,066 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Bit of luck in the mix there though.

I've never taken a electric or battery saw apart but I suspect they have a brake band the same as any petrol saw around a rotor on the electric motor. The front brake guard/lever works the same on all types of saw, pushed forward by your left hand and Inertia. The inertia bit is worked by the weight of the front guard/lever, as the saw kicks back or in the case of the saw in the video the saw stops when it hits the wood the energy or inertia of the weighted front handle throws it over the spring cam and applies the brake.

What a strange post.

That is the blanking plate for the inlet, I have used it many times, how on earth are you trying to fit it???

Magnolia i think.

so i bought the sealing plate above to pressure test my a 365 x torq as i read in multiple places this was the correct plate however unless something magical happens i dont understand how a simple circle metal plate with an 'inset' circle is supposed to fit with the strato divider? if anyone could put some light on this as to wether ive got the wrong part number or the wrong part in the right bag or what that would be great edit: so i just checked the workshop manual for the x torq range and it photographs and gives the part number for the plate ive got so now im even more confused? 😂

Has canker might of ring barked a branch hence blossom falling off etc. If possible prune out all affected parts https://www.rhs.org.uk/disease/apple-canker

Hello I have this tree and im thinking some type of sallow ? Its not in my book and unusual catkins the catkins are growing up from the end of the branchs and the leaf buds innitally have hairs on them untill they open. The catkins are also hairy at the base. The bark is smooth grey with spots on it Any thoughts ?

Hello, I live just outside of Cambridge (CB23) and will happily pay for unprocessed wood I can cut up myself and split for firewood. Hardwood, softwood or a mixture is fine, and it can be as knotty/rooty as you like. If it's seasoned, that's a bonus, but I'd not plan on using it for a year or so anyway. We have lots of space with good access so can accept a large amount if easier/better.

You are quite correct, we had to stop using an electric saw on the test leg, due to the addition inertia of the heavy armature it could cut through the safety material.

If they repurposed the town centres as residential at least from office space and upper floors of shops that might attract people to live and shop there revitalise them that way. The ever increasing expansion away from the town into the fields drives a retail park and amazon culture - if you are going to drive anyway, might as well go for the free parking. However if you lived above the shops in an upmarket flat, sorry apartment, then the shops you live by will get your custom. Might get the counsellors interested in town centres again enough to send some funds towards the homeless or rehabilitation places?

A bit OT but some time back, on this forum, it was pointed out that an electric saw was directly coupled to the chain, so the brake had to stop the chain and the armature which has more momentum to overcome than the brake band on the clutch having to stop the drum and chain and slip the clutch. It was in the context of a full power test on chainsaw trousers, the electric saw carried on cutting further.

The answer is in the name, inertia, in early saws we had no brake, this moved on to a brake that did work by the hand guard hitting the back of the wrist if a kick back occurred, unfortunately in the felling position there is no way for the wrist to come in contact with the hand guard, so next stage was an automatic brake ( Swed o matic ) as Husqvarna called it, here the engine unit would move on the anti vib mounts and an adjustable button on the brake, or on the handle would actuate the brake, unfortunately this was dependent on correct adjustment, and anti vib mount condition, so the inertia brake was born, weights are set in the hand guard, now due to the veracity of the kick back the guard tries to stay still as the saw body moves back thus bringing the brake on, Husqvarna now have what we call a knee link inertia brake, probably one of the most reliable brake there is, there is also the trio brake, this is a third way to bring the brake on, fitted to the rear handle this combats what is known as a slow kick back where the chain can run up the limb with insufficient inertia to bring the brake on. So in my humble opinion the test in the video is absolutely correct, and should work with both petrol and electric/ battery machines. End of todays lesson and apologies if insult any bodies intelligence.

Saw some on an oak at Westonbirt on Friday, don’t see them too often.

I bought this tree 2 years ago. Planted it in an area that gets really good light and exposure whilst being protected from strong winds.We got a small amount of fruit last year. I noticed this year that the blossoms come out then turn brown and fall off in clusters. The tree is growing well other wise but it's been insanely wet this year. I'm hoping this isn't something serious but could use the opinion of someone with a little more knowledge.

That town I grew up in got a new retail park that is great, even get free parking, at the same time it got parking meters on the High Street and the town square. Talk about killing the town centre off! I choose to live how I do, I meet many that don’t have that choice in

Well, he did state it was an electric chainsaw in his original post, so maybe that's where some confusion is coming from down the list of comments? ...and it has turned into a mobile phone forum 😁

Same thing was in the Wii remotes 🙂. Kinda assumed if it was Husqvarna, they would have done something like that as they're heavily into robotic mowers.

OK. It probably depends on what saw the has then. He’s probably gone off to try and get a more succinct answer from a moble phone forum.

Ok . Thank you
