Morning, definitely cooler this morning and leaves are taking a turn. Slower paced day for us today. I’m a bad guy today, removing a swing from a tree on council land for health and safety, 3rd time. I really should cut this kids dad in on a %😂

Anyone?

As arbs we have such a rare privilege to climb and interact with these beautiful trees 🙏🏻

Would you do it for £65 cash?

The best bit about this thread is that I've finally identified the very close cartoon likeness to Mick that's been somewhere in the back of my mind for about five years. Ave Mick!

I had aspirations to purchase F2 as the thought of being able to take it away for security was very appealing. I had issues with M8 being set up and attracting unwanted interest and interference. Your situation sounds idea for F2 and the leap in price to a bandsaw (for me) would be a big problem. I hope your luck improves.

i would have included the exact same saws - ms400 and ms261 ! Both amazing saws

Glad it'll be getting some use. Thank you for your (almost) unwavering patience! At least the forum now has definitive proof that you're not an AI bot 🙄
