He is a top bloke with impeccable credentials and knowledge, pay attention and enjoy the course, hopefully it won’t be pissing down.

[david wood]

yeah few folks have said he is great so thats really nice start...

got hi lifts currently soaking in water as had dried out horribly, boss assures me donald will have a tirfor.

 

taking a beat up 357 on 15 inch bar as apparently thats max bar size.

 

our training folks yet to send out course info so as yet i dont even know where site is or where to meet so am sure this be fun....

I could be wrong ( its such a long time ago )  but I think the 15" bar is the smaller tree course .  70cc on a 20 or 24" comers to mind .

You did yours on a bow saw! ?

[Khriss]

Nope. Big tree course will be 15" as cos yr demonstrating poking yr hinge out an yr cuts are more accurate with smaller saw. ( plus you dont get puffed out by end of day ! ) K
