Complete house brick inside the main crotch on an old horse chestnut. Also had to use 9 inch angle grinder in an old beech to remove steel framed tree house.

My mate found a brick in the first log he started to cross cut with his brand new chain

Sandstone buried in timber is known to attract brand new 36" chains. Pointless trying to sharpen them, straight in the bin.

Put a picture up please. Guns with a story are much more interesting.  I have one that I bought years ago from the son of the first owner,who after surviving WW1 died a few weeks after coming home by falling off a horse.
