Chainsaw Maintenance Website

[DriveLink]

The DriveLink is now also on Facebook, David Vickers | Facebook, with easy access to the chainsaw videos (and a MEWP one) via the Links element on the left-hand side.

This is good stuff thanks. I used a couple of your vids when doing my CS30. They're even more useful now I've got a chainsaw and have forgotten everything I learned by rote on CS30...

Especially like the cs30 crossword.

 

I have been toying with doing somthing similar for a while now. well done for beating me to it

 

If you're OK for it to be handed out to my victims, I will be sure they are aware of your link.

 

 

I was thinking of doing one for cs31 and for the utility arb units, Any chance they are in the pipeline :-)

 

Cheers

Certainly the CS31 crossword is in the pipeline - unless you want to beat me to it

 

I'll be posting the CS30 crossword answer sheet in a few days time too; and I'd be pleased for anyone to use it as necessary.

Sorry for a bit of a derail but does John Trenchard still do any training at Sparsholt?

No, neither John or Jo do any work up here now - haven't done for a little while.

Was just curious, did most of my training with John and went climbing at his dad's farm. Haven't seen him for a while and just wondered.

Oh, OK. John & Jo have been running their own business - ArborVenture for some time now.

Anyway, on a completely different note, I've been working on a felling video (split level cut / hung-up tree). The video is completed, the editing is done, now it just needs the audio recorded and overlaid... then it's ready: the latest DriveLink video

[DriveLink]

Hi,

 

I've just produced another DriveLink video; this five minute video looks at the split level cut, but I wanted to show more than that. If you're taking your NPTC felling assessment, then you know that you have to get a tree hung-up, and then deal with it.

 

I thought that one of the worst things that could happen is to complete a split level cut... then get it really hung-up. This is perhaps more important now that the new assessment schedules are up and running, you'll be expected to use a winch if you need to.

 

Anyway, you can find it at http://drivelink.blogspot.com.

 

Thanks,

David.

Starting on the 1st August, there's going to be a 7-part basic series about how the carburettors work on a chainsaw over at Drive Link - I hope it's of interest to a few of you..?

 

Cheers.

 

looking forward to it,

 

 

maybe pass it forward to stihl ms200t department:thumbup1:
