i blocked it out with a stihl 341 and 15" bar, did the detail work with a stihl 180 and 12" dime bar

 

dime bar!! amazing what you can do with a chocolate covered toffee bar.:001_tongue:not heard that one before

 

i'm guessing thats one of those narrow tipped bars

 

do you have to have the chain loose on those?

[Steve Bullman]

yes, its the measure of the tip of the bar, same size as an american dime i believe....the larger option is a quarter bar, again, same size tip as a quarter.

the chains run very loose.....also a little petrol mixed in the the chain oil.

[firewoodman]

good tip!!

[Steve Bullman]
