What's on your bench today?

Yeah that would fit my dad would have got the 80 cc saw in the 80s, second or third hand. Happy memories in these bleak times.

Cheers mate those pictures of an old chainsaw have really made my day, funny how little things like that seem more important now.

Yup, after a bad day, I thought I would try to fire it up and despite the wife's chastising, it went pretty well. I reckon we should have a day when we fire up our loudest machines to thank the NHS....reckon it may be a glorious day

[Andrew McEwan]

That's a great idea, a 'rev the nuts of anything loud' NHS salute

 

Might get evicted from my road mind

Don’t think Greta would be pleased !☠️

[peatff]

Do I have to check to see which is loudest ? Get ready neighbours.

Nah, straight down the picco

Stihl do a kit but includes the bar and all

[Dan Maynard]

They've brought out a new narrow chain that is .325, may be worth a look? Supposed to be 20% faster, of course I just bought two of the old chains.

Light 04 is the bar, obviously you still need to change bar to suit narrower gauge.

[Stihl123]

yeh i've seen that, they do this kit and was just interested to give it a go and meant to be pretty fast in soft wood!
