Carve Carr-bridge

[Roni Macdonald]

Thanks for posting pics, gives an idea of the sheer size of initial log. Some of the ripping was hard/slow going.

You should have come along to the ceilidh and had a bit of a dance.

 

 

We were tempted but had to drive back down the road in the morning and the wife has only got seven weeks left before she pups. So all that dancing an flinging about might set the cogs in motion

Was a last minute decision to go or i would have taken a big golf sale sign with me and synchronised watches.

 

Left at 5:30 am. Was up there for 9:30 and left just before the auction started. Back home at 8 :30. Long day but picked up a few tips and tricks and would probably have bugged me for another year if I hadn't have went.

 

Was happy to see Jonny Stableford win 3rd as he trained me for my CS30.

Loves his Stihl gear!!!!!!

 

Question for Roni if you please: I noticed all that Aspen 2 stroke sitting. Do all the competitors get that free? Do all the competitors use it?

You tryin to tell us you're not ready yet Craig? surely all systems are in place so an early start would be ok? (i can hear the fear )

Thats one of the things that is really concerning me for next year Roni, I dont have a saw big enough to handle that size log! to miss-quote Jaws, Im gonna need a bigger saw! Or find a loaner for the weekend (Hi craig )

[dervishcarving]

Larf Gnome, Craig and I were discussing the same thing

[Guss109]

I've not got a monster saw yet but I'm working on it so I might have one you could borrow.

[Roni Macdonald]

All carvers are offered 1 can Aspen free, not all like to use it as apparently increases engine revs and can possibly cause damage. I use it there and no problems.

[dervishcarving]

nice one Craig. I might have to look at a big saw sometime anyway, just not till it starts to pay for itself

Roni, I didn tknow that was still considered a real risk?

[Roni Macdonald]

It certainly appears to give higher revs and I guess in a part worn saw that could cause problems but what evidence there is I don't know.

Nice work roni sounds like you had a great weekend also! will have to get down to one of these shindigs in the future.
