saw this at weird and wonderful wood at the weekend, nice and simple really and look great, some of the fittings people were using looked pretty industrial and didnt suit the timber really, but i really liked this simple dovetail
-
that was an ace song certainly one of easier to remember
-
hmmm think that will have to wait, fancy a 560xpg though although the 372 does a grand job and the new 346xpg is an awesome saw no replacement for displacement, stihl fs550 for clearing saw, destroyer of large areas of scrub in a hurry oh and back to the original question, yes its mint doing forestry work
-
husky's rule (except for their big saws and clearing saws ) and some random woodland pictures of a poplar plantation mmmm nice
-
so whos standing with the apple on their head as a target or did i miss that post?

What to do with Silver Fir & Western Hemlock
Charlieh replied to Brushcutter's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
buy a firewood processor and sell it bulk as softwood logs, im sure come about january time people will buy anything they can get there hands on or is it to big for that? -
Hi, yes we do indeed have a tractor mounted planter, its in the workshop currently having two new electro spools fitted, but if you want drop us a pm for a chat.
-
contact the small woods association, they run a course via a guy near burton on trent designed for what your after, its a lot cheaper than lantra/nptc but covers enough for home use
-
we must have a nest close to us, as on about 5 occassions we have had one visiting my shed to strip timber off it, you can hear it munching from several meters away, wood wasps/horntails scare the hell out of me, despite knowing they cant sting you, when one takes off close to you you know about it at upto 6cm long they look huge

0.043 is 1.1mm (this is the really naff stuff stihl stick on polesaws, ms192 and ms170s) 0.050 is 1.3mm 0.058 is 1.5 0.063 is 1.6 The gauge of the chain has no bearing on the sprocket or rim if your using a rim drive, so you could swap, the one thing i will stress is make sure that your chain supplier is selling you the true narrow kerf chain like 95vpx, not just an 0.050 gauge chain as this wont work as well, as the cutters on the true narrow kerf chain are narrower no probs, tbh i normally use wedges on stuff that i cant push up a bit by hand anyway, i have had to make a second smaller cut in the backcut on a couple of occasions for some that had slight back leans on them, but its not a major problem, just handy to be aware of it
-
or the micro-lite pro range same make but narrower kerf 0.050 instead of 0.058 gauge (unless your using a felling lever a lot, as they dont fit in the back cut as easily)
-
not on mine, Jonesie's has done them so they just have a extra gap between two cutters, if you had an extra 2 or 3 drive links then you would end up with two cutters on the same side I should also add mine is on narrow kerf chain so its not cutting so much timber, thus requiring less tourque EDIT: on a 8pin sprocket i wouldnt add two drive links, one is sufficent
-
8pin sprocket over a 7pin increases chain speed by 14%, so in softwoods and smaller diameter timbers it means the chain speed is faster and picks up quicker
-
I run 8pin on my 346xpg and when i have new chain made up i have and extra drive link inserted as a standard chain will have to be forced onto the sprocket, with a 9pin you would probably want two extra drive links, tbh im not sure how well the saw would run a 9pin but mine is ace with 8pin on it
-
Went yesterday for a few hours, sorry to have missed you Andy as has been said its a fantastic show with something for all ages, really good demonstrations and some great woodland products, I spent a lot of the time taking photos for ideas for milling projects and speaking to the people on the stalls who were really helpful and approachable I will definatly being trying to get to this again in the future as there was so much for children to do (even the wife and my folks had a good day! )
-
I had an 070 do something very similar to this, turns out it was a bar fault, so maybe swap the bar if you can borrow one and see if it clears the fault, or stick a spare chain on the bar you have
-
why not just buy a lhd version?

when you have to kill every last rhodie in the room
Charlieh replied to bareroots's topic in General chat
How big are the trunks as we have been working on some recently and whilst it was about 9ft high we have pulled 90% out by the roots by hand! and those that we couldnt we have cut off and are treating with glyphosate check the fellside isnt SSSI/SAC/SPA as you may need Natural England consent for the herbicide as a potentially damaging op or if there are any watercourses through the site then its best not to spray within a couple of meters of this without EA consent -
first thing i do with any ebay saws in nip the exhuast off and check the state of the piston!
-
Mandarin ducks are very colourful, they will scrap pretty well with little owls for nesting holes in trees, we have a walnut tree local to us and each year the mandarins turn up and try to force out the little owls un-successfully, that habitat is ideal for them, as the ducklings will have a softer landing when leaving the nest. If there are any big cavities in the trees they will probably nest in them!

after a copy of FC Bulletin 115
Charlieh replied to Charlieh's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
cheers, had tried to find it for ages on there and the TSO website but made no headway, will see about getting a copy ordered up -
Hi, Im interested to try and get at copy of this report, I have seen it referenced a lot of times, but cant find a copy anywhere, unless im just being naff at searching Would anyone on here have either a PDF of it, or a papercopy i could prehaps borrow for a week or two and then return it Many thanks Charlie
-
Nope usual conservation area, tpo's SSSI's etc etc
-
nope
-
not true, if the woodland habitat or wood pasture is one of the features for the designation then they are protected under the SSSI certain areas up here you need to have natural england consent for tree works as they fall under the potentially damaging operations section of the SSSI
