Sending out 80-100 a month and have had a FedEx account for 3 years.... it's not the large parcels that are a problem but the 1kg to 4kg ones that I used to send Royal Mail....
-
They need to be under tension or otherwise they will vibrate lose. Do you have any pics to illustrate? Would be easier to help. I've found that yes they can vibrate loose - but even if they do not found it affects the first cut that much in terms of accuracy. There's a vid here if it helps

Free delivery on everything is now at an end on the CSB website.... just not sustainable in long term... Problem is that Royal Mail charge £5-00+ now as soon as you go over 1kg. BUT if you live in Northern Ireland and Scotland and only want a small item (under 700grams so small chain, rim etc.) then put in 'freepost' in the voucher code option. This will make the postage free. Also on mainland UK orders all orders over £100-00 go free still.

Apparently it spaults well..... I'd say it's worth milling but you'll have to work hard finding buyers - always the problem IMO!

Purpleheart, Greenheart, Opepe, Azob etc suitable for turning

I'd get some pictures up here - get people excited by grains and colours it's pics people want to see!! -
It'll be a lot wetter in the middle! unless covered, off the ground in a very windy place!
-
Elm has to be one of my favourite timbers - what a shame there ain't none left down this way. Looks like a good pile from that job.
-
Too far for me to come out but if you think there's anything I can help with PM me and good on you lads and Matty for doing this.
-
Tis £180-00+vat - 4% free delivery.
Cheers, Rob (make sure you sign up on my chainsawbars.co.uk website!)

Looks good - thanks for sharing and welcome to the forum
-
Ditto - give us as many pics and info as possible and you'll get much more interest. It's hard to tell if any tree is worth milling over a phone call. If you have a butt to sell or get milled you must drown people in info.
-
Ha ha - one day I'll take you up on that - but will be a while at this rate. .... but shouldn't be too hard to bring in green as there's loads of oak comes in all the time from Europe....
-
I've never really "got" twitter - although it's on my site.... But other people seem to like it...
-
Such a shame - seems the same in Sweden where Josh is there's lots of wood like this just gets binned.... when I've made lots of money I'll buy a big truck and come and get some! Remind Mike I still have that big GB bar here when he's back in the country....
-
That's got to be some nice timber in that Mozz - will you be milling it?
-
Thanks Steve - I'll have Husky up there soon - just ironing out the database over this week. I have all the Husky stuff in stock - mainly just Oregon as all husky chain is oregon chain rebranded. Husky do make their own bars up to 24" but then they rebrand powermatch bars for the longer ones.... Have not stocked Husky bars as I don't think they are better than Oregon version. Do have most of the cannon bars in the husky mounts as well.
-
Great post I'll have to remember that looks ideal for nasty jobs.
-
I know exactly what you mean - My thoughts are 'well what can I do about it?' - I try and give money regularly to the ITF www.internationaltreefoundation.org/ although only when my credit card is £0!
-
I've seen those diamond stone cutting chains and although they sound cool all it is is little sand sized flecks of diamond on the back of the tooth - they would not cut wood and with the water they use as lube will make a lot of mess. Carbide will disintegrate when it hits stone... I'd just buy a good few chains is the cheapest option.
-
Clearly i dont have a clue about forestry or arboriculture, but...
Rob D replied to Ganit's topic in Video forum
It's his first post and he's taken the time to put a vid up and this is the best reply you can give? Working like that 4 weeks for no money is hardly lazy Good on you for sticking it as long as you did - the only thing you can do is keep trying until you find something better. Keep your head down and keep looking. -
Cheers for that Darryl!
-
Electric saw sounds like it would be just the job in your situation and as said the largest Stihl one I think is pretty good...
-
Isn't the dura sharp chain a carbide chain? I've experimented with carbide a few years ago and despite what you read on many forums I really can't see a place for it in 99.99% chainsaw operations.... when it is as sharp as it can possibly be it cuts like a dull steel chain, it still gets dull and if you hit something you can write the chain off - and it costs a fortune! As spud says get the oregon 95vpx set up - slightly narrower kerf, easy sharpening and very quick indeed! The cutters seem a mite shorter and chain will not last as long but after the picco duro chain it'll feel like it's a different saw! Can buy here on my site Chainsawbars ? bars, chains and chainsaw accessories but register first, e-mail me on [email protected] and I'll set the discount.
-
To be fair he is only 13.... Comments read - -will you sharpen the chain - gawd! -yah I just sharpened the chain! Quite an achievement to carve that mushroom with a chain like that

Hard day and a few close calls am i losing it?
Rob D replied to wrekin tree care's topic in Climbers talk
We all make mistakes and misjudgements but they will always happen - it's how you deal with them when they do happen... sounds like you dealt with them fine
