Chainsaw milled a 20 ft log - wouldn't want to go longer - you never seem to be getting anywhere!
-
No worrys - cheers for the pics.
-
Have sent a PM as I'd be interested in buying it off you! Looks a nice butt.

I can't see the attraction of camper vanning.... Unless you're using it all the time I can see it being expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and most of the time it'll sit there doing nothing.... ....then when you do want to use it there'll always be something that won't work! My younger brother got a Mazda Bongo last year Mazda bongo, ford freda, mazda Bongo for sale, mazda bongo conversions at Algys Autos ltd and proved this theory correct!

Superb work - there's a real sense of 'presence' with these carvings... very much look like something that's been alive then frozen... ... prob doesn't make much sense! Very good indeed. -
Wow - looks good. Might consider a crack at making something like the first pic one day!
-
Like to do it but wouldn't have much of a clue how to go about it.... couldn't see the pics by the way!
-
£20 for a chain on a 4ft bar sounds about right.... sounds a lot but it is a fair amount of work.... on a 16" bar there will be around 30 teeth, on a 4ft bar 70 teeth...

Has there ever been a "biggest tree felled" thread
Rob D replied to David Riding's topic in General chat
That's good going! I like a foot of bar poking out the other side to make sure I don't cut through the hinge! -
Most likely down to poor chain sharpening and or worn bar.

If you're doing some milling with it I'd hang onto it.... As long as it's reliable and you're not having to tinker with it I'd keep it and get a 660 as well. After a month or 2 if you then think 'really not going to use the 070 anymore' sell it then - they are hard to find in good nick. Personally I'd keep it and leave it on the mill and have it expressly as a milling saw.

Sent an e-mail to TRADA the experts on timber ref selling as firewood - they said 'odd choice for firewood but yes it's fine to use' Which is handy as the pile I have a good third of it will be firewood in the end. Not had much more time to mill any but am going to do a load for a floor for my brother in his cellar....
-
As above about a £100 to £120
-
Hefty looking set up
-
See if you can ID the chain using info on the bar. You want the pitch (prob .325) guage (prob 1.3mm/.050 or 1.5mm/.058) and the number of drive links to get a new chain. Examples here Chain | bar | sprocket identification 2

About right I reckon - I think the Peterson takes around the same time to get set up.... can be fiddly getting it out the trailer as I tend to leave the blade on to save time - this leaves only a cm or so clearance but has worked fine so far....
-
Looks good - how long would you say it takes to set up the Lucas in a place like that?
-
One of the best vids I've seen thanks for posting.... Amazing how they did it then.... looked like it was a case of clear felling then moving onto the next area which is a shame..... but still incredible to see.
-
Precision work like that scares me some! Good job
-
The only saw I find runs roughly on it is an MS211.... everything else seems fine. I think the higher cost is down to production - as a greener fuel it should be subsidised to get the cost down.
-
Great pics especially the ones of the second piece of yew - lovely colours and pips in that
-
What saw do you have Chris? I have the 60" Stihl bars for 880/090 mount etc? You'd get a 54" cut with that.
-
Where the people buy the fake stihl saws from!
Rob D replied to showoffsummer's topic in General chat
You get what you pay for. If it doesn't last then even at a cheap price to throw it away and buy another - do this 3 times and suddenly they're not looking so cheap. I've had a couple of cheap saws for rough work but only lasted 6 months..... -
Ho ho very good!
-
Nice to hear some feedback on multi cut... Personally I still can't decide whether it does keep an edge better or not. It's def slower cutting IMO but I have not tried a direct comparison but have a load of greenheart piles that I may try a multi cut vs semi on.
