76.5cc so prob would not really want to go longer than 28" IMO.

Just getting over a bout of it brought on by too much sanding.... Physio twice a week (from a good physio) and it's under control after 3 months. Niggly but can now work a good few hours a day. There is no magic pill and it comes down to a combo of physio, strapping, changing the way you work and rest.....

It's a tricky one but if the chainsaws you're using work then I'd stick to em for now.... People like different saws for different reasons and the only real way of knowing if you like one is to use it!
-
Have used one for 3 months although mainly for rustic furniture making - what's the question? i.e. fire away! I find them very good i.e. good balance and use very little fuel. I've just had one of these ones from wales as I want one with a carving bar and one to run a de barker. If you're after one PM Mutley as I've forgotten the number as they had 2 left when I spoke to them

As above things can only go sour with you working in the field and her with an axe to grind as you'll be an easy target to vent on.... If you have to do it I suppose the only advice is try to be civil whatever she does... don't envy you mate!

That's excellent! I like the way the root plate helps half way through the pull!

See what I don't get is why don't they call it 'full chisel' instead of super? Or call it 'semi-chisel' instead of 'micro'? Or call it 'low vibe' and not 'comfort'? etc etc etc RapidSuperComfort - call it 'Low vibe chisel' Why do they (and Oregon) have to go out of their way to make it sooooo complicated????

Not really sure what that means Dave - can you elaborate? If it's to say that well off people get more (i.e. through grants etc) then there may be some truth in that.... But from my experiences you need to really put the time in to see what's out there and what you can apply for. Look to see if you're in a RDPE area ARCHIVE: Defra UK; RDPE - Leader as I got a grant from them. But it's not a 5 minute job applying....

To be fair we don't know that and he may well of offered if it had been someone bigger. He didn't start shouting or making a meal of it he just threw him off. He was backing up the authorities. There was force used but not violence. I can only say well done big man and if I see him I'll show him a valid ticket then buy him a pint!

Hard to see from the pics but looks to have good colour. Can you get a few pics looking in to the trunk so you can see the sap ring and brown heartwood? Bit far for me but looks to be worth milling if someone is closer..

I'm putting a vertically cutting mini mill up for grabs - works well with the alaskan.
-
Still quiet round here for me at the mo with a couple of loads out a day....
-
interesting method milling with the mini mill
Rob D replied to offgridchris's topic in Panther Mill UK
Good find Chris. I've started thinking more about quarter sawing.... today was planing some big oak boards and it was killing me moving them around and as they had distorted (but not much) half of it ended up as sawdust. Ref the mini mill I'm not sure I agree with him on that as I find it not as accurate as the horizontal mills and also harder work. And it is def not as accurate on big logs - that said really 25" bar should be the max you use. With a longer bar the flex causes the tip to wander. -
Pretty big gusts here at the moment and looking at the charts it's strong winds all the way to Saturday from now on! :scared1:
-
I don't think it matters too much.... just vented sides, open front and slanting roof. Oh and a few pallets to keep the wood off the ground!
-
I don't envy you - I gorged so much on conny bashing I'd not ever like to see another one again!
-
Good vid... I imagine you have to be be accurate in judging the weight of each section in a job like this.
-
I'd have not thought there would have been much of a market over here with the Forestry Journal and £5-00 does sound a bit steep.... I've not had one either

the wife says its the last night of x-factor.......

Me think he doth protest too much? -
Play it to people twice then sing it all day and see how much they can take!
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
I dunno it seems to keep me going through the day! -
Me as well.... and all my deliveries are for repeat customers rather than new ones. There are a few in the paper mind you (around 13 people advertising locally)... Will be the first time I've not sold out before Chrimbo!

Hopefully he'll make a full recovery.
