Fair enough but what have you found that is more expensive? I looked at all other retail sites (inc Clarkes) and prices are either a little above, the same or even cheaper. I'm glad you found it easy to navigate as this was one of the primary aims of the site.

Cheers.... yes I think it looks like I'll try to add Husky sooner than I thought... Firewood processors bits - do Oregon do the sprockets for these? If they don't it would be difficult to get the parts on a trade basis.

Ahhh - yep makes perfect sense. Thanks

Ho Ho! Knew I was doing something wrong by hanging onto that saw cutting thing

You're right but the trouble is with the length of some of the chains and with how the boxes are styled it's not possible to fit it in.... But I know what you're saying it would be better to have it there before you have to click it.

That is a seriously tall tree. I noticed that as the top came off there was very little 'twang' - how'd you get the top to come off cleanly like that? Small gob and cutting through the hinge as it goes over?

I see what you mean.... It just starts getting a bit complicated with doing all the links.....

That's prob what will end up happening. But to do that within the site you have to then give every item a weight and then get the site to calculate how much for each destination.... For the future that's what I'll be aiming for but for now I opted for the easier option

Thanks - the carving bars are there in the 'more info' bit on pages 4, 5 and 6 of the bar manual pdf.

Yes Husky and Stihl have different bar mountings.... but Husky is part of 'phase 2' planned in 3 months.

It is there in the section on vat and delivery. £25-00 + vat which is what I pay UPS up to 25kg..... not cheap I know... I will send smaller bits via royal mail but this will have to be via a phone order. At this stage to get the site to work out postage by weight was too complicated. From Alaskan mills several orders via royal mail get lost in the post and it's almost impossible to claim back the money. So all website orders will go by signed courier.

Yes bold statements indeed.... time will tell! Try it and see what you think. The bar selectors other websites do have but the sprocket one that also lists rims and bearings is pretty unique and there is also selectors specifically for carving....

Thanks - Yes Husky later as I can't afford the additional stock at the mo....in fact I can't afford alot of anything at the mo! I'm not sure whether to stock Husky bars so will prob be Oregon and cannon only to start with. But will stock all the oregon and stihl chains that fit Huskys.

Looks a nice straight piece. Shame the sap ring is so large though.... still worth doing something with mind you.

Just like to introduce my new website. It's been 18 months in the concept and making. The idea behind it is to have the most advanced selector services and the widest range of bars and chains. As well as being a full e commerce site it also has a load of videos and information. Some of it will be teaching grannie to suck eggs but some I hope should be useful. There are tables to ID what chain you're running Chain ID table PDFs of the different chain types and what they look like in the flesh http://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/media/documents/chain-info.pdf You can make up custom loops Custom chain loops Every single sprocket, bar and chain have been taken in high res i.e. when you go to buy a sprocket not just a pic of any old sprocket but a close up of what the actual one is. In stock I have 97% of everything that's on the website. All the chainsawmills are on there. Certified chainsaw users can have their account unlocked to purchase Stihl accessories. Initially the selector services only work for Stihl but Husky will be added next.

Hmm looks very dangerous and must be taken down immediately....

Nice Josh looked good fun

I'm loving the books - fantastic !

This is a great little saw!!!!!!!!!!!!! Far superior to the MS170 and all the domestic rubbish they make why are they discontinuing? I do hope not the obvious answer that they're not making enough out of them :sneaky2::sneaky2:

Doesn't surprise me - the one in the new forest I used to be a member of the spa.... I knew the bloke who did all the landscaping of the grounds. In the end he got paid 2 days before the court date.... When things broke in the spa used to take up to 2 months to get fixed. The guy who manages the hotels flys around each one in a helicopter..... and has a reputation for never ever paying people.....

Very nice indeed... Wasn't sure initially if the turquoise colour quite goes with the wood but looking again it's already grown on me!

Dunno but it looks pretty cool!

I have the Stihl 192 - a cracking little saw and far far superior to the MS170, MS180 and MS211 and all the rest of those domesticy type saws.

Finished with a polyurethene varnish for hardwearing and easy cleaning. Shouldn't be any movement was in the polytunnel for 3 years and stayed pretty straight even though had not been stickered!

Have been wanting to make a bar top since starting milling as a good sized plank is easy to cut and no joinery involved. Started to use hard dead branchwood more as you can sand it and use it immediately without having to peel bark off etc. These ones are oak.
