Also you don't have to bend down/stand up so less strain on operator and back.

Buttock clenching tree and small drop zone! Good work

I'm not even 10 stone and I can wield the 390 with a 28" bar on it! Had one for 9 months. First Husky saw I've ever bought and it's a good un. Air filter is ab superb - no fine dust in the inlet of the carb unlike some others, spark plug easy to get at, drives the 28" bar fine. Hopefully it'll last a good while.

Impressed!

I know that's the trouble if you're a full time tree surgeon you either haven't got the time to work your timber or you're just too knackered!!

Cheers! I put a thread up about this here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/alaskan-mill/29088-clear-exterior-oil-varnish-lasts.html about this. I've never tried lacquers are they complicated to apply? And are they good for outside? Le tonkinois is what I'm using at the mo. You have to have at least 4 coats though. It'll go shiny but the last coat you can mix with this gelomat and this can finish it matt or satin. I'm going to be selling it soon but in the meantime go here to buy some Le Tonkinois natural oil varnish and Flexidisc sander I'd advise getting 5 litres and a pot of gelomatt. Your elboes will know about it after sanding that bench!

All the pro bars Cannon, Stihl ES and Oregon Powermatch bars do well... Cannon have the higher price tag though I'm still undecided if they are worth the extra money. GB bars (the pro solid ones) are very good as well but virtually impossible to get hold of....

Incredible! How very thoughtful of him and apparently logs go for good money these days.....!
-
I think it's a magic idea. I wrecked my elboes using a pole saws and this would have been a god send.... don't use things like this anymore but I like the idea. Ok it's quite expensive but if you could do an additional £30 of work in a day using this type of long reach gear due to less fatugie you've paid for it in 2 months easy. A good investment.
-
Good vid Josh - and particularly liked the way you could send a few down at a time.... very efficient
-
Yes they've come out fine..... good size planks with that saw.
-
I'd put it down more to Stihl's (often) strange marketing procedures.
-
I reckon that's pretty good but there's a lot more scope out there to improve on the idea.... .... but it's making the holes (quickly) I'm after...
-
I'm using a still fresh bit of timber. Want to drill the holes now. Then let dry a couple of months. I've got some prime bits of wood that will look good! Ref drying wood and when to varnish.... hmmm tricky to answer that as it's a piece of string type question....
-
How did this happen? prize for the nearest theory!

I was just going to say exactly that but was waiting for 10 mins to midnight for maximum effect! -
Will post some pics when I use it
-
The drill bit to drill a massive hole are these forstner drill bits eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace but you need something with very slow speed and huge torque!
-
Looks good and I've just got some brass powder to mix in with some resin! Looks good on your table.
-
Talking big and tough on forums like this makes you appear to be anything but. I can see this would be really handy for tip tying branches. Good demonstration of the tool. Easy to use and telescopes away there'll be a good market for it. Stein do seem to be one of the most innovative companies out there and will put their money where their mouth is as far as new products go. . Good luck to them!
-
There's plenty of 3/8 .058 chain in both Stihl and Oregon as the mid size Huskys use it. .404 pretty much comes as standard .063 3/8 .050 (not lo pro) is again done by Stihl and Oregon but most saw set ups don't seem to run it....
-
Did you ever find a way of doing these holes Mark? I bought a big dewalt forstner drill bit off ebay but none of my drills will come close to turning it! (I got the 96mm one). Bosch do this one GBM 32-4 Professional - Rotary Drill - Bosch Power Tools for Professionals which looks good.... but are there any other alternatives?
-
Saw that ont telly.... amazing stuff!
-
Nice work.... hope you have someone there to help you to turn it over onto it's legs!
-
Like it. As you say downside is having to take the end clamp off to get the Alaskan in...... But like the way you change the height with the 4x2s
-
Yep! I am when it comes to timber that hasn't been milled yet. If it was burry would be a different story but it would only be worth £3 a cube to me.
