  1. Like the bench and the house! Log bench looks very natural but quite tricky to make.
  2. Have now finally got some full skip chisel chain in - shame oregon do not supply into the UK market but there you go... sourced from the US and a bit of a pain and long wait to get it hence price is not cheap. It is not in the selector area you can find it here in the custom chain selector Custom chain loops Full skip chain is best on bars 24"+ where the extra drive link between cutters helps carry woodchip more efficiently and keeps chain speed up. Also less teeth to sharpen Not used it myself yet... I will get a larger range of this in ie. 3/8 .058 and .404 .063 if there is demand... the .404 skip chain seems a lot more expensive than the 3/8.
  3. They work fine - you can return them if they don't!
  4. Liked the camera angle and speed lining technique Rich

    <p>Hi Sam - yes I have the Sugi bars 18" but only in the pro solid version with replaceable nose £55+vat, Husky 3/8 drive sprocket £30+vat and chains depends on what you have,</p>

  6. Some nice black line spalting - people seem to prefer this to the flame type spalting.
  7. Tend to always quarter saw these days - big boards are a lot of hassal to move, stick and dry. Tensions build up and cause more drying defects. And often you end up having to rip them into smaller boards anyway. A planer thicknesser is the best way to get a rough board smooth. But usually these are max 24" although they do go much bigger this is usually the largest you'll find locally.
  8. Yes and a real pro looking to get straight in there with a bore cut!
  9. I played COD Black Ops zombies for a year and a half - only game I liked really... not so keen on the newer ones...
  10. Great to see all that timber being used
  11. Thanks Jim
  12. Hi Jim - I have updated the website to show the bars for the MS192 C-E. Actually pretty much all the small saws take the same bars or at least have the same bar mount. I have started trying to group together saws to make it easier to see which bars are interchangeable between saws. So if you looked at all the Stihl saws as Group 1 these ones are all interchangeable. MS211, MS210, MS201, MS201T, MS200T, MS200, MS230, MS231, MS192C-E, MS192T, MS191T, MS190T, MS181, MS180, MS171, MS170, 021, 020T, 020, 019T, 019, 018, 017, 012, 011, 010, 009 (025, MS250, MS251 – drive sprocket
  13. Like it!
  14. Ha ha! Great vid! :biggrin:
  15. I like it Ian - I prefer this one to the first - it sort of goes together better IMO
  16. I will be selling Echo soon - but the saws to me seem well made and solid - they are more from the old school where realiability and durability are the most important factors.
  17. <p>I would try without first Pat - I find that good maintenace and sharp chains mean the existing oiler works fine unless you are doing loads and loads of big stuff.</p>

  18. It is.... in a perfect world!
  19. Good work! Reminds me I have stuff to stick - funny how you can put in all the effort to mill stuff but not get round to stacking it!
  20. Nice work!
  21. Welcome to the forum
  22. <p>Hi Gareth - we have just changed our line over and hence the phone has not been working... I think we have this sorted now anyway. Rob</p>

  23. :lol:
  24. Sometimes chisel chain can be overly aggressive - but this can depend on so many things ie. saw bar combo, wood you're cutting, size of wood you're cutting. Just give it a go at 30 degrees and see how you go - if it works as morten said work the angle down in increments to 10 degrees. If a lot of vibration then best to go to a micro chisel.
