is it ok to upgrade my MS260 sprocket size to 3/8?
stoxs replied to aleach1728's topic in General chat
looking at those videos of the performance i would sell the lot off and not both, the first video the saw is cutting through soft wood and is not quick as steve says. second video looks more impressive until you realise that the wood being cut is best part rotten by the looks of it. I would not use a saw all day that cut like that . I can see a saw being used like that being knackered in 6 months of day in day out use. -
Thank you all very good advice all taken on board. got some nice pices of sycamore in the shed and some ash so good starting wood.

Few pointers would be good in the best way to start out best wood to work with ? best way to dry it out? best object to make first? things not to do? best height of lathe ? size of timber to use width and length? got some dry Laburnum should be dry now! thanks in appreciation

Does my oak tree have a disease?
stoxs replied to K-AngeL's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
well spotted, massive bark change at one point, pollarded about 20-25 years ago? Bit of trimming up and a crown thin it would look o.k -
Not if you think you are Mary Poppins and can stand on fresh air!! Good luck in this debate jon lad
-
would this quote be the same if the tree was a willow? This in my eyes is a true pollard, the other attempts you see where the crown has been reduced by 99.9% in my eyes is butchery. In for a penny in for a pound i say. Good job wish i would be around in 30 years time to see the new crown in all it`s glory!

having used husky combi cans first then switchig to stihl clear cans i am converted, stihl cans are alot easyer to use being clear, the auto fillers work fine on both and i do like the auto oil filler on the stihl can also.

How would you dress for an interview for a job in arb?
stoxs replied to will.morris's topic in General chat
I have been to most of the interviews i have had with a collar and tie. no suit. seams to be a halfway point it shows you have made the effort but not OTT If 2 people come to me for an interview one had T-shirt and jeans the other a collar and tie i would be more impressed with the effort, i would think this person is concerned that he looks right and that is good for company image -
I know arboventure training near New Milton, hampshire do MEWP training NPTC Jo Hedger gets on here from time to time a PM should sort costs out. bit of a travel but might be viable.

if you got as wide a arse as i have then the weaver will pinch your hips tight and you can`t move you legs above the knees! not nice i found the the ekn kolibri by far the most comfy and still had use of my legs also worth a try is the Komet dragonfly, seated butterfly not to bad but a bit tight accross the bridge.
