So, how do you clamp it?

Oh no, had hoped to avoid sharing pics but here goes, not finished and probably won't be Think I have uploaded pics

I was trying to carve a fox, ambitious perhaps but in at the deep end. Used by beautiful 268xp (Yes I'm long in the tooth) to cut to rough shape and then MS200T for detail
-
Oh dear, tried my hand at carving today, far from an unmitigated attempt, so have a few questions of those with more expertise in the matter 1, When carving a block, not a stump, do you use something to hold the block down 2. Would it be better to use something to hold the block that swivelled to address block from different angles 3. Do you always use the chainsaw in a 'proper' manner or do you use it like a rasp, moving it sideways across the surface?

Yer, that's the way of it, tools that go walkabout

Ratchet straps? What's wrong with dolly knots?

Any and every saw that won't start. And any stihl fitted with them fool new petrol caps

Yes, imagine though if the owner had acted on the advise of a TP officer who advised he make a formal application but the tree fell before the application could be made. Then it could be argued that the owner had acted on advice of the TP officer and thus the office was liable. That the owner in this case didn't choose to act on that advice would make the owner liable BUT if the tree fell before a formal application could reasonably be expected to have been processed, then surely the owner could claim that had he acted on the advice of the TP officer then he would be in the same predicament and that the TP officer should have allowed immediate removal
-
Sounds like an overwhelming thumbs down then
-
If the tree fell before a formal application could reasonable be regarded to have completed then I believe the TP officer is liable, if not the householder

Interested to hear what people think of Husky's Trio-brake system?
-
On the injection pump there may be an excess fuel lever which you need to rotate clockwise and push forward, makes starting a whole bunch easier!
-
Not really a good idea, thinks I because of the weight of the axe would make it less wieldy
-
Thanks, knew nothing about electric saws
-
Anyone carved with an electric saw? Are they up to it? Can they take a dime bar?
-

What about laurel, makes great mallets -
A cord as a measure of stacked wood is common in USA but as its first recorded use is 1610 it probably originated in UK
-
No but got a fairly large Maffel
-
Minimum 3" anywhere up to potential 12" for through tenon

Thanks, know nothing about mills
-
Yep ot a big plunge circular saw but you can never have too many tools
-
A house
-
Intend to finish with framing chisels and slick but unfortunately the last requirement you cite I lack
-
I am wondering why 181 not 180 and should the chain be ground to a different angle?
-
I'm not surprised, I have a 61 (not practica or rancher) and a 268xp, rare though the xp version is (Is it more common stateside?) and I am impressed every time I use it. Revs so freely and always has more power than I expect, even pulling a 24" bar. The 61 is a good saw but pick up is slow and power not a patch on 268xp, in my humble opinion
