  1. Hi, what saw would you recommend for roughing out a tenons, etc in 8" in 8" green oak? Is it a matter of selecting type or width of chain? Should add, I am thinking something light as a lot to do
  2. How fast do you want the saw to cut, with a skip chain you could run a longer bar, if you can fit it.
  3. Why, we are ripping decking out for people, as they realise it is not a good idea?
  4. I shape with a draw knife
  5. It's probably been said before but I would consider your quote and offer of contract and there acceptance of your quote, acceptance of that offer of contract. This entitles you to a sum of money in payment for what you have lost by the loss of that contract. Not the full amount of the quote but what the job would have made you plus a consideration for any expenses involved in claiming that sum from them. It is important to note that if they send you a cheque in payment that is for a lesser amount, write to them stating that you accept the cheque in part payment only. Otherwise they may argue that in accepting the lesser amount you accept that that settled the matter
  6. I usually find customers need to be told what they want
  7. 1. What time to the normally go to bed 2. What time do the get up 3. What do the have for breakfast 4. How much do the drink Doesn't matter; they will lie
  8. That's the way I do it plus capping rail
  9. Yep, less resistance, less wear
  10. Well not better overall, the width lends them a disadvantage in that it allows less room to knock in wedges and more surface to pinch but it does mean the chain can be run looser without fear of it jumping off, due to the slight continuous curve of the bar
  11. I don't see why, don't know about that particular saw but on 110s which look very similar blade was symmetrical and could be turned
  12. Parts will most likely be hard to find, what are you intending to do with it?
  13. Danarm 1-71 and features anti-vib, great saws
  14. Thanks but too old, interesting to note though that from an engineering perspective the shape of the cutter bar on those old saws is better than modern bar design
  15. I have seen the same in Kenya, at a camp site Lake Narvasha, heated showers for the whole camp
  16. Anyone remember using these great old saws Danarm 1-73 and 1-93, used to own both and wish I still did. Only fault was lack of chain brake
  17. If James doesn't want them all may be in the market for same later in year
  18. Ok, so proceed as follows 1. Download gmail for ipad 2. Set up your email in gmail by configuring the pop and smtp settings 3. Add stationary for gmail 4 Configure your stationary with your logo Now as ipad, iphones, isaws, etc are the work of the devil, you may do better to junk said item and get a proper android pad!
  19. What email program are you using?
  20. An axe is a better tool for splitting than a maul in most cases. An axe should be curved in 3 planes, both to aid penetration and prevent sticking, like classic British Elwell. Shape of the handle is as important as the material from which it is constructed and if you want to use it all day it should be thin. Hickory may be better on paper but I have not noticed a difference in practice, certainly not several times better as some sites would have you believe.
