i have never found a good pair with protection, they always go to muish, i bought a pair for a new start and they lasted 2 days, the stitching went on them. get some cheap lined rubber ones, and always make sure your chain break works and the chain catcher is ok. if you are taking a hand off the saw make sure its your right one. imo:001_smile:

give the forearms a good workout then:001_smile:

thats what i think, pain in the arse while climbing, i have a pair of the timberland anti vibration ones for hedge cutting. they are excellent. dont try picking things up with them though because your fingers can hardly move. a pair of rubber gloves for those crappy snowy days to start off with till the chillblains burn through and leave you with indestructible red fingies:ohmy:

hi guys, we have just had the all clear that our chimney is ok for a logburner, i have a squirrel that i bought 7 years ago, i burnt the insides out it with anthrosite, so i need pretty much all new internals. any recomendations on where to get spares and how do you get them apart. its a solid little sucker:001_smile: we are only using it as a hot box so there isnt any waterjacket on it.

i did some last year, it was about 90 feet straight as a dye and about 30 inches across the base without many branches, you could split it with an axe. and pine burns great. its all down to moisture. i did them this time last year and it was pretty dry looking:001_smile:

i have bought about 5 cd s in my life, have never listened to music unless its the radio in a vehicle, even then i turn it down so i can hear the engine. thomas the tank engine has found its way back onto the telly but i will get the calm tunes back on when the wee men go to bed.

good stuff mate, keep us posted on how it works with rigly hardwood. we were playing at firewood today, stolking up for next year. just my old man with his 27yr old log splitter. i think it is his fault there is a hole in the ozone.
