I really like it- it is simple, easy on the eye, not cluttered up with loads of irrelevant crud that few will read, and gets all the right pints across i think. Well done, i hope it brings you a load of work. No doubt a certain member will have different ideas though:sneaky2: -
I bet the bottom of the scabbard is clogged with sawdust Ady. And you must be about the only person in the world not to like the sawpod LOL.!!

You have hit the nail on the head really, which was sort of what i was driving at with my post. My chain came off soon after i bought my mill- I had no experience then of how to tension a 48" bar......like you say, bad usage/ maintenance etc, and in that case I was in no danger whatsoever. I think that the arrangement of the clamp on the bar at the powerhead end would catch a chain in the unlikely event of it throwing back far sooner than it got anywhere near your left hand, which on an 088 set up would be something like 18" out from the log/ base of the bar. I have come across no specific HSE legislation regarding this, but TBH it strikes me as safer than normal saw use. The most dangerous scenario as i see it could be if you stumbled just as you drew the saw out of the end of the cut and caught yourself on it for example...?
-
That is good advice with the straps, but TBH if the end use is exterior furniture, then the wood can be used in its green state, and will not require storage as such. Furthermore with that thickness of timber movement is going to be minimal in that application. edit- nice planks BTW!
-
There is alot more vibe from the mill than when crosscutting in my experience, so maybe gloves would be a consideration? I have often milled without ballisitics, and the chain did come off once, but just dies in the kerf. I tend to be wearing them anyway though usually.

This is the case I believe David. Wiiiam Lucombe was a vicar i Believe, and kept the boards under his bed for years and years till it was time.....as 't'were:001_smile: Phear Park is the place to see them.

Horriffic. He was obviously a very troubled and unhappy soul. My deepest sympathy to anyone affected by this awful chain of events.

Its deffo a mimosa i reckon- I had one of these to get rid of for a gardener, and couldnt get there for a couple of months, by which time the very dead looking thing had started to come good. Wait and see i reckon.

If you convert veg oil to diesel then npo problem. If you want to chuck a load of veg oil in with your diesel then it will vary on the type of oil to the type of vehicle to the age of the vehicle and the cleanliness of the oil etc etc, £2k for a small conversion plant and you will soon make your money back ifyou drive a 4x4 or van etc, even with duty paid, and you wont have many, if any, probs.

There have been endless rows here on arbtalk about trustmark, some of which have ended up being deleted i believe. Use the search facility at the top and you may well find.......

Christ b101uk, that was amazing. Thanks!!

Possibly. All i can say is that when he wellies it or blips the throttle alot of diesel goes through and alot doesnt get burnt. It would probably look blacker if you were standing there, but the quality of the film shows it looking lighter. If you welly ant diesel, esp a turbo'd one, you get unburnt fuel out.

Unburnt diesel.
