Yeh, but that was an easy error to make, the second groundy who mounted the bollard was not at fault, just Felix stood still for a moment too long next to the tree!

The chain on the 201 is far too tight to let it work, you have an issue there for sure, But the motor does sound off. These saws can & do run ok, they are tied down by the emission laws from the factory, no big deal to sort them out. That saw has such a tight chain, ( or a serious hot bar from oiling failure), that it can't get it's knickers down to

Great news, in the context of how it could have been, wishing your lady the very best in the future. My brother in law has had a recent & sudden decline in health, the outlook is dismal for him. Your good news has rather cheered me up, bless you & your family.

Sounds about right Mark.

Wishing you all the best with this, keep us posted, & if you need anything, I think I can say we will help.

I will provide a lid mate, will pick one up from Does monday, pm your address or you can pick it up.

If you get prolonged heavy rain your going to get floods, if it keeps raining the floods dont go away, low lying land with a history of flooding will suffer, simples. How people can blame the gov, is beyond me, but I suppose we do live in a 'blame culture', well, some do! I do feel sorry for the victims of this, but if you buy property on a flood plane, you really must expect it to live up to it's reputation.

Lovely looking wood there Silky, I would think you are the sort of bloke to end up with a little lathe, ( given the time to use it), you would love turning wood & have the creative mind to produce some interesting results. I have a small lathe, it will easily fit in any car boot, & can turn wood to about 6 inch diameter, & spindle work to 12 inch. look into it mate, It is so relaxing & rewarding to turn a bit of timber.

Most of the lads I work with would frighten them off!

That is/was good fuel, but your chancing your arm running that through a modern saw, might run fine, but if you persist with using old fuel, it will wreck your saws piston & pot. It's not worth the risk imo.

3 to 4 weeks & it will be on its way.

They did that to me...10 years of turmoil,, now I'm sorted & got my mind right I think it was good value for the money. Blessings from the church are what they are, me, I would feel a lot happier with a nice cheque!

They wont marry you or bury you for free, so charge normal rates, & dont forget to pass the collection box round half way through proceedings, for chipper maintenance.

Hi there Rik, I suffered for years with IBS & UC, I'm now fine, maybe once a year I get the first symptoms of UC, but can clear it up in a few days with diet & mind work, rarely needing a small dose of prednisolone for a few days, I was on the verge of loosing my bowels & hospitalised for weeks on end over a couple of years. It can get a lot better with the right treatment, & learning to eat right & think right. I too am up for a chat if you need it, I will pm you my phone details mate.

As he says, once seasoned it is a very nice stove wood, but it takes a bit of time to fully season.

& I thought we were mates... I think the op made a rash move with his post, he could have just stayed away, no humble pie to eat if he felt the need to return, smacks of other issues going on imo. If so I hope he's ok.

Is there any reason single cylinder engines arnt fitted on chippers?
geoff replied to Big T's topic in Large equipment
Most likely it wont have the torque needed to drive the chipper. -
That would involve you having a sex change mate... I would stick to the violin idea personally.....

Leave him the chance to come back if he is of value to the company, young lads often dart about a bit, & give him a call after a week for a chat, see how he is doing, & ask if he has any issues.

any one getting a new helmet soon or have a spare
geoff replied to philip2011's topic in General chat
One day you might need a little help yourself, I hope you get a more understanding than you are showing here, it is in the spirit of Arbtalk to help people out a bit. -
Nice work, I keep meaning to get a mill, this years 'must do' !

They have balls, but didn't we all when young, the lad is a selfish spoilt workshy waster. If those lads fall, they hurt more than just themselves, often they are above public areas, aside from which they have family, & some poor sod has to clear up the mess they will make.
