Have a look at this guy milling with a Stihl 090 with no milling attachment and no PPE - barefoot milling. I have deep respect for his technique! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02QWRo1W4II]MY LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES VOL.14 LUMBER CUT BY CHAIN SAW - YouTube[/ame]

Emmission reduction requirements in US and Europe. And you get twisty-caps thrown in for "free"

STIHL MS150 TC-E Top Handle Chainsaw Now Available from Honey Brothers
morten replied to Honey Bros's topic in General chat
Nope, it's a different beast altogether, have a look at Stihl Germany's website that carries both saws (MS150T, MS192T): STIHL Motorsäge Smaller engine (23.6cm³/1.0kW vs. 30.1cm³/1,3kW). Lighter (2.6kg vs 3.1kg) -
You can't expect anyone to provide any sensible feedback on that figure without breaking the £336 down into individual components (maintenance/repairs, fuel, small purchases, insurance, ...). But maybe that would be too revealing for your comfort

Don't trust the PayPal guarantee. I've been had too, previously. Purchased a green laser pointer. Promised shipment (from HK/China) within two weeks. After three weeks, I started asking for proof of shipment. I received all sorts of excuses, promises etc, until suddenly, one day, I had no reply to my emails. Asked e-bay for a refund, quoting the PayPal buyer protection, but was told that it was too late! Complained, but was stonewalled by e-bay this time. No winning that one. They didn't even want to block the seller! Needless to say, never heard anything more from the seller.

You don't write whether you've been running the saw previously without trouble, but it could be a badly worn nose sprocket, or a sprocket/nose-sprocket that does not match the chain pitch (3/8", .325), causing the chain drive links to "ride high" on the sprocket at times. Also: Have you tried running with a new (or different) chain? Same issue? This way, you can rule out/in the chain as being the cause of the trouble. A badly stretched chain (possibly due to being run without oil) will effectively make it not match the sprocket pitch.

Anyone like the new Stihl oil & petrol tank caps?
morten replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in Chainsaws
Here is a link to the thread from 2010 that discussed this subject at length http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/13520-new-type-stihl-oil-caps-2.html#post262287 The thread post referred in the link contains an answer I had from Stihl HQ in which they recognise that the oil caps DO exhibit problems, and suggest some ways of reducing the risks. -

60%+ alcohol content would be my recommendation. You might try an alcohol-based antiseptic gel as well. They come with a handy pump-bottle such as Spirigel Alcohol Hand Gel - Spirigel Complete By the way - I do believe ethanol is as good as isopropyl alcohol. You might even use Vodka, Rum or Whiskey! Gives you an excuse to have a bottle lying around in your car and workshop
-
I do believe you are right about the GoPro being a better camera (image quality). The Drift wins on form-factor, though.
-
12"?!? - no comprendo señor The MS 362 will pull a 24/25" bar. But it will struggle if you bury it in oak! An MS 441 or 660 would be happier (and faster). Ripping chain is an advantage, but not strictly required for milling. A sharp chain is required, though!
-
You should give Pixlr a try, too It is on-line, which means you don't have to install anything. It is easy to use and has many common image manipulation features

I have been using GIMP for years. It is NOT a beginners software, but neither is Photoshop. At one time I needed to do image masking using Gimp (masking out the background), so I made a Google search using the terms "gimp mask". Needless to say, I had some quite surprising results
-
I agree that you could possibly get on with a 70cc saw, such as Stihl MS 362. But you will not be able to cut 18" width using a 20" bar. You loose approx 6" of bar length when clamping the bar to the mill (Alaskan), as you don't want to clamp on the nose wheel.

Saw: 90 cc displacement: Stihl MS 660 or Husqvarna 395 (whichever you are used to, and service/parts availability) Bar: 24"/25" Mill: Alaskan Mill Mrk III with 24" rails
-
If it is an optional extra, it is not built in It makes the GoPro even more bulky. Another Drift innovation helmet cam advantage is the wrist-band remote control that is included.
-
Use isopropyl alcohol for dissolving sap on skin, clothing, rope and gear. Put it in a small spray bottle and have that lying around in your car. It's safe for both skin and climbing gear, and quite effective.
-
I would also consider the Drift Innovation helmet cameras. They have a few advantages: Built-in colour monitor that allows you to review the video Mounted flat on your helmet - less tendency to catch on branches and ropes Easily mounted on top or side of helmet using velcro (lens can be rotated) Full HD Time lapse video - allows you to mount the camera on a tri-pod and record a days work and replay in minutes.

This guy is using a chainsaw on a horse, and is wearing a HAT. Is that recommended? I think I would be more concerned about kickback from the horse than from the saw! :lol:
-
For rigging purposes, the "bowline on a bight" should also be included. It would also be a good idea to show how to prevent a bowline from jamming under heavy loads by putting a carabiner between the standing part and the loop, se images: Bowline with carabiner: Bowline on a bight with carabiner:
