  3. hi after some 8ft lengths of timber for chainsaw carving, larch, western red, or at a push spruce,,,,cedar would be great,,,about 12-16" diameter, 10 ton, or less,,,,,reading ,berkshire area,,,, big ask but worth ago,,,,

  5. My advice would to go on a one day course near you,,they will teach you the basics,,what tools you really need,,,,,not all the fancy ones they`d like you to have,,,,,,then you can get some direction on what you actually want to achieve,,,,bowls are very hard to master, but basic ones arnt,,,in between centres is easiest for a beginner,,,, Look up your local club,,there a great help,,and will give you endless free advice,,,and usually have get togethers,,,,,,, you can turn green wood,,especially to practice on,,and its very forgiving,in time you will learn lots,,,,,grab yourself a book like carlos said,,,,try e-bay,,theres loads on there,,, Good luck,,,,,its adictive

  14. thats a tricky question,,,,,,i honestly think they dont make a long lasting pair of chainsaw pants for a reason,,,,,,,they wouldnt sell as many,,,,,lets be honest,,,if they last a yr your lucky,,,chainsaw always melts em,,,,somewhere,,,,,,you get that anoying hole where it fills your chainsaw boots up..and the mrs kills you,,,for sprerading the days work across the floor,,,,....they dont make long lasting chainsaw trousers for the same reason ford dont make rot resistant cars,,,,,,,,they`d be stuffed,,,,,,
