thats a class piece of work. very nice
-
i use danish oil or linseed oil heated up and applied with a cloth to penetrate the wood. usually use several coats. depends what the customer requires really, some prefer a dull look to the finish and others like them more glossy looking. for the joints i usually let the legs into the base of the bench and then brace the joint. screwed down from the top with a plug of oak on top. makes a good solid joint. timber on the first bench pictured was seasoned the others are from greenish timber, standing deadwood. hope that helps

ray s replied to Andy Collins's topic in Maintenance help
just a thought but is the gasket between the carb and engine ok as it might be sucking too much air in to the engine . -

practice and more practice, you'll get them spot on in the end. have a look on the net and you'll find a couple of companies selling ripping chain at good prices, i've got a ms880 with 36" bar and i got 2 ripping chains for about £34. and they're genuine stihl. and as trollspiel says use a ladder for the first cut , makes it far more accurate

sorry to all who've asked questions that i haven't answered,i've only just looked back on this thread, better late than never:blushing: pm me if you are interested in anything , and i'll do my best to sort things out for you. "tc" with ref the seats and the angles i just go by sight, if it looks about the right length to give a comfortable seat height and back then go with it, if you start long you can always trim it down if you need to.

we get quite a few each year here in hampshire, working in hazel coppice woodland with a fair number of deer. i use the o tom tick remover and its a good bit of kit for the money. once removed remember to keep an eye on the bite area and if a rash develops, or you get the classic bulls eye ring around the bite get to the doctors and explain what happened. as i understand it if the tick is removed correctly within 24 hrs there is minimal chance of infection. dont cover or burn ticks as they can pass the infection on before they drop off.

while cutting high tensile wire a few years ago the tail end swung up and got me straight in my right eye. just remember everything going black and then blood on my hand. my vision returned in about a minute. eyeball went bright red and stayed that way for about 6 weeks till it faded ,scary time.
