  9. Today has turned out rather well Spent this morning in our woods messing about a little and putting up an owl box. On the way back our next door farmer stopped me for a chat, hes currently selling off his farm because he kids dont want it . He saw the saw in the front basket on the quad and started talking about how he used to do a bit, he said he had all this old kit in one of his barns and I could help myself if I wanted any because he didnt need it anymore! So I came home with a Stihl Class 1 Jacket that hasnt seen much use, a McCulloch top handle saw (little 14" bar, doesnt work ,yet), 2 Silky Saws and 4 axes! I took him over a case of stout after lunch, and he said that if Im quick I can help myself to any dead standers in his wood for the fire! Happy Sam

  11. Me in 1997 I think Interestingly the saw is a Jonsered Something or other. It had a bag that you would put into the notch (I think... I was 4) and it inflated off the saw engine, as it inflated it felled the tree. If anyone knows anything more about I would be very interested, I dont think it caught on though! Sam
