    Thanks for the advice. Sorry to have bothered you skyhuck, it was for real, but thanks for making me feel stupid.

    Has anyone else found when cutting Ash that they get a big build up of green slime on the chain which seems to bake on when cutting? Done a lot of wet ash after the storm and my chains are hanging now. Scraped it off my 13" and it took a fair while, dreading doing the 28":sneaky2: Any ideas on an easy removal/fix?

    Grandad helped in bomb disposal during the blitz, assisting the officer with digging and passing tools, then came to France on D day plus 4, with a scotish reg. (odd as he was Cornish!) anti tank unit using a piat, shot by a sniper in Belgium in December '44 lost a finger and hit in the arse, long spell in a field hospital. My Gran worked in Munitions factory in Bridgend and then Coventry - bombed to hell, and lots of girls injured in accidents. They were brave. Great uncle was, I'm told, a sniper.

    Nearly brought one until I read in the small print that the paper is not included! Fair play to the guy, I doubt it will make him a millionaire, but if his claim is correct, and it will reduce fuel consumption by 1/3rd then the firewood dealers need to brace themselves for a dip in their orders!

    Is the competition open to those of us outside the UK?

    The "Blair Ditch Project" Love the kit on this thread guys, amazing what these machines can do. how do you guys find them for stability? my experience with mini diggers is that they kick and buck about and leave your stomach and lower back worse for wear after a day or two's use. Does the machine counterbalance the weight of the timber well?

Any feed back would be much appreciated.

    F-180 is a nice little cheap silky, I have had one for a couple of years and it is still great. There is a review on the reviews part of this site, for the money its one of the best bargains ever!

    All credit to this man, any bites?

    Its been said on here before, but "drying" your fishing lines with treble hooks around your chipper/shed is a fantastic place to dry them, dangling from the ceiling with the hooks between 2 and 6 feet from the ground in a poorly lit area will have great "drying" results.

    I have lost track of the number of customers that have said " I have a chainsaw in my shed, could you show me how to sharpen it?" never been offered one to take away, even a b&q plastic fantastic Well done you, still got the plastic on the name plate............... Nice!

    I have a husky 345 which is a little belter, Ok its not a pro saw but it is very nice to use and with a short bar of 13" it is very well balanced, I got it about 8 years ago as a back up saw, and apart from a leak in the fuel line, its not let me down. I wouldn't want to sell it ever, as its just too useful, especially for a newcomer to gain experience with. The 545 is probably the newer incarnation of this saw, so should be a good bet.

    Is that a highland bear in your avatar? looks just like the one at Tregothnan estate in Cornwall.

    would the 395/3120 dawgs fit the 390xp????
  24. normandylumberjack
    The big softwood ones like what stubby has in his picture. If Husky make them I would buy them, the standard ones hardly stick out past the oil tank. Do the new flippy caps fit the 390? would be a good addition imo.
  25. normandylumberjack
    All the OM ones I have seen are short, like the ones on it. If you have a number for some long fangs for it I would be greatful
