I am going to get a transit or similar sized pannel van for work and want to set up the back with shelving for saws, climbing kit etc. so that everything is held in its place and is organised. Has anyone done similar? would you have any photos? I have looked at the various pre-fab shelves and not seen anything that appeals......yet.

Thanks Chaps, mister solutions ltd. seems to have said part. Pats on backs and beer on me if you find yourselves in Normandy.

I have had an oil leak on my 192t and today it just got silly. oil all over the muffler, PIA. I have stripped it all back and found the fault, a split in the part that goes from the oil pump to the bar. I have been trying to find a replacement with no joy. can anyone help? either with a part number, a site with one on, or even a spare one you would be willing to sell? Its made of rubber, T shape, and black. Please help!

Put twin dawgs on it, it will help make the saw look cooler! I did it to my ms390.

I would say very deliberate. My big tip off was the winch on the front being set up by student types, why else do it in reverse with the crane to the rear? why risk dragging the front end through the ruts? staged.

I think it looks like a very good fake. The eagle is pin sharp on the panning shot, and well centered which when you consider the quality of the rest of the video, makes me think fake. Also something with the shadows looks off. I could be wrong, and if so, its a fantastic bit of filming.

Its the heated handle and low vibes that attract me, I would get the 460 in a heartbeat, but tingle fingers caused me to think about the 441. I dont want autotune, there are no reliable workshops in this area that would understand computermijiggers!

Evening all, After deliberating about a 460 or a 441vm (heated handles) and pondering my way around the low vibes and heated handle of the 441 vs. balls of the 460, I found myself looking at the 461 v on us stihl.com and think this could be the answer. Can anyone tell me if its available in the uk yet, and anyone used one? StihlUS do it with upto a 32" bar which seems big, but i figure it should pull a 25" as well as the old 460, and possibly an occasional 30" if needed.

The trees that were cut down were monterey cypress , what better to replace them with than,........................................................monterey cypress!

I would agree, I have a ms390, 16" bar. has cut hundreds (400+) of m3 over the last 5 years. only plugs, a filter, and a muffler in parts. I got the double dawgs for it and it makes a difference imo.

Im not familiar with the Landcruiser in pickup form, is it available in the uk, and what sort of money?
-
Both the 346 xp and ms 260 are great saws, it will be down to personal preference to choose between the 2. Me personally, I would go for a 346xpg on a 13" a fine, well made saw, and once spud has done the biz on it, unstoppable!

Pale, fibrous bark, rings look like willow to me. get rid!

For the most part we have plantation grown trees, that are straight and knot free. These make for hassle free billets. If growing your own, it pays to put in some time on management. When working on timber of a lower grade, I spend an extra few seconds cutting either side of bigger knots, and these off-cuts go in my Rayburn pile. A little bonus for me, and i dont worry if i have to spend a few swings of the maul as its free heat for me!! I also plunge cut with the grain through any knots that are unavoidable and would otherwise slow the splitting. Hope this helps.

Wow, its all billets here! I shifted 150m last year, split and cut by hand (chainsaw and maul) a few wedges help, but I prefer to use the shards of wood that splinter off. if you have to cut them free with the saw when you meet a big knot then the chain has no risk of snagging. I have split 2 meter billets to speed their seasoning with the maul, beech while green, no probs! We get 50 euros a 0.7m3 delivered & stacked, cant waste effort double handleing, all hardwood, no time to handle onto saw horse, pick up off deck, place on chopping block or splitter, load into crates, move crates to storage area, unload into truck, unload, stack in customers wood shed etc.

Will eating squirrels make me a better climber ?

Rabbits with long tails and short ears! apart from the high risk of rabies they are ok to eat! -
Good job getting her safely down. I hate finishing other peoples work like this, you feel nervous just walking up on a pre-cut tree. I like how your hinge was caught on the gob and back cut, was that the dawgs catching a buttress? not a criticism in any way, just curious. Well done!

I think it looks very nice, perhaps some more text on the coppice page where you have all the photos of stacked wood?

Rich, you must cheer up or leave this thread, you are ruining our christmas spirit! Only nice things guys and girls, think of the reason for this festive time, the birth of Santa, and how greatful we are to him that he brings prezzies to all the rich kids, so that we poorer kids may play with them once they have gone visiting Grandma, and not secured their doors or windows properly! Get in the spirit god damn it! -
I started reading this thread backwards, and thought, well £200 for a climbing lid, not to bad I suppose, all those times my ear defenders get snagged on branches and phonelines, it may prove a good investment.......... and then i got to the bit about it being a ground lid only! No sale here. Interested to know what the climbing lid will cost?£££££££?
