    Cheers guys - lots to think about. Sti[h]l[l] pondering (sorry)

    What about maring standards to keep when coppicing? I haven't found an alternative to paint (tape gets torn down), but I don't like leaving all my nice standards with fluo green or pink dots on! Any ideas Chris.

    I've read the first 100 or so pages now and I'm very impressed with it as a comprehensive 'basic' guide. Well laid out - one thing that irritates me in books and magazines is 'boxes' where you have to break off from the text to read the 'more detail' in the boxes. In this book they're all in the right place so far. Plenty of useful references at the ends of the chapters if you want more too. Chris.

    Thanks all. I'd heard that on the MS192 you had to change the sprocket because the carving bar had a different fitting and that this made it a bit of a faff. Anybody know? I'll have a look at the 171 & 181 - both look good from a budget point of view! Cheers again, Chris

    I'm thinking of buying a saw for the garden with a view to doing some carving at some point in the future. Budget won't stretch to 2 saws so I'm looking at a saw with interchangeable bars. My local stockist reckons the Stihl choice is between an MS192 C-E and MS230. Ups and downs being about £90 diff. but changing the bar is easier on the 230. Any thoughts? Is there a Husky option (I use a 357xp at work so I'm not familiar with Stihls although I trained on them)? Cheers, Chris
