  1. saw is sold. thank you pete ;-)
  2. bump... with the for sale section now gone, I don't know if this is allowed here anymore, if not, a moderator can delete it. stihl chainsaw ms880 | eBay
  3. I have an ms880 for sale that I am putting on ebay tonight. comes with a 36" bar, and a new granberg milling chain. also has a new unused HD2 filter. selling seperately a new 48" stihl bar, and a 48" alaskan mill.
  4. simple fact is mate, ever since another criticised bodges work, and I tried to expound on that in case he was made to feel bad, it had the opposite effect, and ever since he has been behaving like a little bitch with a skinned knee towards me. and im a bit tired of it. ages ago, i mentioned this forum to a timber merchant, and he threw his head back and laughed. im starting to understand why. i dont come to make enemies, but if a man cant give a solid opinion, without it turning into playground antics, which is always does - he's gonna make them sometimes. And I can live with that. and on that note. continue squabbling amongst yourselves. Im gonna chat to the wife, who ive not had an argument with in the 12 years we've been married. and tomorrow, a good hearty laugh with that timber merchant.
  5. shall I? naa.. choosing between cascamite or PU right now, is far more important than sewing circle politics & allegiances (cluck cluck cluck)
  6. You know mr, there is a very fine line with things for me. Its just not what I would personally do. I know this forester, he lives for razing woods to the ground. when he is not at work, all he is interested in doing is killing things. if there was a 1500yr old yew in the way of where he wanted to put a chicken shed, it would come down. the other camp - those silly hippies who live in trees and say they should never be touched, protesting about roads being built - but they'd be the first to whine when their tofu didnt arrive in the supermarket. I sit mid-way. i take a practical approach to life. I dont see the point in doing damage when I dont have to. call me phlegmatic. the other side of the coin i guess, is a "specialist" will always find a way to justify his actions. Well im not one of those either, im happy in my ignorance and not carving live
  7. he knew the camera was on him too.. quality pilot none the less.
  8. do you fly? sorry to go off topic, here's a bit of footage from yesterday (iphone when not in the air), and a totally masterful bit of handling from someone at the end... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIRhDUmVH18]queens jubilee? no thanks.. - YouTube[/ame]
  9. make it look as good as that, and i'll tip my hat to you. game on?
  10. aye, gets a little like a sewing club sometimes, but thats the british way (fortunately im irish). constructive criticism is a tuff one, its hard to say what you feel, people often take it wrong and sensibilities are often fragile - you could be giving a view on how you see it, and they'll take it as a personal slight. Most here aren't professional / trained, myself included (crap climber to house renovator), we're just doing our thing. I think be proud of your work and not be precious about it, the next thing you build will probably be better anyway..
  11. didnt read the post properly.. parana pine is a 2nd longshot
  12. attempt? that is super nice mate.. long shot, zebrano?
  13. your call. ive said all i wanna say on the matter.. nice pants
  14. carbon footprints? i hold my hands up,, 840bhp supercharged Holden VXR8. I never said I was an angel... what flying? para...
  15. I dunno about yogurt weaving hippies and happy endings (although, bit of a nasty insult to suggest a man might be a veggi) but nothing beats a happy ending like watching a man come plummeting out of the sky today into a hawthorn thicket... took us 30 minutes to untangle him. best laugh i've had in, forever,
  16. thank you, sir, I will do.. although, it's a bit windy here, might need those spare pants! enjoy your day and dont wear your wrist out! (i mean, flag waving for old queenie)
  17. grab a coffee set aside a long time, go and read it, as if you didnt write anything from either of us. now lets end this. can we kiss and make up? hopefully you have a beard, i hate shaved faces. look, im late, time to soar with the birds...
  18. if you were honest with yourself, which you know youre not because you cant lose face, you wouldn't carry on with this. youve been as rude as I have, although, I havent tried to patronise you. fortunately, the wind is dropping, (although not coming from your direction), I'm going flying ! laters.
  19. and you can come off that moral soapbox sunshine. If you hadn't started with the thinly veiled digs, you wouldn't have got an onslaught from me. sweep before your own steps, pal. listen to your argument, now you want to drag it in a different direction. just can it. go twist words with your wife
  20. and yeah, great tree! I don't know what you see, but i see a woman unfolding, stretching up. A tight torso, and the definition of her back... ok, she's a little flat chested, and her bony ass needs some work, but you cant have everything you couldnt make her any better by carving
  21. Roni, I'm not your conscience, you'll do what you will. But why cause something damage, forcing it to heal, when there is no necessity? It stops becoming art then. Why do we as a species do this to everything we interact with?
  22. why do you wanna keep arguing, are you a woman? the point is, the veg or animals you or I kill (or negate our responsibility and let another do it for us) are done as survival, not as amusement, or childish territorial squirting under the banner of art. I'm done arguing with you. You go carve some trees, do as you please.. im gonna go pack my gear for tomorrow, so I can float around the sky like a jellyfish with some mates, and the birds, marvelling at this glorious place from wherever the thermals wanna take us. Yowza.
