Thanks for the reply, Rich. After, all sorts. It can depend. Some things I build stay outside, some in. I'm not just after the nice stuff like burr oak & black walnut - Ive about to make a table from a 5ft across Macracarpa. but, oak, spaulted woods, cherry, cedar & other softs, all sorts - it's more about what I have = what it gets used for. I've a kiln here. Some gets used green. Ive two great sources of wood (x boss and mates), where I can mill right next to where I park, but always on the lookout. And if it helps out some of the smaller getups to get it off site, and I get it cheaper - all the better. So if you have something you want off site....

Thank you, Jonesie, you'll be hearing from me.

Just buy the Alaskan. Brilliant.. stick it on your 880, chuck the lot on your shoulder and go walkabout. then get your mates to drag out your slabs with the forwarder

This is probably geared towards the smaller arb setups out there who dont have the means to get bigger stuff off site....... In my years in arb, i've rung-up, chipped, wasted some lovely timber. Now i've quit climbing, but I'm still making stuff, & me and my 880 are looking for timber to mill, buy or just get off site, in the Kent / Surrey area. This wood is for my own use, "TrollSpiel fine furniture". Dont ring it up! Call the Troll. Short notice ok. Keep my number. 07944 111 000.

Still, I don't wanna dance around the semantics of whether I NEED someone else to tweak my 880, I still WANT someone to, at I'm not talking a warm H/L/LA factory settings fiddle, I mean a proper saw tweaker/rebuilder. so, SE, London, Herts, essex....... appreciated. btw slasher, you got the forum social skills of a pile of dog crap up a dark alley

Slasher...... Well I've been in this game 25 years too, and sure, I have had to tune my own saws throughout that time - goes with the job But I'm not a mech, and I know they can be really tarted up! - like any engine. And when you've spent 8hrs ripping, and your hands/forearms are numb, you too might want a revved up saw to get it done that little bit quicker.

Does anyone know of a really good saw tuner in the south east? I've a pretty much new 880 from ebay that I use for only ripping, and I'd like it serviced, tuned up. Thank you (matt the ripper)
