he set off with a old 08s 20" bar trashed, that then had to finish off with 170 12" bar, and he wanted me to ring it up so he can put it in his boiler told him to weigh it in would be a better idea ,ringed top up but left bottom 5ft as staining was starting to show,

rolled up at a job this morning a bit late, due to some of them road works they dont really need to do, because they did em about 2 wk ago, ? , only to be met by this when i got to job site, the guy who done it asked me what is that cut called and would that be a NPTC pass or fail ? I just said its a go home cut that one and dont come back for at least 12 months, i think a carving course would be more in his line ,What do you guys think,,,

i think this is what i did, saved the quote of web site got the ref number and then rang them, cancelled old policy and took new one out no problems,if you have put all your details in on the net and they are the same as what they have on record you should be ok to go a head, and then just do the same next year and year, after just done my l200 like this about £70 cheaper than renewing old policy, go for it as we all pay through the nose for insurance,

i have had a lot of saws over the years and you have had more oiling issues in a week than i have had in 30 odd years to me its either your oil or its your maintanace program? do you clean the bar groove out and the oil hole in the bar as it dont take much to block that hole up, the oil pumps fitted on the 261 461 661 are of very very simple design and in my book simplicity is reliability it just sounds a strange issue that you should have so many going in a short space of time, i have all so used quite a few different oils over the years, some they call heavy chain oil and all been ok,but now settled on the northern arb oil, using 25ltrs every 3 wk in 241 260 261 460 461 & 660 only issue was about 2 yrs ago and put a new pump and worm drive in a old 2003 460,

ok temp has droped oil thickens, oil during the summer was like water now its glupey empty one saw and mix yourself some chain oil and veg oil at about 65/35 mix the veg oil will thin your chain oil down should work but its got to be oil as its not one saw but a few, i take it there all on same oil ? we use the oil from northern arb its thinner than most but does the job and its cheap .
-
are oilers turnned down or are they flat out ? have you ever cleaned filter in oil tank,? or ever cleaned tank out as they do get a fair amount of crap in them,

i know where your at on this one, we have a lot of pink footed geese up here and years ago i was out on a regular basis and the freezer was full of goose breasts and legs, now a days i only have a couple of outings over the christmas holidays or late january and just get myself a few for the freezer but no big numbers now,
-
and heres me struggling to get rid of some larch of your work premmisses about 6 wk ago and your burning pallets,,,,,,,

skinning then is a doddle, just rip the skin on the breast and pull it off then just use a sharp knife to take the flesh off and then cut leg and thigh off, if you can when you take the feet off try and get the tendons out while bird is still whole,then enjoy ,

had a phase of cooking pheasant in fruit juice once over, and some turned out very good i think best one was equal parts of apple orange and cranberry then make a sause out of juice,
-
thats pretty good deal that ,
-
yes proberbly but there are people out there that cant afford much meat and lets face it pheasant is not that much different than chicken depending on how you cook it, and you cant give them birds to these people that would really appriecate them, dont know what othere people do with them but i just get a pheasant breast open it up lancashire or chedder cheese inside along with some cranberry wrapp in bacon place on tray in oven for 20-25 mins ,fantastic to eat,,
-
i am sorry its nation wide no one wants pheasants in numbers this year, one shoot paying 20p a brace to get them taken away, another giving them to a smoke house and we have looked in to dressing birds and giving them to a food bank but HSE legistalation says no because of possible lead content so me and my dogs will be sick of pheasant by christmas and i will be looking forward to that turkey for once,
-
yes same here i wont shoot another one again unless they get back up in to decent numbers, didnt shoot any last year just let em all go past, some shoots up here have impossed some heafty finds for shooting woodcock one shoot has set it at a grand donated to charity for shooting woodcock and this shoot used to have a couple of just woodcock days 20/25 years ago with 100 bird bags regular but not now.
