They shouldn't weigh that much if it's nice and dry. Can flip them over on the deck. Lad round here drives with them barely strapped. Often see them on the verge waiting for him to return. How he hasn't done anyone in is beyond me.

Wow!

You'll be a "time traveller" going into that one. What a whopper. I look forward to your vids of it. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Are you sure you're not remembering the Rambo film where he joins up to fight the Ruskies? Rambo 3?

Were the bench legs an Ebay item too? I haven't seen anything like that n my searches. Mind if I pm you for a link?

Many thanks. For the £15-20 I can get one for I'm prepared to give it a go. If it doesn't work it'll go straight back on ebay and I'll move on. Thanks. Bob

Cheers Doug. This helps me greatly. Cheers Bob

We had a small tub for the old horse. Her feet used to crack up badly and you could dab a bit on to seal it and stop it getting infected. Bloody pricey to be buying loads only to bury it. Pine is full of natural creosote anyway isn't it?

Hi All, After damaging a couple of milling chains I realise a detector would be a handy purchase. However also noting this is a hobby and also being cheap until something proves it's value. I wondered If these Wand type detectors are any good? Has anyone tried them? Like TRYFUN Sensitive Hand-held Metal Detector. NEW (G1,) WWW.EBAY.CO.UK <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">TRYFUN Sensitive Hand-held Metal Detector. NEW.</p> <br> <br> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">New in box... and ☆ Metal Detector DM3004A Handheld High Sensitivity Scanner Security Checker WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Model: DM3004A. Alarm: buzzer sound/LED alarm. LED indicator: working and low battery prompt. Long-lasting battery life: using smart power-saving technology, low power... Or do I really need to spend £100 or more? Recommendations??? Cheers Bob

Ditto. Had 3 pair sitting this year up from the usual 2 pair. After late start they are on to their second clutch of eggs by the look. Fingers crossed the weather doesn't put the mockers on it.

Only ever cut cookies with the Panther Chainsaw Mill. Easy peasy once you had first cut level. With mill, won't fixing/screwing it to a decent sized board and clamping the board work?

After reading all of this and reading again.... "The saw had been damaged when a large log fell on it and bent the bar, but a replacement bar seemed to be all that was needed." Are you sure the bar studs on the wonky saw haven't been damaged? if one was pulled up a bit the shoulder part might change the way the bar interacts with the spikes. Only wonky cuts I ever get are from bad chains. Hope you figure it out. following with interest.

I did some Pop a few years ago. It was ok, most of the slabs stayed straight. Very wet from memory. Dried almost white. No real figure or outstanding grain to speak of until you stain it. Nice and lightweight when dry. Would I mill it again? Yes. Straightforward and easy. Hope it helps. Bob

Had similar experience when I swapped from ZZR1100 to a new ZRX1100. Gave it the beans away from the lights (as usual?) and popped it up into 2nd and 3rd - clutchless as I used to do and then the wheel thumped down.... had a bit of a start as the ZZR never used to lift unless you put in real effort. 2000miles later and new rear tyre and chain well on the way it was time to reflect and calm down. Happy days. But wouldn't dream of it now I still ache from minor body/road interactions.

Yep, agreed. But this was in the mid 80's and on cross-ply's Went down the route and goy a CB750k7 Plenty enough for me.

Always fancied an 850 Le Mans but was put off by mates that said they were a real handful in the wet. All the torque making them squirm.

I was thinking much the same. He is still crashing plenty of milled stuff out on Insta

Roughhewnuk one of my faves. For Milling. I also follow a few # so #chainsawmilling for me, always brings a load of interesting content...from there it is not hard to find a regular producer of content you like that you can follow in turn. For you #arbwork ?

I was thinking the same. My experience: I (hobby) mill and the Oregon stuff seems to lose it's edge and stretch. Stihl although a little more pricey (not much really) takes an edge and lasts the distance. Happy to be shouted down by professional millers as every day is a learning day with the milling. Bob

Got it...had a brain freeze. Just done the calc and it's spot on. Cheers

Shouldn't there be a degree angle in there somewhere?

Same here.

I had this. Fuel solenoid, new filter and plug sorted it out. Not had a problem since. Fingers crossed...it's my go to saw. I'd be lost without it.

Sounds horrible, worse than Myxie. Someone else mentioned Weasels. Saw a couple last year. Don't know about the rabbits but they seem to be doing well without. We also have some of these strange "singing" frogs round here. Rumoured to be the edible sort. They are gradually colonising the numerous small ponds and lakes and must be supporting some of the local wildlife.
