I like Jrose ideas, Rob D has a very user friendly site though. As far as carving bars are concerned, unless you are willing to source a variety of makes then I'd maybe look at capturing the market of new carvers who don't wish to spend £100+ on a bar. So click on a bar and info of bar mount, compatible with makes/models of saws. With link to types of chain available and number of links needed( I know this can vary by a link or two). Link to sprockets and worm drive options. Link to files/ sharpening kits. Maybe offer discount for a conversion kit, bar,chain,sprocket and worm drive and sharpening kit for ms 171,181 etc.

As Matty says, 70cc plus would be ideal but that will be more like £750 with a bar. Still ms362 is only a touch over your budget for a new 60cc saw. You could take a punt on a second hand saw, should get a 70cc saw for around £250_300 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

If you've done that with a standard bar then hats off to you! Great job. I think dervish was suggesting you have a natural talent and it would make sense to invest in a detail bar, especially if you want to tackle Mr toad. Once you get a carving bar you'll wonder how you managed without one. Keep up the good work and keep on posting :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

New saw mmmm, I'm tempted to try a husky but I'd need to look at these bar adapters first, all my bars run on Stihl mounts.

I would have thought you'd be able to get rim sprockets for them, do Oregon not do them for huskies Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Cheers Ian, poplar can be a bit stinky, black pop didn't smell though. Nicer to carve too Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

You could try a 4mm file 5/32 I think. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Is that 2 ft tall when lying down like in pic 1?? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hi Ian, meant to add that if you go down the ms 170 route you will need to modify the saw to accommodate the drive sprocket and belt. I have been told the ms180 doesn't need the mod but worth asking to make sure. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Securing a bench in the ground??
wisewood replied to Clyde Chainsaw Carving's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Its not my idea but I've used this method a few times now and its a simple way of setting work in the ground. Its an easy job for a fabricator to make and not that costly as it will save a lot of time and hassle when siting the work. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app -

Steel sub base bolted to base of work. Its basically a tube with a footplate and top plate welded on. Stainless bolts through top plate into base of work then sit whole thing in the hole. It should sit level at required depth until you back fill with concrete.:-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Me too, just did a search to see who this joker was and found this thread. Pm came through about 6.30 this morning Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

I'd keep the 181 out of the two. I've never used one but have heard good things about them. I do have a 170 for the harrycane and i wish I'd spent more on a 181 lol.

Does anyone know if this high output oiler fits an older 066 and what's the part number for it? I found this on a previous thread 1122 640 3201 but when I looked on L&S it just said oiler to fit ms665 , 066 (1.15mm stroke), is this the high output oiler? Cheers, Si

Could you set up two ladders butting up to each other. Adjust with wedges and check with a level when fixing down? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Sounds ideal for ripping thin weather boards and the like. Sorry Peter, i have crashed in on your thread mate. Cheers, Si

Hey Alec, What make of bandsaw is that mate? I've had a look online and seen the Ripsaw one. I never realised there was such a thing.

Have a chat with robd on here, the 42" lopro bar sounds like it would suit your needs. I run it on my 066/Alaskan set up for enough power to mill 36" butts. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Good point, tbh I'd probably be finishing my brew let alone finishing my first board ;-) Out of interest, anyone near me (Merseyside) with a band saw? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

Cheers bud, would need to cut a lot of boards to out way the the cost of hiring someone in with a mobile bandsaw. I'm guessing around £300 a day??
