Some great input thanks everyone. I didn't explain earlier but I'm turning an 026 into another carving saw, so will be running picco on a carving bar. I know Oregon also do 1/4 rims, does anyone have or know where to get hold of stihl 1/4 rims?

If you halved through the pith, then roughed out each half with saw. Beg / borrow a harrycane chainsaw gauge to finish the surface. Or turboplane on a small grinder.

Hi there, Have a look at this,http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaw-carving-forum/61230-finished-tree-house-finally.html I milled the edges off in five or six pieces and then screwed/bolted them back together minus the core wood:thumbup: Cheers, Si

Hi Stubby, Why is that mate? Cheers, Si Hi Pinkfoot, It's the 7 toothed 0000642 1240 that I have, so will see how it runs. I'll be using with oregon 91vlx

Hi I'm looking to run 3/8 picco / lo pro chain on an 026. Which rim should I get, from what I can tell there's a 7 pin and an 8 pin picco 3/8 rim not including normal 3/8 rim. Anyone done this ?
-
Oh bugger! Could still work as is though
-
I would have thought there would be more info on this tbh. These products must have been trialled before going out on the mass market. As it's only my carving saw that is gunked up I can only guess that it's because the saw is being used in positions abnormal to usual saw use. You may be ok with it if just felling and ringing up.

Hi, It's Super tac bio oil from Clarkes. apart from caking up the pot exterior it acts like synthetic bar oil.
-
I guess the latter two you'd have to strip the saw down to get at the cylinder. That maybe beyond my comfort zone Steve. I read last night on an American site that saws used by fire fighters get tarred up from creosote. it was suggested using a drill bit same size as gap in between the fins and running it through on a very low speed to almost file the gunk off.
-
The yard I work from has a strict bio chain oil policy, which is all fine and good but it is causing a horrible build up of burned on tar on my carving saw. ms 200 BTW. I've scraped what I can off the fins but was wondering if there's a product out there to deal with this. At present it's only affecting this saw, probably 'cos it's used a lot cutting upwards from below so excess oil is trickling back through the saw. Has anyone else found this and what are the best/most effective cleaning methods/products? Cheers, Si

Cheers Harry, I have to check out prescription safety glasses.

Nice maquette Rick, would scale up well.

Sorry for the hijack but can anyone suggest goggles to fit over specs?

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/67720-aching-joints.html Some good info on here mate, I'm still suffering in my right elbow but I got one of these PhysioRoom Advanced Adjustable Elbow Support Neoprene Arthritis Pain Relief | eBay which is so much better than the elasticated tubes. i'm getting some accupuncture soon off my neighbour but she said to leave until I get a quiet spell at work as it may flare up right after treatment.

What additions would you like to see on Arbtalk
wisewood replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Something like "woodlots" where you look to buy and sell trees/logs. Could have an on offer and wanted categories. I know this sort of covers firewood,forestry,milling and carving but would be good to have one place to go to see. -
Maybe it's time for a chainsaw trouser for carvers that have pockets at the knees like work trousers so you can insert foam pads! I would definitely be up for trialling those.
-
I did think of those but reckon I'd either forget to move them when I move or I'd get peed off adjusting them every time I changed position. I think knee pads are worth trialling though.
-
Yeh I use all sorts to get most work off the ground but I always end up having to get on my knees:laugh1: Stumps and the bigger logs have to be dealt with where they are. TBH even my jeans end up with no knees, I'm beginning to realise it's a habit that extends beyond the workplace
-
Very nice:thumbup:
-
I've tried patching one knee twice with the spare kevlar patch. First time my stitching wore away and the patch peeled off. second time, recommended by my wife I used some iron on membrane to stick it back on. Lasted about two weeks:thumbdown: I'm not great with a needle and don't want to stitch up the blocking material.
-
Nice one Russell, they look pretty good too mate
-
-
Cheers Ian, they look pretty good. Never worn pads before so am a bit wary of comfort and maneuverability, but if it saves me spending out on more trousers it's got to be worth a try. Sorry to hear you've been robbed bud.
-
I'm wearing out the knees on my waipoua trousers from regularly kneeling down while carving. They have kevlar knees but will need patching soon or even replacing. Does anyone use knee pads? and if so which ones ? If I end up replacing trousers which have best wear resistance? Thanks, Si

Seen that before, wish I was that efficient with my cuts!
