Saw this on ebay from the states, What's the difference between this and the 560? NEW HUSQVARNA 562 XP CHAINSAW with 20" Bar/Chain ****WE SHIP INTERNATIONAL**** | eBay
-
Top quality carve there:thumbup: In response to the earlier quips, that is exsealent:001_rolleyes:
-
Think I'd need to paint the axe/splitter bright orange so I could see it coming:laugh1:
-
You could get a quarter tip carving bar and run it on 3/8 lo pro, so no need to change the sprocket. The zebra ones on chainsawbars on here are very cheap if you only want to use it occasionally. If you go down the grinder route, the Arbortec discs are good, I splashed out on the turboplane which is great at roughing out for bowls, although you will still need to sand it, 40 and 60 grit on backing pad with grinder does a hell of a lot.

Looking for large hard cord or butts somerset
wisewood replied to mendiplogs's topic in Firewood forum
Hi Jon, did anything come of this? I might know someone interested in this that's all Cheers, Si -
Cool, I'm doing a woodpecker soon, nice to see your interpretation:thumbup1:
-
That's pretty cool Nick, I reckon if you scaled that up to 15" - 20" diameter logs or bigger you'd get that WOW factor:001_smile:
-
Hi Nick, How big a sign ? If not massive then how about a sanded disc/tree slice about 15" or more. You could router the script out. Better still, how about making a large cutting/serving board with some script on one side. That way they can keep using it after the big day:thumbup: Cheers, Si
-
Hi Rob, Cheers I'll ask Jonathan. You mentioned a while ago you spent a day making stickers, and I meant to ask you at the time what you made them from? Did you use planed softwood and rip it to size or something else? Cheers, Si Ooh yeh, also I spotted you do a 42" bar to fit an 066, have you tried one? Guess it would run a bit slow but sounds a much cheaper option to buying an 880.
-
Cheers Lee, sussed it:001_smile: The oiler plate was one of those snap on/off types:001_rolleyes: was just going at it too tentatively. Clutch surround came off easy, released the spring and worked out the mechanics of the busted handle in readiness of its replacement:thumbup:
-
Hi peeps, broke the chain break handguard the other day and while I'm waiting for the replacement to arrive I thought I'd investigate the problem. My first question is, how do I remove the metal oiler plate under the bar studs? I can't see any obvious fixings and I can't remove the internal plate surrounding the clutch without taking it off. What am I missing here guys? Also the brake band is on, I assume I can release it once I have the mechanism exposed. Cheers, Si
-
Cheers guys, should be alright then:001_smile:
-
Snapped the hand guard on my 066 today. I've ordered a replacement but will it be one of those that go mushy on the 660's?
-
I'm with you Mattmoss, ms200 back handle with carving bar, 066 with 20" and 36" bars. Although I fancy a 260/ 346 to cover the middle ground, carving with the 066 is fast and fun but gets pretty tiring by the end of the day .
-
This may have been discussed before but is there an obvious difference between the above in regards to treating milled wood from beetle attack. Borax is much cheaper than the likes of wykarbor.
-
Hey Alvin, thanks. Yes some creative milling with a borrowed Alaskan and some granberg ripping chain. I had to resort to stone age technology to move/roll the trunk each time I took a slice off. I'm relieved to say it worked just as well as I'd hoped it would. cheers, Si

Couldn't possibly say:sneaky2: Clues in this link though:001_tongue:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.448172835255432.100635.205268576212527&type=3

Had a bit of time to mess about this afternoon and cut out the door and a little window. Need to level the base properly and then on to the house construction:biggrin:
-
A couple of old pieces back in for some TLC, followed by a little experiment. A tree house on top of a hollowed butt. The butt will have a small door carved in with a ladder inside to access the house. The house will be constructed from the heartwood removed. Will be continuing and updating as and when I get the chance. Paid jobs have to take priority.

STIHL MS150 TC-E Top Handle Chainsaw Now Available from Honey Brothers
wisewood replied to Honey Bros's topic in General chat
Not sure but thought it's a 1/4 chain but narrower gauge than carving chain .0.43 maybe?? -
Thanks guys, Rover yes the wind was whipping it back in my face:lol: I like your idea of storing wedges in the mill bars:thumbup1: Yeh I was putting the pressure on the back guide on the exit each time but sods law dictates when you try and film it you balls it up:laugh1:
-
Re stacked the slabs as advised, thanks Jonathan. Hmm yes could well be ash:blushing: It came in as a load of oak for firewood. I pulled out a couple of the butts for myself. I'll see what the others are. Still nice to mill whatever it is
-
Just a bit of fun, wedged my phone in a saw cut to take the vid. [ame] [/ame]
-
Cool, I'll try that first:thumbup: Thanks Alec Having said that, I'll need to re set the pallets, doh!
-
Thanks for the input Jonathan, I don't fancy re stacking em but I guess I need to. Might do as you did in the pic and lay two boards wide while I'm at it. Did you go look at that oak in the end? Nick, thanks mate. The tree's oak BTW:sneaky2:
