060 Spalted beech, elm and oak boards

Cheers ginger, I use food grade mineral oil,sold as "liquid paraffin" from chemists. It's about £1 a bottle so much cheaper than these so called butchers block oils. The boards were kiln dried I think, I used a load of off cuts from one of the millers on here. -
Cheers guys, got my first order last night:biggrin: That's the fastest turn around I've ever had! Best get off here and do some more:sneaky2:

Did these today, hoping they'll fly out in the coming weeks:sneaky2:

Stumped for an idea of what to do with this

Looks like a couple kissing in an embrace to me, but the rot may not give you enough wood to make it happen:001_smile: -
Ryan I forgot to answer your question on bar makes, Cannon and Sugi Hara are probably the best, Oregon sculptor are pretty good. Stihl I've heard can be a bit hit and miss,but couldn't say as I've not tried them. All of these can be bought from one of the site sponsors:001_tt2: RobD at Chainsawbars - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists

Hi, as above speak to Rob D, he'll tell you what'll fit your mounts etc. As a general rule anything over 40cc will cause excess stress on carving bars and chain. Having said that lots of carvers use 260's/ 346's with toonie bars for the finer stages of blocking out. You'll have no problem getting carving bars to fit the 200t, you'd need to get a 1/4 sprocket if you want to use a dime tip bar and carving chain. You'd have more control with a back handle though.

Great news mate well done!! proof the universe reacts to a positive attitude:thumbup:
-
Carving a giant redwood, so be sure to give me a shout

good to know I'm not alone:laugh1:

You guys are a great resource for numpty's like me. I have to admit with a little egg on my face that Gardenkit was on the money with a carb reassembly issue. I only went and put the metering valve back upside down:blushing: Flipped it the right way round and she's ticking over again, all be it a bit smokey:001_rolleyes: Thanks everyone for taking the time and not taking the P Cheers, Si
-
Rich do you mean the fuel line? if so yes mate.
-
The 010 Steve, I've had the carb apart and flushed everything but it will only run from the fuel poured direct into carb. The metering valve/diaphragm is not getting wet. It's like there's a blockage from the tank to the carb but all's been flushed out:confused1:
-
Thanks for all the great advice guys:thumbup: In answer to the many questions, Yes oil got in the carb Fuel tank flushed fuel filter, fuel line, carb, diaphrams/valves, mesh filter have been soaked in fuel and cc as well as flushed with cc I must have got oil on the pull cord too as it is making an unusual noise, so I'll be taking a closer look today, it needs to be re tensioned any way. Will report back, Cheers, Si
-
During a refill I found my mind wandering and as I removed the no spill spout the chain oil spout poured an arc of oil across the saw and into the fuel tank:thumbdown: At the time I wasn't certain any got in but after several attempts to start it I checked the carb and it was quite evident that it had sucked bar oil through:001_rolleyes: I've flushed the tank, cleaned the carb and diaphrams etc. It will start when fuel is poured directly into carb but then dies. I'll be changing the fuel filter but am I missing something? If I can get it running long enough it should clean it self shouldn't it??

Like your leaf shapes Tom:thumbup1:

How could anyone resist taking a card now:001_smile:
-
Here you go mate, Yandles Search
-
Finished today, should have called this thread "first stump carve". Been a challenge but enjoyed the experience:001_smile: Customer wanted a horse (house is old stables) with some druidy elements. The bench was thrown in as a last minute extra.
-
£103 from Yandles Steve:thumbup1:

Cheers everyone, did it today Barry:001_tongue:,you'll see it tomorrow hopefully mate.
-
I bought one last week and it's pretty impressive. Takes off chips/shavings instead of the dust off sanding pads. Certainly worth having in the toolbox mate.

Cheers Barry:001_smile: So there's woodfest wales, carve Carrbridge, any others? Westonbirt used to have sculptree is that still going?
