    While there’s some clarity on this can I ask a further question regarding tow weight I have a B-E license (passed in 87) My current vehicle Volvo XC70 has a tow weight of 1800kg, would I get into bother towing a trailer plated above that 1800kg even if the trailer was either under loaded or empty?

    Hi Sean, If you do Facebook then check in to https://m.facebook.com/chainsawcarvings/ There’s also a world map of chainsaw artists, just google it and see who’s nearby [emoji106]

    Not visited for a while, here’s a couple of recent projects

    I’ve got one of those security wands, they’re pretty accurate most of the time. Although anything swallowed by the tree becomes guesswork and I usually resort to a new sharp chain to find it [emoji38]

    Local chainsaw Carver would be interested I reckon

    Thanks, I don’t usually plan far enough ahead to make videos, but I do have this one from last month[emoji106][

    Thanks for all the feedback so far[emoji106] I should have mentioned that I don’t climb so that element won’t be a deciding factor. What I did like about the Sip jacket was the large hood that fitted over my ear defenders

    My Sip Keiu rain jacket came apart today, reckon it’s over two years old but now need to find a replacement asap. Have been happy with it until now, looking for feedback on any alternatives available , Bear valley Alpha any good? Cheers, Si

    These things crop up regularly on various carving forums. I’ve seen a lot of different posts of horrific injuries caused by these, grinder kicking back etc. Far safer to use a saw!

    Yes that looks very useful Rob, attached to a squared log is how I imagined it done[emoji106] I do like your table though, have you any footage on how the track sits along the table edge? Will the intersect come with the track? And have you an idea on price yet?

    Excellent, very interested in this[emoji106] Lol I must have switched the website to Chinese ?
  16. wisewood
    Rob, your website is in Chinese????
  17. wisewood
    Look forward to seeing this Rob

    Sorry, I’ve just watched it again and you didn’t mention anything of the sort, weird lol

    Hmm, yes both had equal chain stretch. That new chain looks more aggressive and about 2 seconds faster (second cut) than the standard chain in the second video [emoji106]

    That’s an excellent piece of kit Rob[emoji106] I watched the demo vid last week, I seem to remember you mentioning that it can be used to replank thicker boards or true up / plane seasoned boards. If this is possible, how exactly can this be done? I can’t see how the end brackets would attach to a thin board, unless you clamp the board somehow to another log your milling??

    Thanks for the heads up, what did you have to do to downplate?
  22. wisewood
    Pre 97
  23. wisewood
    Thanks for the replies[emoji106] I’m still not sure haha but will look into down plating to 1800 to cover my back
  24. wisewood
    I’m hoping for a definitive answer to this query. Current vehicle has a max towing weight of 1800kg. Is it an offence to tow a higher rated trailer, say 2000 or 2700kg but staying under 1800kg loaded? Obviously there’s a risk of going over weight with 2700 trailer but I’d sooner have a 2000kg than down size to 1600kg. 1800kg are hard to come by.

    Thanks everyone, there were some incredible pieces, wouldn’t want to have judged it. The acorn was by Andy O’Neil titled “From seed to sawmill “[emoji106]
