He didn't mean to. He was clearly using a smaller bar for the face cut, and over cut the centre of the hinge with the nose. Bloody poor work IMO.

Oh god, since Jon left Steve has come back. Better the devil...

To be honest I think the forum hasn't been as enjoyable in a long time. Lots of interesting threads, and good contributions. Probably gonna ruffle some feathers, that.

I own the Tekichu and use a Big shot at work. They don't get used often, and are pretty similar. I reckon the Big Shot will get more reach. The Stein one folds flat but really that's just a gimmick. Much of a muchness really.

I have a HND in Hort which I thought was level 3?
-
I'd consider it, cept I don't have a level 2z
-
Yes, very.

Ah, who was it?
-
Link?

Stats are that the Echo is lighter with more power, Paul. It's all irrelevant if they've lumped it with an insufficient cutting gear.
-
Nah, that's the 150. The heavy chain ruins it for me.

Top work, great tune, and as always, fantastic hair. Nice one mate. Was the pull line on a winch?
-
Pretty sure that's against the rules bro

Well it made me smile!

So what kind of kit do you find to be replacing the most. Obviously chains/fuel/oil are all budgeted for, but if you're replacing ropes etc more frequently than needed that'll add up. You should easily get a year out of ppe. Climbing kit should last longer than that, same as rigging kit. If machines are regularly breaking or getting replaced you'd need to look at why.

What is your weekly net target for a team of lads? 2 or 3 man team?

Fair enough. The gauge tool I gave is for standard 1/4" but it doesn't fit. It's so sensitive though that I'd worry about taking off too much with a file.
-
How do you guys set the depth gauges on them one-fiddy chains? My angle grinder is making a bloody mess of them.

I had that, cutting discs off a rotten willow with the 460. On ladders, harness but not strop. The ladders gave out under me, and I ended up hanging from my saw strop (bar wedged in the cut). The bar bent 90 degrees, and I new the next thing to go would be the rear handle/fuel tank of the 46. So I cut the strop with my silky. Landed on my arse and ankle, but the saw was fine, minus the bar!
-
Next time you need a toothpick let me know...
-
I missed that. What happened? I once had a saw shot out of a bore cut, handle first, into my gentleman sausage. Not life threatening but my dignity never recovered.
-
Cheers dude, that's a 460 with 25" bar for scale, about 35' up. Interesting cross section at the base. Still not figured it out but possibly was previously a multi stemmed tree in it's youth. I love jobs like that but I'm knackered now. 3/4 of a transit of sawdust!

Couple more from the Monterey Cypress.

Good god! I'd end up as your human butt plug!
