i was on a cambium saver! using i think about an 85cm (eye to eye) ocean polyester 10mm on a 13mm yale, i'll def keep messing on with it but found its hard to justify pissing about with stuff on a job! will try the knut- thanks
-
i'll have to try and have a shot on some geckos, feels pretty annoying to have to buy some new spikes just for that reason!
-
its the sound effects that do it for me
-
well guess its just us three that find funny videos on the internet
-
yo dan, you got an update on this? still working out?
-
i will, any other advice?
-
few! there is hope
-
tried 3 different spikes with them, 2 kleins and stein x2's my feet are in agony in them! any tips? is it just these wierd shaped boots? never had this bothe with hiax or treeme.

used a hitch climber with a vt for the first time today - didn;t seem any easier to a prussik? what am i missing? vt was annoying me as i kept having to give it a little tweak to get it to grip everytime i tended slack. any tips?

have a rayburn 355, tonnes of hot water for for 4 rads+ and baths, cooking and room heating, nealry a barrow of logs a day in the winter though. for the second hand price you can;t beat them.
-
also done, the title of the thread "proposed all-party" caught my attention! -
great vids, thanks for making them! you might wish to try longboard grip tape as it is coarser/grippier

nearly wet my pants at these guys [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] and this is an epic short film; [ame] [/ame]

me neither, but my hands are constantly full of cuts/scratches and little infections, but find when ever i do wear some (hawthorn, libernum etc) i have to always take them off to do what i want!
-
great. could quite see the ripped out limb, but it looked nasty. also, what coincidental surname you have!
-
yep, check arbtrader!
-
saw is on the arbtrader link, your msgs are in top right somewhere. £90 for the saw, bit more if you want the new 1/4 sprocket with it. can maybe find you a carving bar also

Do carving bars kickback more than standard
billpierce replied to Hams25's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
seriously, stick s bit dressing in your chansaw trouser pocket! you prob will never need (i've had one in mine for 10 years) but if you do want one, you'd rather have it handy. cannon, sugihara both are good chainsaw carving bars. get a 1/4 14' or 12''. i prefera 14'' bar, and a little saw like a ms170 or see the other thread on this topic! -
i think you will kill a carving bar pretty fast with a 390. you could try a toonie bar, but really for a dime or quarter tip you need a under 40cc saw. ms170 is a cheap option, 1/4 pitch is the way forward for carving i reckon!
-
where do you buy your bars and chains from?
billpierce replied to horticultur-al's topic in Chainsaws
can;t get that linky to worky. you heard of sagenspezi out there? i seen some real cheap stihl non OEM bits including bar and chains -
back of the net!
-
agreed, or aus clip together ones, then you can just keep going!
-
never used the 135, but have used snother similar cc husky and the 420 is a little belter! worth every penny. closer to £240 quid through german amazon, but i reckonmend shavey off here, especially if you want your warrenty to mean anything
-
more kickback with ripping chain? maybe, but not if your milling with it. i can't be arsed with oregon ripping chain and just use normal chain, works fine. do some and then experiment if you want but ripping chain certainly isn't faster
-
yep anything under 40cc that you can get a 1/4 sprocket for (i happen to have x2 ms170 with 1/4 sprockets for sale!) get a light saw either way, doesn't need loads of grunt as you will prob block out with your 038
