    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!
  4. billpierce
    great. could quite see the ripped out limb, but it looked nasty. also, what coincidental surname you have!
  5. billpierce
    yep, check arbtrader!
  6. billpierce
    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
  7. billpierce
    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!
  8. billpierce
    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!
  9. billpierce
    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
  10. billpierce
    back of the net!
  11. billpierce
    agreed, or aus clip together ones, then you can just keep going!
  12. billpierce
    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
  13. billpierce
    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
  14. billpierce
    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
  15. billpierce
    crown lift with a long pole saw?
  16. billpierce

    Scrap pile!

    billpierce replied to div_h's topic in General chat

    agree fully with you. d-heads steal stuff and they are from many walks of life. i said it before but people got to stop generalising and tarring all travellers the same. it wouldn't be tolerated to say all women/northerners/gays/arsnel supporters/gingers/irish/ etc etc are stealing scumbags would it? (don't answer that) i got a husky 50 that wants a new piston and carb boot and a husky 37 that i just about got running, a ms170 in component parts all slowly getting screws taken off them that have dissapeared at some point
  17. billpierce
    aye the roof looks like it wants a bit more sheeps wool
  18. billpierce
    nice "barn". when do you move in?
  19. billpierce
    sure people will tell you different, but i have always got away with larch cladding green. its pretty stable and unless putting it up in mid summer i'd say you'd be ok. worth pre drilling holes perhaps, larch sap wood definatley doesn;t last that well, but if you have big eves i wouldn;t worry too much

    best thing i done with a computer was when it became frustratingly slow, i converted to ubuntu, now it boots quicker than any laptop i had, and when you need a program you just select it and it downloads for free and installs itself. costs nothing and worth a punt before you next upgrade a computer
  21. billpierce
    or her
  22. billpierce
    my money is on a coil fault
  23. billpierce
