  1. the potatoes do good if you file your barrel sharp sort of like a a apple corer you know same principle as those old spud guns like this but yeah reckon oranges would be pretty hot too
  2. yeah as said burn any wood as long as properly seasoned. i think the fuss is about some folk thinking you get more for your money buying seasoned hard wood than soft etc
  3. never tried a sugi bar, but will next time i have one needing replacement. an ms170 bought seconf hand years ago lasted me well, but i have just bought a dolmar 3410(adjustable oiler so the tip can stay very cool.) which is basically a dolmars back handle ms200. light, powerfull, pro saw. just the job so far and a good bit cheaper. but i haven't had it for ages so who knows how it will stand the test of time. if i were to get robbed (touch wood.) i think i would be seriously lloking at replacing with makita dolmar echo.......shavey on here was on about ps32 dolamr carving saws which come with 1/4 oregon carving bars etc. people seem to rate echos, never had one yet. have fun! and def get a dime tip bar rather than one you can run on 3/8 picco. big differenc in terms of getting into tight spots..... oh i assume you buying new? if not i also used an old stihl 010 av for a good while which was a cracking saw and cost about 65 quid. still got it, still runs, oils loads. if you can afford it i would suggest buying a pro carving saw, but not totally essential
  4. also you may have seasoning issues if your leave unsplit and just split to order. i know you can get away with it with some wood mind
  5. really sorry to ask but its def the right chain for the bar yeah?
  6. don't know if anyone has made before. they are class, and would def take a drone out. also these are amazing and the range is incredible! sorry to hear of drone trouble!

    i had to keep super busy until i was knackered in the evenings to give up...think if things you can do - i started whittling/carving little sticks in the evenings, drinking lots of tea, more coffee etc -----keeping your mind busy for the first week or so helped alot i think.
  8. a hilux chainsaw combo would have been good. kind of like a transformer
  9. LOL! you never know what people might have made out of a sack full of bits
  10. he asked for pictures!
  11. how much work has it done?
  12. aye looks the same L and S do an oem one for 880 088 and 084
  13. how bad is the shake in it? looks bad in first photo but hard to tell?
  14. yes the cheap after market pistons on ebay say 088 084 and 880....mmmmm but prob not worth a punt for £25
  15. which are the ones you can resharpen and has anyone had much luck doing it?
  16. sure did! sigh. but it was cheap and had a 36'' bar and newish chain which i needed anyway.....why did they stop making parts?loosers. does a 088 piston fit?
  17. did it refuse to die on the choke too?

    ok well i was thinking of sticking a little 8 or 10" R7 sugi carving bar on the 230t.....can you get a sprocket in 1/4 or are they only 3/8LP for 222/230?.

    yep but general rule of thumb for lots of untested chemicals straight in yer lungs is prob not a good idea right? not saying fags are better or worse or that there e cigs are bad - just be nice to have some good research on long term use BEFORE everyones at it right?
  23. Lol i've just google nakanoto and silky images search and just got photos of you conny bashing! go on then why they better than gomotoro?
  24. 2 gaskets, a diaphram, a needle, lever and spring, maybe a "welch" plug and a gauze. i think they vary slightly
  25. those mesh glasses do anything weird to your vision or just like normal mesh? prob a dumb question.....these look good too
