  1. My personal favourite;
  2. You saying subbies don't need insurance?
  3. Do you get to keep the old one too?
  4. horrible. but a good reminder i suppose
  5. Some post the non faceache link to that first ouch vid will yer? Ta
  6. Yeah just watched again. It's pretty hardcore. When you see how rusty that main stem is and then see him on the little side branch. Jebus!
  7. Sweet sweet irony. That illustrates a previously unseen sense of humour fella
  8. After a starter recoil reel and expect I'll need some other bits. Can't find them online ( only place that has them is sold out) http:// https://www.japgmowers.co.uk/starter-pulley-rope-rotor-reel-husqvarna-163s-185cd-260cd-263cd-285cd-chainsaw-501-40-24-02-501-40-24-01-18775-p.asp
  9. Made a giant howling wolf sculpture then burnt it in village square for allen valleys folk festival. Made with a couple of pals over 2 days. Jaw was articulated and controlled by a bit wire rope. Had some flue up throat with some fuely hay in for a fire breathing effect. Was a good day yesterday! Lots of Morris Dancing while we built it and a class band called pons aelius played a romping set as it burned.
  10. Yeah all the time. So quick and easy and saves climbing to rigging points as well as you can just lob the rope to whatever crotch you want to use. Very handy on reductions where you're moving around and in and out of branches a lot also.
  11. Exciting stuff. Will keep a keen eye on this
  12. Was it a decent cylinder and piston fitted? My money is on a crappy cylinder and piston which looses compression when warm or hot
  13. Did you change the chain at same time? Either the bar and chain combo is wrong with your sprocket or the bar is
  14. Obv c. For climbing with. Spikes tent to chafe slightly though
  15. Shorts We call them.
  16. Chainsaw trousers, t shirt, hoodie on/off, whatever waterproof I am currently trashing on/off
  17. That is an excellent jig! Don't think the laser cut things will suit me as it's often outdoor, maybe I need a brand or something, just no idea where to get something like that
  18. Great to see your work. How do you turn perfect balls? Also were did you get the stamp made? Something i have been thinking about for all the benches and sculptures I make. Ta
  19. L and s engineers are half price of other stihl dealers on some stuff and get you stiff next day and tell you if out of stock
  20. No vid visable on android app
  21. I'll ask him for some
  22. Gis a shout on a decade when it's worn out then
  23. Pal of mine is selling a 7901. Literally done a few hours work gis a shout if your keen.
  24. I guess because it'she same as the top handle versions ( both ms200 and 201) which are very light and powerful ( for their cc) saws and pretty durable ( sort from 201) You are right though it's disproportionate to their cc/power. Expect the ms241 is worth a look in
  25. Yep that's what I'm selling a rear handle ms200. Dolmar parts some from shavey on here and he is a diamond. Might take a week or so if needs ordering. Also interchangeable with Makita bits
