Sorry Barrie, got to disagree with you. In my FS55 I had always used 2.4mm Stihl orange line, last year someone gave me some 2.4mm Oregon nylium starline. I my experience it has better wear resistance and cuts far better. Needless to say I've switch over to it completely. It may of course be the difference between the starline and the nyliun starline.

That's fantastic. I've been googling, here's another one Pedal powered chainsaw | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Phone these guys Miles Tool & Machinery Centre They don't seem to have an exploded diagram for the dcs500 but they are really helpful and knowledgeable.

One evening last year I was out after a few sea trout, covered myself in moziguard midge cream, worked really well until the little sods started biting my eyeballs - I went home! Never tried a midge net with chainsaw helmet, must give it a go.

No midges round your way?

No apology necessary, loving it

Got my 2 through today, these things are great and it's a great cause too I bought this Stihl multitool thingy a few years ago from ebay and it's hardly been used as I can never find it, it's always kicking around in the truck somewhere but I don't have the tidiest truck in the world! Saw these and thought straight away it would be ideal, even better that you can get it in Stihl colours, should be able to find it now

Hi all Friend of mine is trying to source a brakeband for a Husky 61 One listed on ebay but it is for plastic brake handle only this one has a metal brake handle. Anyone got any ideas of where to get one? Evidently he has tried L&S Engineers & Mr Solutions and they are both saying it's unavailable.

That's an excellent present! How did you join the letters together? Just glued or pined as well

Just ordered winch, pulley and rope to get this set up on my mill. Rob, what are the vibes like on the winch handle? Wondered about fitting foam handlebar grips over the handle to reduce vibes. Something like this 2pcs Bicycle Cycle Bike MTB Smooth/Rough Tube Sponge Foam Rubber Handlebar Grips | eBay

Great idea, email sent

As I said above I got a secondhand FS400, bought it from Harrythecat, thanks for the recommendation. Gave him a ring and had a good chat, nice bloke and very straight to deal with. The machine turned up this morning 2 days after I ordered it which to here is very good, if I had been on the mainland I would have had it yesterday. Great looking machine, it is in fact in better nick than I was expecting. Did the first job with it today ran like a dream, earning me money already. All in all a good purchase and a great bloke to deal with.

Thanks for all the replies Got a secondhand FS400 arriving in the morning, will have a play tomorrow and let you all know how it goes.

Here you go http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/milling-forum/51366-how-build-diy-timber-drying-kiln.html Big J's your man to quiz Sounds like a good idea to me if you can run a couple of rads into the kiln

I can confirm that chilli will very be a very effective deterent and make any dog think twice about chewing something similar again. Used to be a shepherd and had a dog that would eat my sandwiches if she ever got the chance. Once she did it 4 days in a row, on the 5th day "my sandwiches" contained chilli powder and cayenne pepper. After that day I could leave any food lying around and she definitely wouldn't touch it! Should say now that after letting the dog have a really good drink she showed now ill effects at all, but it was quite funny watching a dog trying to spit

As you're in Somerset get yourself to Yandle's in Martock or Axminster Power Tools, both have a good range and the guys in both places will give you some sound advice.

I would have expected this to have been replaced before now (not just repaired) Seriously bad service
