I'm not so sure . The last two guys AJ fought weren't of the stamp of FN . He dropped Fury and in my book anyway he won that fight . It will be interesting . I will U tube it in the morning also .

I have heard the sap can attack the aluminum of the saw casings . 

Oi oi then

Good morrow kind sirs .

To think I use to get these jobs done with a Stihl MS 194T. Here is a video from a few years ago where we had to use a porta wrap to bring down nearly every limb. The tree was growing through the deck and it was tough. Although the 194T is a good saw, the power is not so good. I'm glad to have the 201 now, way more power. Any suggestions on a top handle saw?

 

Watch as it struggles to cut this maple.

 

 

 

Did you have the camera hatched to the saw !

So what did you mean to say when you wrote this, as it seems like a straightforward statement?

Nice chap he was too, much like open spaceman, id only met him a few times at shows and had a natter. He was still teaching apprentices until not so long ago I believe. Well respected man from what I know. 

I used to see him at least once a week when walking my spaniel . We would chat for a bit and say see you later bud .  When he was not at last years West Dean wood fair I did wonder if he was ok . He had just hasnded over his charcoal patch to Phil of " Brushwood Tree Care ".

Morning all . Absolutely hooning it down . 5c and the downstairs lights have blown . ho hum .

Just heard that Alan Waters has recently passed away . Good old woodsman and charcoal maker in the woods at West Dean . Very interesting old boy who was still working  in his 80s . Some on hear will have known him . The Village Idiot was one I'm sure . @the village idiot

The gains always sound great but if you purchased in Nov 2021, you won't be feeling so chipper.

Now if you purchased in Dec 2022...now may be a good time to sell.

Steve , I have some dosh to " invest " but I don't trust coz I don't understand it .

It's cleaning up nicely really.

I'll post up some more pics when I get it back together.

Had to mix up some fuel as it states 20:1 😁

Got no spark so need to go through it after work tomorrow.. I like it.

Certainly will cut something with it to see how nasty it is 😂

Don't know if I'll sell it or not. .. you want it?

Don't go down the 20:1 rout unless you have some 68year old oil .  If you are using modern synthetic 2T oil . 50:1 will be better . Oil tech has moved on considerably since then .

Danarm 1-71-SS it's got pop but needs a service.

Looks a bit like something used in forging, to cut hot metal. One person holds it on the metal, the other hammers the back of it to drive it through...

Yep , seen that done . 👍
