  1. Exactly . Add a couple of extra long bucking spikes/dawgs and make it totally useless but well pimped up . 😀
  2. This all day long and twice on Sunday .
  3. I have heard some people stand the cut face down on a permanently damp surface .
  4. Andrew Shavey gets them sometimes . Waste of time on a small saw like a 562 IMHO . Mybe useful on your 660 if you don't want to walk round the other side . Got one on my 395XP but would not want on on a 562 . Just me .
  5. As Spud says there is an old Inca trick to tensioning . Get it approximately tensioned , do the bar nuts up by hand . Hold the saw by the back handle and drop the bar tip onto a log . This ensures the bar is pushed up as far as it will go . then adjust the final tensioning . If you do it with the bar tip down as soon as you lean on the saw in the cut the bar will move up fractionally , enough to slacken the chain . Forgive me if you already got this . It was just a thought .
  6. Brilliant !
  7. Bar and chain on .
  8. Mystery solved ! I had one of those back in about 1807 but it was yellow . No A.V. I seem to remember . Hope you are keeping well Andrew .
  9. Bleeding canker ?
  10. Its in decline I would say but that can take years to complete .
  11. That you know of ...
  12. No . Go OEM if you want to do that but , Brick acid or similar can remove aluminum transfer quite easily and followed by a light hone can sometimes bring a cylinder back into action . A quality AM piston and Caber rings and jobs a goodun . Spud will be along to confirm if I am talking bollox or not 🙂 @spudulike
  13. You may or may not have heard that there is a war going on in somewhere Russerish but , we here on ITV Meridion in the south are looking at " does sitting in your favorite comfy chair really rest your old legs .
  14. I love you Mick 😁👍
  15. If its Andrew shavey then its probably a Dolmar . Could be an Echo as its that shade of red .
  16. There is a thread on here " Turkey Oak whats it good for " that describes the problems you are having . ...
  17. Surely that should be " Is one looking for staff in Windsor Area " 🙂
  18. Yep I was around then and remember it happening . 👍
  19. Cylinder may be saveable if its just aluminum transfer .
  20. Filled up my pickup at the local village filling station/CoOp shop and it was £87 . last time it was £103 so its come down a bit . Sorry I never look at the price/ltr .

  22. Get one out of the toilet after breakfast . That should do .
  23. This wood seasoning thing is just common sense really . Longer the better , keep dry , wind, and some sun if possible . At the end of the day if you are cold you godda burn what you got .
  24. And if they do happen to call you you can now ignore them also . Fcuking bandits .
  25. Result . 👍 Customers seeing sense .
