They used the stolen wire core flip line from the last blag to tow out an obstructing trailer . Pikey scum more like . -
A little and often is my thinking . When he is very young his attention span is very short . If you over do it he will get board and forget all that went before . A small treat when its done and try to finish on a high . I kept mine on a lead ( extending type ) for the first 8 or 10 months , or until he will come back on the whistle . Also you can train him to return on the whistle off the lead in any kind of natural or man made " corridor " so there is no chance of him veering of with a distraction . You probably know all this anyway ........

He is a cracker . I have had 8 working cockers and 1 sprocker ( in my avatar ) . I would be worried about that tail if he is going to work in any bramble and rough undergrowth . I have seen tails a bloody mess on un docked workers . Good luck and happy birthday bud !
-
Oh . Ok . Not offended . Was just curious bud . ?
-
That's good then . Out of curiosity why did you call mine a fart or a splash ?
-
Nasty business .
-
To be fair yes , I am retired ( and possibly retarded ) so they don't do a lot nowadays but , they earned their corn when I was grafting . Is your 395 a " fart " or a " splash " ? ? I don't cut cookies .

Walker Saw Shop 395 . Folowed by Spud ported 372 and 390 .

You would not starve , just die of boredom .

I doubt Steve could get the pages apart after you have used them ?

You know when the washing machine starts a spin cycle , it gets to about half revs and is wobbling and banging about coz the drum is out of balance , then the revs increase and everything smooths out . I think its kinda like that with a well maintained ported saw . It does not have to work so hard to get to max revs ( not above spec as Spud has pointed out ) so seems smoother .
-
My take is this . All people like Spud are doing is maximizing the design intent . If production tolerances and manufacturing costs were of no importance then I recon all saws would come out of the factory " ported " . They are not dangerous . They just work more efficiently .
-
That's why you don't see them very often Andrew ! ?
-
Exactly .
-
My 346 feels as though it has less vibes than a stock one . Have you used a ported saw ?
-
Go on !?
-
I would say less vibes . Running faster, smoother , Out of that lumpy frequency range .
-
And more efficient use of fuel , More productive , more reliable , cut faster so IMHO safer . ( Chasing that hinge etc etc )
