  1. Put some volts into the stock fence and barbed wire .
  2. Good morning geezers .🙂 5c and no rain so far !
  3. Morning Bob , morning all . Hope you all have a good day .
  4. That is/will be a corker of a saw if he works his magic on it . I have one ported by him 👍
  5. Morning all . 5c and torrential rain in intervals .
  6. I would have , and have burned Leylandii in the past and think it is really good fire wood . The secret I think is not to season it for more than a year . ( down here in the south anyway ) Once it becomes " feather light " you have lost the spunk out of it and it will burn the way you describe . One summer and its good stuff .
  7. All the horses we have owned have had a " passport " .
  8. I think that back in the day the difference was that Stihl were slower revving saws but produced more torque so you could " lean " on them more and Husqvarnas were more revvy and fast . Today however I think that they have both been moving more toward each other becoming similar in their characteristics .
  9. Reminds me of that program that used to be BBC radio called The Navy Lark .....Left hand down a bit ...
  10. Morning Pete , morning all . We got 8c at the moment and no rain ...yet .
  11. I think the 592 would be up to the task . I have an older 395 that runs a 36" .404 full skip ok . ( ported by Crocky by the way )
  12. Morning troops . Mucking Funday again ! 🙂
  13. I have found " Save Edge " to be the best at removing material if you have had a pile up on flint or metal . Then finish of with stroke with an Oregon or Valorb or whatever .
  14. Well go and buy one FFS . You don't need our permission .
  15. It will turn both ways but will only push oil out going forward . For sharpening it does not matter one way nor the other .
  16. I do the same only pull it forward into a comfy position . It doesn't matter a fcuk .
  17. I do the same but the above still applies .
  18. If you want a 45/50cc pro saw its got to be a Husqvarna 550 MK2 .
  19. Wow , Sorry Egger . Was it a " dinner fork " fracture ? I have had broken wrists on a few occasions , at one time I remember having both wrists in plaster and grinding some of it away so that I could reach and work the clutch and front brake 🙂 Mend up buddy .
  20. And that's a yes from me ! 🙂
  21. I hope it does . I would not buy one . The feckers catch fire ! You also have to factor in the cost of the mining of the lithium , dragging it a cross the ocean in a hurking great ship then , later on the disposal of the dud batteries .
  22. Any way , a recent study has concluded that electric vehicle now pollute considerably more than the equivalent petrol powered vehicle . Because they weigh more their tiers and brakes wear out quicker releasing higher toxic particles than those that come out of a petrol engine tail pipe . I still think Hydrogen is the way forward . I believe Toyota have produced an engine that runs on liquid hydrogen in the same way a petrol engine does in as much as you just fill the tank like you would petrol and of course the only thing that comes out of the exhaust is H2O .
  23. Priceless Doug . 😄 Wish I had come up with that bud .
  24. Measured 9.75 on the Oxometer . 🙂
