  1. Thought so Gary . I was working near a huge and beautiful Fern leafed Beech and you could just make out the graft . What was interesting was some of the lower limbs had reverted to the parent root stock and were producing regular Beech leaves whilst the rest of the tree had the Fern leaves .
  2. Yea its okish but not nearly funny enough for you bud
  3. My local dealer ( DM Chainsaws ) has a double ended Alaskan with two Makitas on it . He milled all the timbers for his new shop on it I believe .
  4. This is so true . Bright fluorescent yellow soon becomes speckled with black in high summer ! Those little thunder bugs bless 'em
  5. Do you know what root stock it is grafted to out of interest
  6. That's funny . I just tried saying it in a Frank Spencer accent it and it works Jessica . Seriously I have always considered syc to be te least labor intensive wood going . Seasons quickly and splits lemon squeezy

    As long as they don't have the clutch bearings of the pro saw ( made by Cadburys ) should be ok
  8. That would be the comedy clutch bearings sense of humour
  9. Oh yes . Absolutely . Also an irritating bugger to chip when in leaf !
  10. In old London town ? : Sorry . I digress
  11. As said . It might be London Plain . That is harder . Similar leaf .
  12. I see Don has gobbed off again ! " women should be punished for having an abortion "
  13. Sore elbows is one reason I think .
  14. Thought he was going to dull it on the glass .......

    New saw

    Is it a " new old stock " 372XP or is it the new XT ( XTorque ) ? I have an old 372XP that Spud ported for me and its a stonker .
  16. You are talking about the mounting bracket rather than the exhaust can itself ? I have a brand new exhaust can if you need it .
  17. Ok . Sorry . Its just that you mentioned that the Stihls had new chains and maybe thats why they were out cutting the old saws .
  18. No . You are not missing anything . It is as you say a blatant money grabbing exercise .
  19. If its a weak spark might not see it unless you check it in the dark . Usually can see a healthy spark in the natural light in the workshop .
