Cherry all day long and twice on Sunday 🙂

If you want to go all Green and that , dried birch bark is a goodun .
-
Its paraffin wax and burns off . No " waxy " residue left . The cheap ones in the CoOp work fine .
-
Galvanized bucket .

That is spooky Mick . We were taking 20 feet or so off the poplars right at the end near the lock gates . Got to know some of the people there too .

Oh yes , a climber I used to work for would bin an 020 chain when dull as ( in his words ) the time out taken sharpening out weighed the loss of earnings on the job ! He was shit at sharpening though !

Chainsaw trousers for a lady!

I have tried various makes over the years including the early Husqvarna blue ones that were basically a couple of sleeping bags on each leg . Apart from an Australian pair ( Cloggers ? ) which aren't CE marked I always come back to Pfanners . -
I think I will stick to the appropriate round file and a flat file for the rakers . Thanks though 🙂

Pfanner for strides and anything that is comfortable in boots but NOT " chainsaw wellies" Instruments of torture . -
Its more the fact that they don't have proper wheel bearings , only plain steel bushes .
-
I was binning them every 2 weeks ! 😃 The Oregon plate is best IMHO . What is a Stihl easyfile ?
-
I tried those Husky roller thingys about 20 - 30 years ago . They are fine the first couple of sharpens but the plastic rollers wear down dropping the file too low . If you cant file free hand your best bet I recon is the oregon metal plate that the file clips to .
-
Other way round me thinks . As the cutter becomes narrower and lower ( all sides taper to the back ) you wont get the larger file in the gullet so drop down a tad .
-
Rain again this morning for an hour or so . 7 degrees currently .
-
Yes I remember when Husqvarna brought it out for home owner type saws . Didnt they call it a Pixlel chain ?
-
3 degrees now . I am going to bed . 🙂
-
Yea but " tooless " is pants .
-
4 degrees at the moment but no wind . Stove ticking over . 👍
-
outstanding ! looks better than a bought one !
-
Looks very dry in there .
-
Mine is a wood only stove and has no grate so don't have that problem .
-
I don't think any wood slumbers " cleanly " However I sometimes put a big lump of Oak on last thing at night ( it being relatively slow burning ) and in the morning there are enough embers to get it going quite easily .
-
That's the complete opposite of my experience with poplar . Different species maybe .
-
Yep seen a few vids on here of people doing it .
-
Also if you stack rings one on top of the other they will stick together after getting wet .
