Fab:thumbup1:. springer heads are not easy to carve. they are alot mor boxy than you would think. but you can still tell what kind of dog it is by the ears. i really like it. i also love springers. i have had two of them. both were called Bruce.

UPDATE ON MY 201. i have used it a few times now and love it. it is very light and has far more punch than the 192 with very little kick when you rev it. the only down side to it is that my hands are a little further appart than i would like but i will get used to that.

had a go at doing some thing a bit different to my usual stuff today. was a bit harder than i thought it would be. think i need to have another go on a bigger stick for it to work better.

im a forces kid. was dragged from one hell hole to another and spent three years in the dump that is Dortmund. my old man ran the jungle school in Belize for a couple of years but i never got to go out there. i was enroled in the TA on my 17 birthday some what against my will. i put up with it for about six months before i got my lip peirced and a big green mohican. they didnt want to keep me after that. -
my first house was wooden. it wasnt a log cabin but a timber frame and clad in wood. just a big fancy shed really. my parents own 35 acres of wood so it cost next to nothing to build. I lived in it for about 4 years then my now wife moved in and then our daughter came along. it was only when my wife was pregnant for the second time that we decided it was time to move into a proper house. but it is still standing. my parent use it for visitors. its been up about 8 years now.

you cant blame your kids for making you soft. my six year old daughter is pestering me for a shot gun cus she is fed up of having to work my ferrets whilst i shoot. so if any body is selling a very small built break action 410... PM me the details.

i ran my own widlife management company for 8 years and found the best way to sort grays was with the 12 bore and some heavy cartrages same goes for rookeries. and as for falling kittens. a terrier makes short work of them.: or even 2gunsfiring_v1:
-
very nice:thumbup1: i like the detail in the face.

we need a reason why your saw nomination is the best.

its still too new to have built its self a reputation. however i do like my 201 back handle.

I love my silky but i love the scream of a 2 stroke engine more

I have had a look back through alot of posts and cant find this debate any where so im going to ask the big question. what is the best saw ever made and why. My vote is for the Stihl 200T.
