My wife has 15 yrs horticulture experience + and specialist nursery work and in depth knowledge of what she does, and has just completed a 5 yr degree. Around these parts its £20ph for gardening work etc. for a non skilled mum charging the same seems a bit way off if you ask me. I wouldn't expect to pay over £10ph

+2 bought one to tune the 090 & 070
-
What purpose are those "bow" bars then?
-
Personally, work bench materials I wouldn't bother milling timber in. As noted above nothing some £7 fence posts wouldn't cure and some decking boards
-
Paul? I know he got burnt on a chipper in Scotland with a similar scam
-

Yes indeed. I did edit my post, but link not there for some reason!

The spalted holly I have is fantastic, amazing colour and stable. The only split was from the centre board. I did post pictures a few years back will see if I can find them

1 M3 of green Oak weighs around 900kg

I am guessing it will be the newer 47" solid nose that I have, and does not have the older design symbol etched in. Handling a 60" is a bit different to a smaller one, if that's all you are used to using. What is your intended purpose for the saw? Milling I presume of course, I would suggest using a smaller saw first, if your experience is limited with milling with saws?
-
I mill on a solid, because its what I got. Though in time will replace with a sprocket. Helper handles are still available. 1\2" chain is only good for a boat anchor these days, change sprocket (spur?) To .404 and be good to go. As I did, change carb kit and fuel lines, mine now runs on aspen My saw in use
-
My saw was a non runner, all I changed was carb set. Regardless of which way you do things, buy it anyway.
-
I've seen the state of your reductions before, now I no why. They where all Pollard's!
-
In twenty years never had a problem. As stated before, there would be a lot of buggered saws if that was a major fault of running out of fuel. As they say, use it like you stole it!!
-
Ouch!!

Our local sawmill used to sell them as cords as above, 4 yrs ago for £15 a go. Now you won't get them for less than £45. Easy money -
Have a block of SC suitable for rails post etc. Land lord wants to know what the going rate is standing timber? Needing to get a few prices for him, thx
-
I would like a few extra supports in that to stop it flexing or twisting. How true is it?
-
I use .404 on the 090/070, 3\8 on the 056 & 064
-
