  1. Nothing wrong with a bit of lopping and topping !
  2. If I have a lot of logging to do, will put my 16" bar on then chips fly quite well!
  3. What happens to the 2 1\2 times guide bar rule? Surely a GB 64" bar would do the job with bit of buttressing?
  4. Love my 064. Always fitted with 36" bar and I will happily ring down oak or ash hanging from my harness and full bar too.. Will be a sad day when she goes!
  5. in my day, it was first come and all that, sorry you seemed to of missed out there.......... money makes the world go around i guess
  6. 400+ wet n dry is what I used on a varnished Yew seat.it will dull whatever. As suggested a wiping varnish to finish
  7. Yes it can be. Looks like maybe spalted possibly, but general term I believe is "flamed" ash and noted by the pattern internally found when milled
  8. Looking at the bark fissures, just a hint of yellow on inner edge suggests Ash to me as does the growth rings being to open for Oak.
  9. Hi Joe, Don't suppose you got a chain adjusting screw and nipple? Thanks Simon
  10. I am at home, week off. Lot of country pursuits to enjoy and training before competitions end of Nov and early Dec
  11. I hired one off a friend. Until some local known scrote nicked it bout 6 yrs ago.
  12. have some biggish yew boards, waney edge and cherry too. barn dried for couple of years now. not sure of dimensions. let me know if interested will measure up.
  13. Dust extracted? We use cattle grade shavings in our kennels, even still a fair amount of dust is produced when broken under foot. Therefore carefully think of its intended use as lung issues could arise as saw dust is even finer still
  14. I used to run my caterham seven supersport on 97 octane and there was a significant difference in performance. On longer journeys I would use half 95 half 97 and the same performance was noted. It worked out cheaper too! However on track days I would only run 97, just to be sure I was getting optimal performance. Can't afford to run expensive stuff in saws though!!!!
  15. Vehicle head lights
  16. That's got me thinking rob. 090 & 070 combo. Ideal!!!
  17. Bit like the new boxed German 070 on there!!!!!
  18. Yes great work, that was posted sometime ago now, but worth seeing again!!
  19. Looks rotten in the butt end?
  20. If its screeching it will be a little owl. If its twit twooing a pair of tawny owls. Barn owls you are very unlikely to hear. Gr8 carving.
  21. How are these transfered on to the wood then? I guess your not putting them thru your pixma printer!!!
  22. You live n learn
  23. Chain too slack lookin at that. Will give you a ring mark in the near future, may even be this week
  24. Looks like you could do with a bigger mill
  25. i hate those torx bolts on the timberwolf. changing the outer blade is never an issue as you can get a good angle and pressure on them, however the inner blade is a PITA as your struggling with the angle especially on the bolt nearest the housing. even with the torx holes picked out cleanly and copper slip used every time they are still a PAIN!!!!
