I have one of these   http://www.forest-master.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=32&virtuemart_category_id=2&Itemid=125

Does a good job, more than happy with it

    Jim I have one of these, I think it's a great bit of kit, well built, It will split knotty wood.

Had it a few years now, not had any problems, will split knotty wood, but like anything there are limits to what it will cope with

Usually do about 8 plus cube a year

Never come across Lime, so couldn't say yea or nay on it.

Have you watched this?

Thanks Stubby, (I think? )

Question

As you know I'm not an Arborist, just a home firewood logger

I have 2 Chainsaws, a Dolmar 14" petrol and a Titan 14" Electric

Both have Oregon 3/8th chains, is there any other info I need to know?

Now I would like to "freshen" up the edge, and have come across the Stihl 2 in 1 sharpener. looks both quick, and efficient, and most importantly, fool proof

Can I use it on these chains, or are Stihl and Oregon chains set differently.

Or if they are set differently, and I use the sharpener, would it have a good or adverse effect on the saws

Pity your so far away Ian, I would come and pick up a few loads

Steve the honey will take a few weeks to start working

Do you live far from the sea?

If it's not too far I would get to the beach in the evening for a walk (or a fishing session ) and get some sea air in your lungs, and less pollen there, will help with the hayfever

I suffered both Asthma and Hay fever from Childhood, the tablets the Doc gave me as a kid never helped, and the Hay fever made the Asthma really bad. (and my Dr wouldn't let me have an inhaler, said I would get addicted to it, I got one when I moved to Devon, because the tablets I was taking for Asthma were said to be "harmful" )

As a kid, and growing up, the more time I spent by and in the sea, the better I felt.

I was still not good with the Hay fever 6 or 7 years ago, Asthma was diminishing, feels like it's gone now, 5 or 6 years ago

And I haven't suffered Hay fever for at least 3 years

The tablets are far better these days, I use Loratadine, PLUS for the last 3 years I've taken a teaspoon of local honey every day starting in early March

I used to have a Ford Galaxy, would carry a sizable quantity of logs (if stacked ) in the boot area, and only up to the bottom of the windows, 3 loads would fill one of my log stores 1.75m3 and some left over

MPG was good too.

Mine was sluggish though as it was only the 1.9TD version

How about this one

Toyota Hilux 2.5 D-4D HL2 4dr

Drove past it the other day, not in too bad a nick

how do I change the link in my post?

Hammdoggs one works

Well after I watched this video, [ame]

All I can say is, it's brilliant, even my Mrs enjoys splitting logs with it

I hate swinging an axe, mainly cos I'm carp at it,

Pleasure …feedback please as and when

Will do, probably wont be till at least April/May, flat out with work till the end of March

Husqvarna 135 or look at the Echo range for saws around the 40cc range. Forest and Arb would be good website for you to look at.

Definitely. Can be got for around £200 online. I have one for small veg clearance jobs where I don't want to carry a 357 all day and it copes well.

Thank you

Might be a good idea to take a look at a 135 as well as the 236…

Thank you

Yes, adequate but it won't be fast.

Thanks Felix

Fast isn't an issue

Is there a better one, but still cheap? that ones £136 on the Bay

Advice needed from the Pro's please gentlemen

As above

Would this be capable of cutting logs on a log stand at home, will be hardwood, size wise diameter, max 10" to 12"

Build it as high as you can, so you don't have to stoop or bang your head! And fit a gutter

good idea

Did you get away without having your hand/arm in plaster?

Ooouch, that smarts, odds on thats you with your hand and forearm in plaster for the next month

As they say been there got the T shirt, mine was just a partially severed tendon in my thumb, like you hurrying

Wish you a speedy recovery mate.

Nothing to do with me.

Seen this, thought I'd put it up for comment, I reckon it's been shaped after it's been felled, good seat though
