    Anyone?

    Sold out and no indexation that they'll have any more.
  2. I read somewhere, that the original pilings that Venice sit on are of Alder. Good for jetty and pier building too.

    CAT Equipment

    Anyone try some like this: [ame] [/ame]
  4. Meindl Woodwalker for me too. The fitting is small though. Be prepared to only wear thin socks or go up a size if you want to wear socks with any form of padding.
  5. Nope. Got it off the specs. as stated on the Stihl UK website: http://www.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Products/Chainsaws-and-Telescopic-Pole-Pruners/Petrol-chainsaws-for-forestry/22284-130/MS-661-C-M.aspx
  6. You'll only be using it occasionally, so maybe you'll not be too bothered by the level of vibration. But bear in mind those vibs: 880 L6.9 R5.6 661 L8.9 R8.9
  7. If you intend doing any milling in future, get the 880. If it's never going to mill, get the 661 - less initial cost, (as you say £150) less weight, lower running costs. And still plenty of power for most job. What the 880 does have in its side, is tried a test reliability, with not much to go wrong.
  8. Same size near as damn it, (3/16" = 4.76mm).
  9. 365 is a nice saw, tried and tested design. Not too heavy, well balanced & dependable. You get a lot of saw for the money. Or the 560 if you want sparkle.
  10. At the moment, Toyota aren't listing the model as being available in the UK for 2016 but perhaps 2017.
  11. Hadn't though of before now. But do you know anyone with a glue gun? The glue sticks are cheap and pretty hard when set. Just run a few lengthway ridges along the bottom, (leaving the full harden before use).
  12. Similar to Husqvarna but at a bargain price. Good reliable saws... and they're orange.
  13. No but you could try a layer of: • fibreglass_ tough and easy to apply • Araldite_ maybe a bit heavier and doesn't hold well to vibration • Silicone mastic_ thickish layer but not light Expanding foam_ fill dust ill half full with fresh foam and immerse whole chainsaw in a leave to cure. Won't be able to use the saw again but if you drop it, it may well just bounce around.
  14. 15..02.16: White Navara on false reg plates DA53 JUH, (later dumped) used to help steal silver Discovery, (real reg plate Y38 KRJ) and an unspecified chainsaw. Reg plates seen on Discovery were later changed to W719 LNJ and Y712 FFC, (also probably stolen). And then seen in Rauceby (SLEAFORD) to help steal a white Transit van with reflective stickers on the back. Either the Discovery and or the Transit were then seen between Metheringham and Billinghay at Martin Moor with the reg plate W719 LNJ a day or so later. Somewhere along the line, other equipment was taken including a mig welder. All thefts and sightings have been reported to police.

    Still room on the tailgate.
  16. Try this:
  17. I've seen a few birch live quite a while longer. But in the main, 20-30 is right. Has a s hallow root plate and susceptible to being knocked over in high winds. Splits easy and quick to burn on fire; as the poem says, "Burns up fast but doesn't last."
  18. Chilly but dry.
  19. How about these: And the wetter conditions get, the more apt the style becomes. Plus they'll do for a nip to the pub after work.
  20. Hope.
  21. Today fine and sunny... so far.
  22. Sussex
  23. Zubat 330
  24. Redburn
  25. Bit of everything today. Started windy but dry. Then the sun came out for a few hours and it mild. Followed by cloud cover, then rain, hail, snow and back to rain. Felltops are still while though.
