I love the smell of optimism in the morning. You'll be cutting it up with the best of the rest soon enough.

6" (15cm for the youngsters) and increasing. View from my mother's house. I'm off salmon fishing later. Apparently the salmon tins can get further inland when it's snowing.

Tomorrow the spare room... tonight the shed.

Having broken ribs isn't all it's cracked up to be. It only hurts when you breath in and breath out. There's little or no pain between these two.

When you see sparks, it's usually buried stones or metal. Give the wood a brush off around the intended cut or at least give it a scrape with a scrap piece of wood/felling wedge. All you need is accumulated gritty soil or a nail/wire or stone and you've got sparks and a blunt chain. If you know you'll be cutting a lot of grubby stuff, try semi instead of full chisel. But as has been said before, a blunt chain is a blunt chain.

Brush off wood before bringing into house, gets rid of most beasties. I suspect wood/bark boring beetles. Before brushing, check for loose bark and peel away. If the blighters are evident, knock the piece on a wall or step, that'll get rid of most of them.

Build it mostly of the splits logs bark down. Use longer pieces for domed top, bark up side up. When it's seasoned and it mostly will be at near enough the same time. Remove the uppermost layer of longer pieces and set aside. Take what you then need of shorter firewood, then reconstruct a domed top from the longer pieces, bark side up.

Cons: And if like so many other manufacturers of various powertools, they change the shape of the battery or change the battery-housing in future tools or change the voltage, (I'd say every 2-3yrs). Then you're stuffed!

They will, they always do. Some years back at a previous abode, I had a couple of oak cord. Passerbys on the bridleway, would open the gate, walk through the garden and help themselves to split firewood, so they could have an illegal campfire on a nearby National Trust campsite. I eventually put a terse sign pointing out the error of their ways and it ceased for a few month. Then one afternoon, some scroats came by and stole 2cu m of seasoned ash-birch. They even took the charred remains of the previous night's BBQ. Must have had van or trailer and my neighbours were all in work.

Talked a couple of elderly owners out of having some trees removed, after a cowboy builder had persuaded them that the trees were dead. When I confronted said builder, he said he was only going to cut them down, (and be paid for it) because they were dead. I asked him why he thought they were dead. His reply, "They've got no leaves on them." The conversation took place in the middle of winter about broad leaf trees. I'm not convinced he had functioning brain cells numbering in double digits. He did however have the gene markers identified for greed & underhand dealing..

Did a test send and had a browse; and it does seem quicker. Mind, it is 02:30.

He likes Husky.

Cherry makes lovely deep water canoe paddles. Ottertail and beavertail; just enough flex to prevent muscle strain when touring. My favourite is a 58" ottertail, 1 1/8" and approx. 6" wide. Have a look for British paddle makers and ask them what they need. Handmade paddle go from £150 to maybe £280 each. Blanks won't be worth that much but a starting blank needs only be 1.25 to 1.5" thick.
-
Oregon make plenty of full chisel, which can be run on Husky and others. More to do with whether you're cutting mainly soft or hardwood. Then again, I mainly deal with hardwood but hardly ever use semi-chisel.

Nice saws - but are you trying to get a rise from Stubby?

Just thought I'd share this photo taken of a guy in shakopee MN.

I reckon there's real ingenuity at work there. It takes a definite, 'we'll get the job done, even if it takes more than one ladder' approach. -
Cutting Fallen trees from public footpaths?
TGB replied to chuck norris's topic in Trees and the Law
If you're working in the wood/coppice/forest, then I don't see a problem. If you happen to be walking through, find a tree blocking the way and think, "Hmm. I'll pop back with a chainsaw and move that." Then there may be a slight problem. -
