Pretty grotty - rain, wind and gusting. Had hoped to be collecting some applewood rounds I cut the other day. So I'm hoping for tomorrow now, unless the log faires have been out. Which would be a bind, as some pieces are big enough to turn.
-
Ah yes, sorry about that. Clicked on a link for 646 and read the blurb on the 636 instead. But the 646 would still be better on a 15". Mind the OP may not be that interested in the fastest cutting combination; so perhaps running an 18" on that saw would be ok.
-
Depends on how much is being split. If it's just personal and as and when you need it, then axe. But if you're selling firewood, then you want the most split in the shortest time for the least overall cost. Sure you could get someone to hand split all your logs. But if you were paying them a fair wage, then I reckon what you'd save on mechanical processing, you'd lose on wages and the time needed to do the job.

Quite blatant I thought but link in post just takes you to the homepage of 'Pogoplug'.

Proe - You say it's your first saw, so do you really need to run a 20" bar. And if you do and are going to be using the 20" on a regular basis. Do yourself a favour and get the 560XP in stead. Much more suited to 20" than on the smaller saw.
-
Just the oil or the fuel too. I presume the latter would have more of a kick.
-
I know you wanted a saw to run a longer bar... but 18" on a 36.3cc engine is hoping some. Rough rule of thumb, divide cc by three, e.g. 36.3 / 3 = 12.1 . I note it can be supplied with a 14" bar for under £270 and a 15" for under £300. Why not save the £30 and get a more efficient cutting combination.

I run my H' 545 on Aspen and generally dodn't notice the smell. But recently got to cut a pallet load of Swedish candles. With the exhaust not dispersing as freely, I got to smell it. And though I didn't feel ill, I would say, breathing in exhaust isn't all it's cracked up to be. And it made my eyes burn. So far as exhaust goes, I sort of miss the smell like fried bacon, that was Castrol in old scramblers & trials bikes.
-
At the end, there's the wording, "Yet another bad bid!" so I guess he lost $s on this one. Only two question remain: 1. Did he lose a lot or a little? But a loss is still a loss. 2. Will he quote on something that awkward again; and if so, how much may he lose on that one?
-
Won a few prizes under £5. But the worst was when I had a new card and imputed the card's new number, when there was £8.10 still in my account. After Camalot had accepted the new card details, my £8.10 had disappeared. Contacted Camalot and they denied all knowledge of stealing my £8.10.

Tis rain as is usual.
-
Must be judging me on a good day.
-
Ah, that last one had a thirst for life. Been raining all day and is still rather soggy.
-
Near enough but not quite. I've only ever heard it and never seen it written.
-
I dare say the minibus version carried a bit less. But we used to squeeze in A & B basketball teams complete with subs and three refs in. Those things are real noisy if you're at the back.

Started off with black pen but found red shows up better. I mark two cutters, one on left and one one right. If it's just a quick touch-up, the two marked cutter will be next to each other. And in this case after the cutters have been sharpened, I'll check the depth gauges, starting at the rear most marked cutter and finishing at the forward most marked cutter. Bit long winded to describe but easier in practice. If you're having problems with low light levels in the workshop. I suggest you get a small LED reading lamp on a bendy stem. Some like this: [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mighty-Bright-Xtraflex-Craft-Silver/dp/B0024HJGA2/ref=pd_sim_light_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=1V8J59FPYA4YJMVAKW1H[/ame]

Apparently he did have two but Chairman Mao only had one. Aside from that, I thought the pronunciation would be a problem. The 'oo' isn't pronounced as the 'ou' in ghoul. But as like the 'u' in Gutenberg.

I'd like to add 'tamping' & 'tamped' to to list. As it's tamping down now = raining big drops and lots of them. The kind of rain that removes the fells from view. If I were driving now, the rain would be sheeting down the windscreen, (windshield) and the wipers would have a hard time of it. Not slang but 'stop-cock'. What do you over 'the pond' (Atlantic Ocean) call the main shut-off point for water into a property?
-
Amendment to below , as some aren't slang but colloquial dialect. These: Slape - Tump - Goot - Burn - Tarn - Fells; and maybe Lass. Funny how things can play on one's mind, even the little things.
-
I'd agree with that. But for my own use of such, it will or would be used for milling. So having already asked the question; it's either the 3120XP or MS880.

Me too but try as I might, I can't get into my eBay account. Never did have much luck with it.
-
Well it's clearing now but for how long I don't know. Last night and earlier, there was quite a bit of rain and a brisk wind. Now there's just a light breeze.

Cragrat = someone who spends the majority of the time climbing the crags/cliffs or rock outcrops Tree rat = grey squirrel
-
Slape = slippery Lass = girl or younger than oneself woman Ta = thank you Now we're cooking with gas = before it was going slow or not working but now it's going well. Tump = hill Big tump = notable rise in the landscape Goolie = back lane, (narrower than a road and seperating the back gardens or yards of two lines of houses) or partially encloed walkway Goot = Queue, line, tail Burn = small to medium size stream Tarn = small body of flatwater, as like a pond Fells = mountains Felltops = same altitude as the summits Place just SE of my birth town has a rail line running through the middle of it. All the posh houses were above the rail and below were the less well off inhabitants. Locally the two ares were known as 'Tinseltown' and 'Spear Chucker Land'.
