Dont you clean your saw after using it even if its just a quick wipe over or blow off with the air line

Hi the matey that I take my saws to suggested that I buy a small scrubbing brush and keep it with my combi can as I was always getting my carb rebuilt espically on my carving saw so I did and havent had any probs since just a quick brush before re filling it was the best 2 quid spent in a while
-
Hi that was a lucky find so cool dont you just love it when things like that happen
-
Sadly covid is killing my buisness as most of our sales,commissions came from country fairs ,shows etc doing chainsaw carving demos so no events no sales we have been lucky and had those 2 big tables we posted pics of but now thats it order book is empty ,hopefully we will do some timber sales when my new mill is built up ,but need some work coming in to pay rent on the yard ,advertising timber sales etc etc
-
Thanks guys
-
Um I do need to order some rippers but I think that the tension is made easier on the new models like you said it did my head in on my old hm130 so hopefully I will be ok

Hurray having given our mate a good send off yesterday I now have a free few days to build up my new mill it seems like am age since it arrived not sure how I am going to manage as the saw head is sooo heavy but I am sure I will really quite excited and I have a butt of brown oak to go first I think ,I am thinking about going for a bounce back loan to get a forklift and a truck/lorry if I can ,I will keep you all posted Cheers Mark

Hi Rob you used to do a chainsaw milling day as I did one with you not long after I bought my alaskan if I remember right it bloody snowed and you did cover all the basics even using the 12v sharpner but hey that was like yrs ago -
The first thing wrong in my eyes is why cut 4ft up and a 30ft tall tree could be a massive fail for a novice I had a standing dead field maple about that big on thursday all the top branches were the wrong side didnt have a felling bar got my gob cut slightly wrong as I am out of practice and it almost sat back on me and I have been felling trees for yrs just goes to show I was in woodland and had my excape routes sused so no probs it went over in the end with a big shove but it could have come back and chased me so thats all it can go so wrong so quick there are photos all over the net of horrific arb fails it just aint worth it get somebody in to at least help

GET somebody who knows what they are doing things can go so wrong so quickly its mad ,watching vids is no training what part of the country are you in I am sure one of the guys on hear would pop round and help for some beer tokens
-

So when I broke and dislocated my ankle I looked into all sorts of supports and there was one that I cant remember what it was called but it was like an exo skeleton that could be worn in a normal boot ,sports injury sites are the best places to look ,try an exersise ball when you are sat down at night to build the muscle
-
The same 2/3 inch if you have a fair bit why not mill some 4 inch for table legs ,elm is ace
-
Just get the biggest saw you can an 880 if you can that way you will not come across that nice big butt and not have the saw to deal with it
-
Hi everyone ,thanks for your thoughts I did put the boards by the woodburner to try and dry them enough to put the orbital sander on them .
-
As it getts colder chainsaw trousers could come in handy to keep you warm but if you havent been told you need them I wouldnt worry
-
Um no not painting the undertaker needs the finished thing for tuesday lunch time I have trim to hide all the joins so I dont need to be that accurate just screw and glue as long as it looks ace its getting burnt in the end ,hopefully the furrow zombies didnt visit in the night
-
Hi no not seasoned but still odd like I said never seen a board do that and now more of them have gone like it,will defo keep an eye on the zombies
