I don't know why I just haven't been able to get into the build like I normally do maybe it's just not chunky enough

Hi so at the Estate I look after the boss has baught a new saw a Husky 445 nice saw except it keeps throwing the chain off, even like the second time I used it, I did notice the bar has a tiny bend in it if its on the bench flat you can just notice it but after all these years working with saws I don't think it's this that's causing the trouble as always keen to hear your thoughts Thanks Mark

Hi guys so I look after a small Estate a couple of days a week and we just got a brand new husky 445 and the bloody chain keeps coming off any ideas what's causing this issue looked at all the obvious Thanks Mark

Hi not in the workshop today but will take some pics from underneath tomorrow so you can see whats going on ,the customer sent me theses photos that just showed a big table top and legs similar to mine but the people who take theses photos are crafty as they never show the fixing points so you can see how its done then people who dont make things have no idea on the ballache when they give you an image and say Like That please ,but hey so glad you all like it ,and it will defo pop when we put the finish on ,got some water based exterior lacquer from Wood Finishes in Yeovil a 2 part system an impregnator that has a fungicide in it then the lacquer its bloody good stuff and the guys at Wood Finishes are really helpful . Cheers Mark
