It's called table tennis if you are serious about it They make bats as well. If they'd had the top handles on ebay earlier I would have got one instead of the Chinese one I bought.

Once our fire is lit it doesn't make smoke and if there is any it goes up the chimney with the draw from the warm air. I rattle the ash into the bottom pan then lift it out and put the box I made over it so it doesn't get in the house. I use a little rechargeable vacuum for the hearth and tip it all on the garden and dig it in.

Is biomass usage sustainable and as green as it is made out to be?

Are the saws the same apart from the thickness of the con rod little end ? You could try a couple of 1mm washers either side of the little end bearing but it might be fiddly getting them in there.

Husqvarna 435 cylinder/ piston fault or something else?

You want to scrap the old clunker that got stuck, I'd offer to take it off your hands but you're too far away 😷

I don't take my saws to the tip, it's probably nervous 😱 -
I had to strip and clean the carb on a Chinese top handle that had chain oil in the fuel tank. It was like glue in the metering side and it smoked like a goodun for a while after it started but it was fine after it settled down.

I bought some of the Northern Arb 3/16" files and they seem fine for the amount of use I give them.

I have a BSA .177 Cadet that must be 70 years old. It was my dad's and I used to shoot with it when I was a lad, 68 now. I made a new leather piston washer for it a while back and it's still a good gun.
