  1. It should have a glass roof on that so it's not hidden from outside, it's like art.
  2. The effect a steel blade has on a small tree
  3. Another not so tidy for the willing to have a go type

    Tiny echo!

    He was given a replacement set as a gesture of goodwill even though the warranty had just expired. The manufacturer had fulfilled their obligation by publishing a recall notice. The supplier is not liable as they did not knowingly sell a faulty product.

    Friend of ours had a £1000 tv caught fire and when he complained to the supplier they informed him it had been the subject of a recall for the problem. He didn't see the notice as it was buried on the back pages of selected newspapers and on tbe website which he didn't look at.
  6. Don't think so, the tree's on the floor not the roof and he's still in the picture
  7. I looked at an Alko and it was all metal not plastic but it was the same shape. The Frontier and old Husqvarna 35 were similar as well.
  8. It looks like something from the Ronco or K Tel corporation in the 60s and 70s "as seen on television"
  9. It's a stealth coating for undercover work.
  10. He's in Wales, more chance of causing a flood there I think
  11. They probably already had a family, comments like this and calling people Darwin award candidates are a waste of time and insult your and everyone else's intelligence. Have you never lost a friend or family in an accident. A bit of compassion doesn't cost anything. If you can't think of anything else to say just don't bother.
  12. It looks like it with the bark on. It's not a favourite for stick making and usually I season sticks for about a year before I do anything with them not leave them overnight I use a hot air gun and bend them over my knee to get them straighter and use something with nice bark on so I don't strip them. Hazel, Holly and Rose Briars are my favourite.
  13. Has it got a DPF ? (diesel particulate filter) Might be the exhaust blocked if it needs cycling to clear it out.
  14. I'm not a professional, Birch shows different colours on new growth. I don't know what wood yours is but it could be it's affected by the UV where it was exposed.
  15. Title reminded me of a local car wash run by some east European gentlemen. Their sign says "shinny car wash"
  16. Well the BBC forecast a nice day here and it's hammered it down for most of it so far.

    Which Echo?

    Sorry, I replied to the wrong thread, I was reading the CS390 or 450 one and got sidetracked.

    Which Echo?

    If I was looking for a new saw I would probably pick the Echo CS-361 WES because I just like the look of them.
  19. Buy them all a saw each and tell them to look after it.
  20. Turn the H screw in a bit to weaken the fuel ratio. Don't overdo it or you could run it too weak and lean seize it.
  21. Clean the air filter
  22. I bet whichever he bought it's probably worn out now it was 8 years ago
  23. I agree. Wasn't last winter predicted to be the worst for umpteen years and it never happened. We only had 2 days when it snowed here.
  24. A friend of mine had a few pairs that they wouldn't take back so he cut them up and made a giant wind chime.
  25. If you wear a ground helmet in the tree would you still be allowed to use a top handle saw ?
