If everybody posted daily reporting that their saw didn't break down today the forum would be very busy though

I'm officially fed up of hearing how the echo chainsaw is going to save the planet and make my sex life better while curing all known illnesses and now know how foolish I was to buy a husqvarna and a Stihl and I am going to go for counseling to help me get over my angst. Please stop rubbing it in and let me keep using them till they break down irreparably even though I have had no problems so far I am unable to use them without a feeling of doom and gloom.

Chainsaw on the end of a pole What are the rakers like on your chain ?
-
Brace and bit are not hard work but they are slow, probably even slower in wet wood with a spade bit which is what I used with them. I'd rather wait 15 minutes for the rechargeable to top up nowadays. Pick up an old cordless and convert it to run off your car or a jump battery.

I have had a little Kemppi inverter mig for a few years now and it's a brilliant machine. I welded a mower deck the other day and the metal was about 0.6mm thick, it did it no trouble without blowing holes all over the place. The multi function machines are getting more popular now with scratch or lift tig and stick being handy add ons.

I've only used 4043 or 5356 tig wire for aluminium and never anything exotic. 6013 is aviation grade material from what I can see on Google so it's never going to affect me.

Blindstickinsect has a chart on his eBay listings which I find handy.

I've been welding 40+ years and never heard that before, post us a link will you Mig welding you only go uphill on thicker than 5mm in my experience, not very often I weld that thick any more. Tig and mig mild steel wire are 70S-2 or 70S-6 usually or A15 tig wire. Downhill stick causes problems because the slag runs into the weld.

If you say his name three times he is bound by mystic law to appear, a bit like Rumpelstiltskin or Beetlejuice. I think you are just waiting for it to happen and are disappointed he has kept away. More credit to him than you

It looks like the Aarrow Ecoburn, they are quality stoves not cheap. Just close the griddle to burn wood and open it up if you switch to coal or coke.

I set my wife on looking and she keeps ending up in the car park next to a big yellow chipper

If you can close the bottom plate you can burn wood on it. The bottom air slide is for burning coal or solid fuel with the bottom plate open so it would appear to be aa multi fuel stove.

How big is he ? You lead the way egg

I took Voltarol for my shoulder and it upset my stomach. The doctor prescribed me Ibuprofen and after a couple of weeks that did the same so I went back to putting up with the pain as the squits is no fun at all.

Wayne and Waynetta name their little girl after you. Spudulika Slob.

I have one badged as LTS or something from ebay as it was the only top handle I could buy not having any tickets (plus it was cheap). Apart from the tickover thing it has been ok but it doesn't get much use so that could be why it doesn't have the other problems.
-
My theory is a rivet will spread out at the back and seal both sides if a long enough one is is used.
-
The rivet centre is sealed, an ordinary rivet would do it with the added seal of the chemical metal I suppose as long as the ball stays in the stem. On the Avdel site the ones called structural seal the stem with the ball
-
If it's the external part that broke you could weld it back together with a sleeve over the join.
-
How big is the hole ? Drill it round and put some chemical metal in the hole then a blind pop rivet while it's still setting.
-
Certainly not old chap, pass the caviar and quails eggs and top up my Bolly would you

A friend of mine ran a shop on eBay and had some real tales of woe and crap to tell. He always sent by courier with signed for delivery but people still claimed not to have received items even when they had signed and they got their money back from Paypal and he had to prove they were lying.

Set a trainee on with a saw cutting anything over 4" for firewood instead of chipping it. I cut and season it for our stove whenever I can get hold of it as it's a lot easier to load in than big split chunks. -
Still not a good excuse though is it Mark ?
