  1. That's one thing the blacksmith where I used to work told us never to do as they shrink even more when they dry out. Wooden wedge and a metal cross wedge was all he used and our hammer heads never came off. (We did break the shafts but that was not his fault)
  2. I heard you put the wallpaper up with drawing pins in case you move house 😜
  3. It'll recover in my experience. I tried to kill one off for years before I eventually gave up and cut it off at the base, it still put suckers up from the roots into the lawn 6 feet away.
  4. What, that you are right handed ?🤪
  5. Get some thinner oil for the winter, put a drop of petrol in with yours to thin it and see if it comes through then. Drop sopme food colouring in it and see if it colours the bar at all.
  6. As long as you sharpen up to the top and not down into the gullet you should be fine.
  7. Black smoke is usually excess fuel or probably something built up in the exhaust.
  8. MS 200 back handles used to be the wanted saw for carvers and always fetched good money, has it changed ?
  9. I've still got some left from the last lot I bought, I even got some bubbles left in the snake oil.
  10. But then the scabbard could be a sheath. I'm getting confused, it doesn't take much these days.
  11. It's the opposite way round at our local petrol station.
  12. 545 would be the obvious replacement but it's not really an upgrade. What do you want, a bigger saw or just newer ?

    Aspen 40:1 mix

    I worked on a council gardening team and we used to mix with straight 30 grade and give it a good shake before you top up.

    I'd dispute this until I saw it with my own eyes, all I've found with over oiling is they make more smoke. You keep doing what you are doing and I'll stick with mine. ? Ask the pros on here if they spend more than they need to, someone who has actually worn a saw out not us weekend warriors.

    Aspen 40:1 mix

    We used to use JLO 2 stroke mowers that would run on just about anything you put in them as long as it was oil and petrol and they started no trouble and just kept going. They beat Flymo hands down. I run a couple of saws that say 25:1 on Aspen 2 and they are working fine with it so why add any more ?
  16. I blame global warming ?
  17. Threebond does it, or Hermetite red
  18. It's the way to enlightenment grasshopper
  19. If a big bar pinches in the cut you will be stuck, if the trunk is going to roll on top of one, one is the wrong side of it.
  20. It is very clean though, not like my MS 460.
  21. Round here they are Oss flies Nasty things, one poisoned my thumb a few years back and it's only just recovered.
  22. Plasmas only work on conductive material (metal) and need an earth connection.

    Husqvarna 592 xp

    Not seen any taken with a turnip with the flash attachment yet either so the potato photato is the best option so far.
  24. I hope you mean "for" the women you work with ?
  25. FR Jones says not in stock at the moment.
