  1. I like watching stuff like that, better than telly. I thought the A frame was a bit wasted and at the end the tree hung on to the bitter end so it was superfluous. Standing on the roof with the big saw using it overhead was different

    Upgrade help

    I still like mine after all these years. I don't know what the problem is with people who call them.
  3. I thought they were Muller rice adverts
  4. What's warm start ? There's choke, fast idle, run and stop on the control lever on my Stihls. Squeeze the trigger and push the lever all the way down for choke, when it coughs pull the lever up one notch with the trigger still locked to start on fast idle. Let it run for a few seconds then trigger it to knock fast idle off and it's in the run position and the next up is the stop. Push it back down one to start again or go back to the fast idle if it's not warm enough to start. Get it warmed up then try speeding the tickover up then turn the H&L screws in until they seat gently and back out 1 turn (it might be marked on the plastic around the holes)
  5. I use a funnel like that which came with my first saw and I've never seen any debris in it from Aspen, that sounds odd has anyone else found it in theirs ?
  6. Is this some kind of coded communication, cloak and dagger stuff. MI5 have been notified. Switch to the secure channel if it is.
  7. There's a couple there I haven't done yet
  8. We have our milk delivered in glass bottles and the milkman collects them and leaves us another full one, controversial I know but it's how we like to do things.
  9. It ought to be sold like petrol where you can take your can and have it filled. It bugs me that the containers are not recycled in this way. I hate wasting something useful.
  10. I haven't had Pfanners but I have had lots of builders gloves and the rubber peels off the cheap ones in short order. The best ones I've had didn't have a maker name but they were reinforced in the joint between the thumb and forefinger where the cheap ones always wear first. The ones I have at present are grey cut resistant Gripz ones and have been good for a freebie from a friend.
  11. Locations don't show under avatars any more, is this optional ? Just the county would be a plus to give a clue where someone is selling or needs something.
  12. Wasted on 4" wood then, I asked about chain speed not power Bill.
  13. What's the chain speed like on them. The cut looks like it was done by a beaver.
  14. They could have mowed it first, that would have made it worthwhile.
  15. I saw that on gumtree, buyer collects.
  16. She was going to throw it in the canal but I said Waitrose, stick it in a tree.
  17. And it's posted in the "Rate my hinge" thread Look at the top of the page

    Stihl 017 mix?

    50:1 with decent oil.
  19. A friend of mine has a Jasic 200 amp multi process welder and it works well as a mig and as an arc welder. Not tried as a tig as no argon available but don't need that function really.
  20. It takes dedication to get a shopping trolley that far up a tree.
  21. Anything I can scrounge that I can get to use my saw on. Sycamore and birch but not poplar or goat willow if I can help it.

    Jokes???

    I nearly got caught shoplifting kitchen utensils, I can't stop though I'm a compulsive whisk taker. I know it's bad to be racist but I just hate marathon runners.
  23. Yes but did it survive the fall into the nearby bush ?
  24. Is the impulse line connected and intact ?
