  1. I can't help thinking it would have been quicker with a drill Toys are fun though.
  2. Thread about it here I don't do any milling but read about it a bit and you can clamp further out to the end of a solid bar so that may be an advantage.
  3. Doesn't make it good practise though.
  4. I was using a borrowed Partner saw that was given to a friend of mine. It only gets used a couple of times a year but it starts with a bit of coaxing and runs till the job's done then gets put back in the shed. It weighs a lot and drinks fuel but for what it gets used it's not worth replacing.
  5. 30% off bars at Northern Arb today in an email.
  6. On Hampstead Heath at the time wasn't he ? It's not going to get any better is it Mick ?
  7. Saws aren't supposed to be used at lower revs, flat out is the way to go especially when "tickling a hinge" type maneuvers are being done. Any chain will grab if it's not up to speed.
  8. Merry Christmas to everyone.
  9. Is Samuel H Jackson related to Samuel L Jackson?
  10. Copper grease is anti seize not lubrication, proper grease does the job better.
  11. I've looked all over and I can't find what kind of steel they use. I also can't find what kind of steel Oregon, Ozaki or Stihl use.I could be cutting this wood with something totally unsuited for the job and not know about it. I'd also like to know what kind of aluminium Husqvarna makes their pistons from and what rubber is used for the diaphragms in Walbro carbs. I am not going to sleep over Christmas now thanks to you
  12. I use LM grease on all mine, same grease as car wheel bearings get. Bar tip sprockets get same.

    Fake or not?

    Has that cat got egg noodles on its feet ?
  14. I asked this last year and posted a perfectly rational link. I certainly wouldn't stop shopping at Iceland because they call a tree by a different name to the one I use. I am well into their Greggs pasties at the moment though P.S. if you put Pseudotsuga menziesii on the label I'd probably think it was drugs
  15. I can see it in mine and your reply. Try a direct upload. 10.10 would do for me. Just a thought, if you had a bloke on there would it have a second finger ?
  16. I found a meme that I thought was quite good.
  17. What did it cost in shells ?
  18. I wouldn't pay that for an 039. I bought an 036 for £120 and it out performed my friends 039 on a 20" bar.
  19. That would last about two days round here before the police had it in the crusher riding it like that
  20. I run my 135 on Aspen as well. I ran it on pump fuel at first and I had to richen it up a bit and speed up the tickover when I switched to Aspen but it runs sweet enough and no starting problems.
  21. They've stopped crapping on site now if they have previous as it is DNA testable.
  22. Put the filter back on. You are getting standoff at the Carb entrance. Is it running rich?
  23. What model saw is it ?
  24. It's mayonnaise, are you putting olive oil in the fuel mix ?
  25. They look versatile but are definitely not cheap. Crewcab Kipper sounds like a fun vehicle, bit fishy though.
