Sorry. I thought he wanted to change his bar on the 135.

You could call your local dealer . Or skyland equipment will be able to sort you out. One of the site sponsors. You will need to keep the same size chain unless you swap the drive sprocket.

Small bar is not a problem. It will cut better as well.

Well done mate for buying British and supporting traditional crafts, 👍

Thanks, I was surprised this topic hadn't come up before. Not that I could find anyway. Not may basket makers left.

Lovely, was it that John cowens?

Yes. I'm very pleased with it.

Thanks for posting this those baskets look great I've been looking for one for a while as well but hard to find decent quality ones 👍👍👍

I thought I couldn't be the only person looking for a well made log basket . He made it to my sizes and it only took about a week to post. Great service.

Arrived today. Very well made.

I've found them on forrest and Arb so all's good 👍

Sorry. They only have the saw listed on their website.

Who is it on here that sells echo machines?

Skyland equipment sell them.

Thanks for you suggestions, i sent a few emails but got no response. I have placed an order with a chap from Scotland. I will post a picture when I receive it.

She seems to have shortened her name to Cat, it's more than a decade since I last saw her, I worked with Mark in about 1995

Thanks.

Can't find them. Are they online?

Caroline Beaumont and her husband Mark used to do the Bentley show. Caroline would weave baskets cross legged and with bare feet, using her toes to hold as she wove the osier by hand. Mark did charcoal burning.

 

Too far south from you I suspect.

Thanks , I will see if they have a website. Nobody is close so it would have to be posted.

Contact Amanda Rayner at Wyldwood Willow

 

very good quality stuff.

 

 

hope this helps.

Thanks willie I will have a look. 👍

Hi. I have been looking for a good rectangular log basket and wondered if anyone is a weaver or knows of any? Thanks

Hi Husky, I'm in a similar place - trying to find an electric splitter for home use. I've been trying to get some info on these, a bit more money but might be good? Problem is that I can't find anyone who knows anything about them...

12 ton Electric VENOM Compact Log Splitter

Not a derail, just throwing something else into the ring.

Looks good if you have lots of space to store it.

Looking at it again, over 10 years old! Paint Has faded due to sun, so what effect has that had on the plastic/rubber bits?.

Pay your money, take a chance, or not.

I think you would be better getting new for the price difference. How old is it? No warranty. How far are you going to travel? You will need a van and two man lift. About 100kg. If you lay it down make sure the oil tank cap is on tight or you will loose all the oil.

Hi. Sorry your link isn't working for me. Looks like the right one.

Another link. Under 500

It's the same as the Handy pro 7. Good machine for the money. Just over 500 new delivered.

It seems that a lot of people really have no clue as to what chain they are using!

 

A standard 550/560 are exactly the same ie .325 pitch 1.5mm gauge.

550 can run 2 chain widths . RTFM. Good point people don't know what they use.
