  1. Standard oil is CST 100 from memory, you've already had a few suggestions such as Stihl. The choice as they say is yours but either way you'll be paying a premium for thin oil with anti fling additive
  2. Presumably it's style over actual function and not to be wheeled around the village selling your wears ?. Maybe just add a couple of legs behind the wheel and hide them behind the spokes.
  3. Has it lost all the paint or just around the edges, that would suggest it's getting very hot. Usually at refill time I'll check tension, temperature and if it needs a sharpening before firing up again
  4. Definitely agree with @Peasgood, more space junk, fortunately it's within our orbit so will eventually return and burn up upon reentry. Just a bit daft everyone with competing systems, Amazon were doing aswell. Surely easier to invest in the land based fibre infrastructure, almost as hypocritical as sky and their net zero pledge whilst firing up a new satellite every few years.
  5. Maybe your over tightening the chain causing it to stretch prematurely. I cut a lot of firewood, sharpening regularly so probably 30m3 between chains, but never had one stretch much. It's usually lacking teeth rather than adjustment.
  6. 14" should be 60 link, i run a 18" that's 74. I'd count the links personally just for my own peace of mind.
  7. Those will be the newly launched SpaceX on the 17th. Over time the spread out into a constellation.
  8. End of travel, what bar and chain are you running?. If anything it should be about 1/4-1/2 of the adjustment travel
  9. A worn rim will have impressions, surface marks are fine but when it indented it will make for a looser chain and require more adjustment to take up the slack. I should note it's a dark art getting tension just right as it will tighten and loosen depending on temp.
  10. That and the yours are so much dryer than the kiln dried ones I bought last, yeah and paying considerably less whilst in the same breath grumbling at the price!.
  11. Granted I do use half a IBC as a builders bag, it's a little more generous so charge accordingly but saves on double handling. Customers tend to understand pretty quickly and those are the ones you tend to keep, they may occasionally go elsewhere but very quickly return.
  12. Having sold a lot of firewood over the decades, just use the 0.5 as a builders bag example for pricing & comparison. There is no point arguing with customers to gain a sale, either they buy or they don't. Three sizes barrow, builders and IBC.
  13. Think I might have enough for the little condolences card, flowers might be a push!.
  14. Family reunion minibus off a cliff ?
  15. https://www.woodsure.co.uk/find-a-supplier/
  16. It's a bit like having a pissing contest, when he's quite happy being the biggest tool in the toolbox.
  17. Hoisted by his own petard. Some of us farmers do actually look after our gear, and have little need to strip a chainsaw due to stupidity, neglect or hubris.
  18. If you did buy direct from Sweden or somewhere Nordic, I'm not sure if you can reclaim any VAT on the import as an end user. If you're using B2B it probably isn't a problem tho.
  19. Think I needed a better careers adviser 😉
  20. I'm not sure if I want to ask if it's hot bunking ?.
  21. Why am I imagining shower curtain style bunks. Easy clean as they say 🤮
  22. Just 5* cuisine and seamen 😉.
  23. Thought you worked in Norway, I'm sure the locals could help ?.
  24. Maybe we can get the live web camera feed from the dealer, where they point and laugh you out of the dealership.
  25. Look bud, I was polite, now go back to your safe space and have a cry over my non existent micro agressions with your NOW out of warranty saw doorstop. I've rebuilt plenty of stuff, never before it's even had time to dry the warranty sticker adhesive.
