Aye, if I'm cutting and splitting fire wood I tend to cut a bit then split a bit as I've found that if I go in just cutting till the battery is done then it will overheat and not charge until it's cooled down and as you say when the battery gets hot it doesn't last as long. Having said that, if I'm on a tidying up a type of garden job with sporadic use I'm often surprised just how long 1 battery can last. I've heard folk talking about Ego tools and to satisfy my curiosity I found this review, cheers.

Sorry, no.. it was something I read a year or so ago when a reporter was interviewing folk in NZ who were very unhappy with what was being imposed on them. A quick google tells me that I was wrong about this it seems and it's just old style coal and wood fuelled fireplaces that the government want rid of in favour of ' lower emitting burners ' Apologies, and it just goes to show that you can't always believe much that you read or hear online, I happily would edit out that paragraph but it seems that that option is not being offered when I click on it.

Jeez, I hadn't heard, I was just watching him the other night.. he was a totally unique one off amazing talent whilst also being a normal guy.. what a loss, and as you have already said.. Thanks for all he gave us.

I know how you must feel as one of the only guys I kept in tough with from my schooldays is on his last legs atm, he was a very good guitarist although unknown except locally, cheers.

Amazing, had to watch all four👍

I have to say I very much agree, in that the article itself was mostly common sense imo, but many of the negative comments emphasise just how uninformed and led by the nose general society has become, or as I believe deliberately dumbed down to the LCD and kept there by their lack of just about everything that would have once been important for survival, cheers.

Unfortunately when you see brainless rubbish that's being pushed everywhere and what's happening around the world... I don't think it'll be very long before Scotland's arsehole parliament will try the same pish of making it illegal to heat yourself with fire which will be a defining moment in the history of our evolution. I believe the the Ardern corrupt government of NZ has banned any kind of burning anywhere which has caused may rural folk to have to leave their homes, and I expect that Sturgeon has similar evil ambitions, not to mention her perverted sexualisation of children nonsense.👎👎 Meant to say that I enjoyed the link you put up, Cheers.

Sorry to hear that Doug it's always a difficult time, I'm not long after losing my Lucy at the same age so how you feel is still very fresh in my mind, cheers.

Aye, I believe that each of Henry 8's fleet needed around 10 ha or 1,000 trees of 'managed' for hundreds of years Oak woodland, leading on to Nelson's ships needing more than 4 times that per boat. I did read that the stunted rotting unmanaged oak woodlands around the Loch Lomond area were planted just after Henry's and pre Nelson's era with a nod to the future of shipbuilding... and then came the industrial rev, and people forgot to care. To put it in perspective, had the above mentioned wood been managed properly they would still have 2 or 3 hundred years to go before harvesting... changed days eh ! It kind of points to the completely different mindset of past times where folk didn't just rip out nature without any foresight but had worked with it for millennia.... thinking about this while I type I guess that the stripping out of nearly all of the mature ancient Oak woodlands to build Men o' war must have been the biggest change to this country since the ice melted, and once the resource was used up it was essentially gone for ever, cheers.

And to safety of the rest of us, after all they seem to be importing a muslum army at the moment and they all have totally values and morals to ours, and all that prick is doing is giving them justification for whatever may happen next... I can see no reason for the current situation other than outright treason👎

My thoughts exactly...

Fair point re graphite, but not really the point ... The tech employed by the two different approaches to space flight was remarkably different up until their joint collaborations when at which time the different systems had to be compatible. In any case the Soviet Space programme { over time } was arguably proven to be a more reliable and safe delivery into orbit system than a lot of what NASA did, after all it's only the recent arrival of Spacex that's knocked them off their top spot of being the only option in the supply of everything to the space station since the last shuttle flight in 2011. Soyuz may have been a bit agricultural in comparison to the shuttle but nothing wrong with comparative simplicity imo .. and it became very tried and tested over time... ...anyway wax crayons then😄

Very nice👍

Yep, if I remember correct Frank's test bed was a Velocette, there's an old book out there called ' valve mechanisms for high speed engines ' by P Smith which documents the details of many of the alternative valve mechanisms that were conceived, designed and tried out as early as more than a century ago. I've wanted a copy all my life but they are very scarce now and command a high price when they do appear, cheers.

Aye, the downside is that it's the total fecking answer to efficient combustion of fuel in IC engines which along with other buried tech like Hydrogen fuel for example would totally contradict the nasty crap narrative that we're expected to swallow these days... I mean, a simple engine that has twice the efficiency of what's considered normal that more completely combusts the fuel leaving far less waste products and is all in much better all round ... Why wouldn't you embrace the idea / concept? Answer.. the military has and that's where it's gone. Interestingly enough, on the same subject an English engineer named Frank Aspen is worth a google👍

RCV engines, and apologies for the derail I'll put this up again because it's interesting, these engines originally for model aircraft can burn any fuel and so efficiently that they more than pass all emissions tests without needing any jiggery pokery. I've been following, or trying to follow any progress in this for a number of years and at one point they were looking for a business partner to build garden machinery including chainsaws of which they already had working prototypes with a very high power to weight ratio, but it would seem unfortunately, as I'd come to believe and my latest search today confirms, they have mainly been side tracked by the military and power the latest drones. Technology like this and other very similar designs goes back a very long way to the inception of IC engines but back in the day there simply wasn't the materials science or precision engineering to allow reliability and low emissions, so the poppet valve prevailed...

Aye, I'm just waiting for the day that I start to notice a change in the batteries, as for instance I did with my Makita stuff after a certain time... but on the whole that hasn't happened yet and the more time that goes by the less of a concern it becomes. Having said that, I think that with all the extra electronic gubbins on the 300... it may be more fragile and susceptible to extra reasons to fail in some way, do I really need a 'smart' chainsaw that can conjoin with with the nearest Alexa🤪 Kind of like the way that NASA spent millions trying to invent a pen that would work in space whereas the Russians just used a pencil.

It's ideal for personal firewood or garden type work, tidying /caretaking in the wood yes but felling a wood definitely no. One of it's best attributes is no noise meaning you don't annoy folk and can work just about anytime you like and if you're near a power supply one battery will charge quicker than the other runs down [ AP300s ] so potentially you can keep going all day with just 2. It must be near 4 years since I bought mine and it's not a tool that I'd want to be without now, but as @scbk said bring on the fuel cell backpack👍

Thanks, but I'm only guessing from my own experience.. getting the hole in the right place on any job is the difficult bit and any error is very difficult to compensate for after that fact, if you were to true up that pipe the hole would be well wrong inside and out. And a happy and rewarding 2023 to you👍

Hi, all these images show the flue square to the wall although none from the side but the shadow shows true vertical image. None of these have the cone adapter straight onto the twinwall, so you'd have to ask if the adapter is off true to accommodate some problem with the position of the hole in the wall as if you could reposition the flue true to the wall you may be a brick out on the inside and a good bit more on the other side of the wall. In saying this I'd assuming that the conical adapter is a separate part fixed to the top of the stove, you'll be able to see that from the inside I assume, cheers. stovax+studio+air+2 - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM

Aye, and as I was commenting on the price of the msa300 all I could think about was.. feck that's well more than an 881 which puts it into a bit of perspective 👍 Happy New Year to you and yours.
