    Thinking on having a go at rehandling a billhook thats missing its handle. The tang profile is flat and it tapers down like the one in the picture below & just under 6" long (5.5" seems like the standard length for billhook handles?) I have another complete billhook and the tang end is bent over with a washer on Have a offcut from a ash fork handle thats suitable size for the handle The idea was to drill & rasp out the roughly the tang shape then & burn it in to finish. Atm don't have a suitable (long enough) drill bit & narrow & rasp etc to create the correct hole profile Any pointers on the best way/tools etc to cut the hole the correct shape to fit the tang?

    Sounds like abit of a design flaw . Why not have an adjustable baffle/flue damper for use whilst lighting? I get the design logic for max % efficiency & its maybe that they think people can't be trusted to not leave it open.

    Thought it best to look early as heard talk/hearsay that there was going to be widespread shortages due to all the new tree planting schemes going on atm, but maybe it is too early. Just wondered if anyone else had heard similar?

    Seems there is abit of supply shortage judging buy prices and stock lvls?

    Good idea in your opinion if you believe in trickle down & its is not a view that is shared by all economists.

    I wouldn't bother pissing about removing stumps from small areas for conservation purposes Regen will back back in no time anyway unless all the trees are removed from a larger surrounding area Sounds like you need some animals grazing the site other wise it will be like fighting against the tide. Saying the above alot of conservation practice does seem to be totally bonkers (imo) similar nonsense. Have you seen theese tree pullers thought they were a neat idea not used them though

    Echo CS-4310SX

    Stere replied to john87's topic in Chainsaws

    I agree they won't sell hardly any. Seems the don't understand the UK market even though in japan they probably dominate it? Echo brand awareness is very low in UK not sure how they can hope to increase there market share either with home owners or pro but they don't seem to be doing a very good job at it. Shame as ther product is as good as the others. There "home owner" saws look better quality than the ubiquitous ms181 etc? Im guessing stihl is way ahead of the rivals across all market segments with 1 company being so dominant its hard to compete

    Maybe it was the norwegians taking out the competition as they have just opened a new pipe to Poland. 😏 Or attack dolphins?

    Never being bothered about noise as can wear ear defenders. From limited exprience do seem to get gassed by the exhaust though when using a PTO splitter esp if wind is changing direction etc or if its a very still day. Doesn't seem to be an issue that bothers other people though.

    Rapeseed oil viscosity is: (no idea google gives some different figures) Seems it can be processed to get different viscosities from the same base ingredients? Trumpler: Oelbase WWW.TRUMPLER.COM https://www.lehvoss-surfacetec.de/en/products/base-fluids/id/trumpler-oxidised-rapeseed-oils.pdf

    Well they have a policy to delete what is regarded as fake news. Not that it seem to make any difference as there is such a huge volume of conspiracy stuff on social media and the internet in general (or truthful info if your a believer) thats its like pissing in the wind as to being an effective policy to try and sucessfully suppress it.

    I don't even understand what exactly theese WEF IMF conspiracies are that people allude to as there are so many different ones and they always seem to have a tendency to be vague. Some even sounds like sensible policy ideas others batshit crazy. Sorry I must be a terrible sheeple.

    Would it not be better to just buy a new splitter with an engine?
