  3. From Wiki: Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia states: Paulownia wood is very light, fine-grained, and warp-resistant. It is the fastest-growing hardwood. It is used for chests, boxes, and clogs (geta). The wood is burned to make charcoal for sketching and powder for fireworks, the bark is made into a dye. The silvery-grey wood is sliced into veneers for special visiting cards.[19][20] It is important in China, Korea, and Japan for making the soundboards of stringed musical instruments such as the guqin, guzheng, pipa, koto, and gayageum.[5] More recently it is used as body material for low-cost electric guitars,[21] as the core for lightweight touring skis,[22][23] and for surfboard cores.[24] It is used in guitars as the core body, then laminated under a more durable wood. Or firewood?

Only used it for firewood not carving though, but is seems pretty well made and reliable New parts: its had is new chains, a new oiler and a new set of carbon brushes over many yrs.... Odd sprocket on the makita though so might make fitting a carving bar less straight forward Both the husky and makita/dolmar are the same saw rebadged, not sure if sprockets are the same..... neue Husqvarna Elektrosägen 418 EL und 420 EL von Dolmar • Motorsägen-Portal MOTORSAEGEN--PORTAL-DE.TRANSLATE.GOOG If you look in the Sugi catalogue there are carving bars for the 420EL not sure about avialiability...

  21. Think the scheme is a good idea, but could of being made open to refugees of all nations? Don't know if many ukraine ones will be able to go home for yrs, maybe not ever, dependent on what happens/who wins looking at ukraine atm.... Will take many billions to rebuild ukriane housing etc and many yrs... What happens after 6 month if thay all cant go home, many might end up staying in homes alot longer unless gov finds other acommadtion in UK which it has a poor track record of. Goverment spends a fortune housing refugees often in squalour with the private landlords making alot of money out of it.

  23. Im 5 10" can do it fine without crate 😄 but find it just makes it alot easier & more ergonomic abit like how holding up a hegde trimmer above shoulder height is harder work than same job using a step up. Used both rubber (useless) and steel maul (they are ok), but alu is superior imo and doesn't seem to knacker the post tops as much as the steel one. Also prefer it to to thoose tube knockers As for crow bar on bad ground you can use it to nudge clear though smaller stones or if you hit big one you can't pass you keep making new holes alongside until you find some clear ground.
