    Handle

    Seem to be only available from the US ? Some interesting historical infos: apple was the wood of choice Woods Used in Saw Handles – Lost Art Press BLOG.LOSTARTPRESS.COM Although one is not apt to think of the apple tree as a source of timber, as a matter of fact at least 2,000,000 board feet of...
  2. Sounds like a company best avoided.
  3. Suppose a pyramids scheme is lucrative as long as you not the sucker holding when the whole thing collapses Morally esp with regards to enviromental impact seems very dubious though. Have you seem thoose massive cryptomines in central asia? (Also policew raiding the illegal ones) Its like something from a dystopian sci fi film... Inside Kazakhstan's giant crypto-mine WWW.BBC.CO.UK Kazakhstan is now the world's second biggest crypto-currency mining country, thanks partly to a vast mine in the desert.
  4. Thats not what ive read it may be marketing bull though... Couldn't get an expensive new SS henckels knife as sharp as a old carbon sabateir one or to stay sharp as long. Henckels is regarded and sold as a expensive quality brand but they rate it poorly on this chart? Steel Types THESHARPCHEF.CO.UK There are two main categories of steel, Carbon steel and Stainless steel. Most knives fall in to one of these... Other online sources saying similar but they are trying to flog japanese carbon steel ones. Also many pro chefs still using carbon apparently? Also my opinel carbone stays sharper longer than a more expensive SS pen knife I have.....

  6. Throught trews were tartan 🙂 Don't wear a matching cape chainsaws plus capes is a bad combo safety wise.
  7. I agree with you, and think its kind of interesting why they have being slow in development of any decent new global brands. Viewpoint: Why do so few Chinese brands go global? WWW.BBC.CO.UK Chinese companies are extending their reach around the globe but why have they not been able to build their own brands? Think many 3rd world places are probably full of chinese cars and motorcyle brands but not the western market yet... even if alot is now made in china for the global brands..... Top 10 electric car makers has some chinese..... Biggest EV Makers by Market Cap - TheStreet WWW.THESTREET.COM The electric vehicle market is growing at lightning pace, so what are the biggest EV companies by market cap? China is such a huge market & alot of there brands are big in in china but not global.....
  8. Waht seems odd is the 40cc chainsaws with near worse av spec than a ms880 surely a few av springs cost pennies?
  9. One of theese thats matches your chainsaw chain file size. Stihl chainsaw filing kit in tool roll – FR Jones & Son WWW.FRJONESANDSON.CO.UK
  10. Looks right from googling
  11. Can't it be sharpened?
  12. Thought deer pop was higher than ever.....
  13. Didn't think much of what they made, the bench was ok but not to my taste, the chainsaw aeroplane looked crap and the surf table looked like an ironing board. They has some nice tools though
  14. Some different homemade wedge ideas, on this blog .... P3 - Die didaktische PHOTOSCHULE - Schritt für Schritt zum photographischen Erfolg - Wald WWW-THOMAS--KOEGL-DE.TRANSLATE.GOOG Neue Seite
  15. Have the hendon 2.4m one with the 3 adjustable legs for a yr and am very happy with it. Only thing broken so far is one of the adittional the rubber feet for use on solid ground eg concrete etc has split. Having 3 legs is alot better and more useful than the 4 legged henchman thing which ive also used, its more stable on uneven ground and slopes, lighter and easier to move, and the one leg can go into the hedge or it can be also used leaning on dense hedges.... thats why milking stools have 3 legs also..... Idealwould be to have a smaller and larger one also to suit the height of different hedges......but if just getting one 2.4m is good choice. Niwaki also do a jap brand one, and I see that there are now a few others makes or rebranded ones selling,, but I never seen the other brands up close to compare the quality.....
  16. Arpal, AM-160TR-K, Cardan driven branch logger for max 16 cm ⌀ woods AGROHOF.CO.UK Wood chipper AM-160TR-K cut branches, slats, drifts and other wood waste into billets 120-240 mm long.

  17. Reckon he probably did swim it genuine nutter 😄 Reminded me of this story 'Frostbit Boy' Ruairí McSorley rescued among dolphins after 12 hours at sea WWW.IRISHNEWS.COM 'Frostbit Boy' Ruairí McSorley has been rescued after getting into difficulty while swimming off the coast of Co Kerry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLMrHRuhxO4
  18. Doesn't seem worth it as price looks near the same as ms261?
  19. He would be the richest PM in the last 250yrs & owns 180 quid coffee mug His political idealogies seems more right wing than boris who doesn't seem to have much interest in having any consistent over_arching_idealogy. Sunak is more let market forces rule small goverment etc.... Let them eat cake Paranoid to think he will have policies aimed at benefiting the likes of Goldman Sach etc rather than the man on the clampham ominbus?. Leveling up etc though pulbic sector spending is an oddly socialist slogan for the tory party. Its hard to believe as a genuinely held one imo. More likely they think the midlands/ north as the "the undeserving poor" ....and beyond goverment help...
  20. The domed kiln roof construction method is interesting Using logs on props to make a a solid log former and then they burn the former out...by the looks of it..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftLM3iQHq6g
  21. A worn bar groove does that also
  22. That first video was beautiful like a studio ghibili film..... The second link, links to to a series of 6 videos on youtube that films the whole process from felling the trees, to boxing the final product and, some questions are asked plus answered in the comments. 9 days burn mentioned here......seems very long burn time? Could you do the same process in your retort?
  23. Ideal is having the roof overhanging stops more wind plus rain wetting logs
