Hi All Many Thanks to all for all the replys offering to carve the Totem pole , the Job is now sorted and work will begin next week so I will post some pics on here for all to have a look at. Just need work for my Swamp Rat now ??? Pete

Hi Wisewood Yep will be looking tonight

Hi Mark I know its a shame when politics come in to an art . Pete

Hi Mark Yeh I tested the waters there and it was a bit political so gave it a miss Pete

I think if it was 3ft deep by 2ft square that would be 6 cubic feet of part dry mix with room for a few inches of soil . When I was doing the stone monoliths we found the most important bit was a 6 to 8 inch pad with a dowl set in the middle and then we lowered the thing on to the dowl and backfilled with some drymix and that was accepted by most councils Pete

Hi All I am looking for a chainsaw carver who could produce a 14 foot totem pole 3 foot of the log would be buried in the ground The log would be supplied and the place to carve it would be sorted. The theme for the carvings would be native Indian and the thickness of the log would be about 18 inches and the wood would probably be Ceder The location of this job is in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. I own a shop doing wood items with CNCs and Co2 Lasers and have a go at making most things in wood for people so this would not just be a one off job as I am asked for wood carvings quite often. If anyone is interested in taking this job on Please PM me with a rough estimate of your price and time scale. Any Questions please ask Pete

Well I have not used it But I didnt know it has a manual oiler (you learn something new every day Cheers Dude Pete

Bought the rings ...cheers guys:thumbup:

Hi All Just looking for the Piston now for the old Girl .....But I have had to buy another saw its a Stihl 084av with a 48 inch bar and ripping chain its a nice clean and tidy saw and fits the mill perfectly ,,, has anyone any advice on this saw good or bad.

Hi Shavey I put the number in you posted and it came up as a charger for some gizmo. Am I doing sumut wrong

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:Pete

That would be Great if you could and I appreciate all the help , I have been told to just bin it but I like this old stuff Pete

Hi Shavey Can I ask Do you know of any dealers in this country that would have a piston and rings the piston size looks like 54 or 55 mm Petesos

Hi Again all I have took the head off completely and to my surprise the head is in good nick with only a flake of the piston So i think a slight buff up with a honer should remove it . The Piston on the other hand looks well shot as the rings are pinched in to there resets So a new piston and rings and small end bearings are the order of the day for this ole girl. Does anyone know a company I can get the bits from And are you sure the piston is the same as a 166. Thanks to all

Eyes are on ebay I was wondering if there is a company in this country that could rebore it and put new rings and piston in it ?? Pete
