Hi Mark . It took about 10 hours spread over two days . No it wasn’t for anyone, just an idea I had that needed out . Someone will take it eventually. I have a open public page on Facebook called “ Caledonian Chainsaw Carving “ where you can see more progress pictures and all my other stuff . Thanks Derek

Hi guys. Still chipping away on my journey.

Thanks guys . Its not burned as that would put too much heat into him so it's Ronseal black shed paint . The eyes are black glass marbles from Amazon. Mouth is acrylic paint and the rest is Ronseal decking oil . Stage pics on my page on Facebook " Caledonian Chainsaw Carving ". cheers

Hi guys Its been a while since I've been on . Stihl loving carving . Here's one of my latest. Derek

Thanks Gary I never thought about how high I've set the bar but I do know what I want to achieve in the next 12 months . Cheers

Hi and thanks The big eagle took a day to carve and another day to carve the feathers on the other side and apply a bit of stain to the leading edge of his wings . He ended up flying to the Outer Hebrides, Isle of lewis

Thanks

Hi guys . It's been a while since I've been on here . It's been a year since I last posted on here and my hobby became a passion. It's still early days but I've been having fun. I noticed a thread on full face masks , on my open page on face book I've made a demo video of a battery powered one that works very well " Caledonian Chainsaw Carving ". Every carving holds a new lesson . Stay safe Derek. I'll post a few pics of what I've been up to , more on my page.

Meant to say that I've got an open page on Facebook . It's not a bussines , just a history of my journey so far. It's called Caledonian Chainsaw Carving.

Last pic and I have no idea why they are uploading side ways lol

The otter is about life sez I think

Hi Guys it been a while since I've been in here. Next month marks my first year in chainsaw carving. With the help of a few guys on here I've found a new passion. Ok my wife calls it an obsession but I'm having a lot of fun.

This and great works of art like it made me go out and buy a chainsaw just under a year ago . With the help of some carvers on here I have found a new passion in my life. Outstanding didn't begin to cover this fantastic carving.

Hi Guys I've been chainsaw carving now for 6 months ( Caledonian Chainsaw carving , open page on Facebook) but I've stihl to manage getting on a Lantra maintenance and cross cut course. Three times I've been let down by the local centre that keeps putting it off and are also £90 more expensive than others . I think they are having problems getting the minimum of 4 people. I've held off on this because I live 100 miles south of there in Glasgow but as an archery coach I had planned to help out the local archery clubs while I was up there with a few group sessions. Ive had enough of being messed about so if there's anyone reading this that is running a course Sat/Sun ( I work night shift during the week) in Scotland please let me know . I do know the different places I could go in Scotland for this but it would cut out a lot of phone calls if you let me know. You can also send me a personal message to my Facebook page if you would prefer. I still have a massive amount to learn and would like to start in the right place. Thanks for reading my rant. Derek

Thanks for all your help guys . What a joy to use , it is actually easier than my 211 to start. I also didn't find it any where as heavy as I expected . Derek

Thanks a lot guys. I just opened her up and yes there is a solenoid on the throat'd body . I know these sit on the displays for a while so the date thing isn't a problem. Get to play with it tomorrow after all. Derek

Hi Guys Bit of help from any Stihl gooroos out there. I picked up my new Ms362cm 18" today. Now I've noticed that it has " MS362 C" on the chain brake. It also has a three poz switch not two as I thought came with the cm model . Here's what I know , part No 1140 200 0179 is a MS 362 c m. This saw has a part No 1140 967 3304A S. ( 179582322 stamped on plate) Date 12/2014 Have they given me the model without the electronics ? I have the 2015 catalogue open in front of me and this saw order number isn't in it!!! Any ideas guys? Too annoyed to think straight!

Almost finished. Going for the Ms 362.

This is my latest project . Twin eagle garden bench , Stihl lots to finish off before I drown it in oil lol. I try to improve with every one I do
