Holding a cut branch and snedding the little twigs off it with the 200 in the other hand. Spinning chain up and down the stick several times whilst stick is rotated be the left hand, coming to within inches of the said hand. Chuck stick on pile and repeat. Not me, but seen it done.....

If its anything like their axes, splitting mauls, scissors etc, its a thing of beauty...love all their stuff - Go Fiskars!!

Ok folks....its Friday eve, three scotches under the belt, a fourth on hand and laptop on lap... Stumble on a review of the MS201 in a weird asian language. So I copy past into Google Translate just for the craic and it identifies it as Japanese. For some reason I got a massive kick out of reading this. I am a Japanophile anyway, but I really think this is cool! Hope Im not breaking any rules by copy-pasting it here, If so - Im sorry and will take myself off to bed without any tea........without further ado - :corkysm21: German steel company, will come out one after another good chainsaw. Chainsaw club, we were allowed to use the "MS201" of the latest model. Frankly "well-off!" And "excessive force because the cut is not necessary," it felt. The saw chain is the first place unnecessary force unnecessary if thorns properly, but what has also improved the sustainability of its sharpness, does not need much force. Na amazing me the latest model with admiration. However, never older (200 or 020) is also not a bad model. Also to have been still active in active service in the Association, it is what your existing models want even if much important. Although it is standard for when we introduce new models, environmentally friendly, reduce the burden on the body, we are emphasizing operational performance, cost performance, and design. That point, "MS201" I felt Na has both. In particular, since this time were used "MS201C-E" is with a virtual pump (primary pump depending on the manufacturer), pumped up is easy and engine start-up of the fuel is a breeze. This side is often those with the natural way in the model of the Japanese chainsaw manufacturer. However, for other performance, Japan's chainsaw manufacturers I'd want more caught up with the steel's development technology. It may be that you must learn to Steel's management philosophy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the leader of the chainsaw industry. It is the most frequently adopted to have chainsaw manufacturers in our association. Well, in the way and forest volunteer activities that start the mountain work, and anyone who tries to introduce a steel company of chainsaws, First, we recommend that you buy "MS201" or "MS201C-E" (40 cm of the guide bar). Until harvesting wooden material of medium 径木 from small-diameter trees, you will play an active part anything almost. In the lightweight class, it is a model often loyal from amateur to professional. Stock also I think also that there is no problem to buy a "MS200" when it was I be cheaper if there is. Students who want a lightweight model even a little a powerless I think that it is better to buy a "MS192C-E" (35 cm of the guide bar). And to is enough if thinning of up to 30-40 cm in diameter, there are rather lightweight minute, often is also a good surface easier to work efficiently done by the branches pay. It is said to casual users, but since foreign casual users hard than do-it-yourself of Japan, there are durability enough. In forestry team of our association we have adopted one. If you stick a metal spike sold separately and is perfect. A little large trees and oak, many person the opportunity to kill a hardwood such as oak, "MS241C-M" (45 cm of the guide bar) or "MS261" (50 cm guide bar) would be optimal. Cutting speed horsepower is up will increase dramatically. Because the big tree does not increase the work efficiency even with small models of horsepower, more of this class will be less burden on the body. Since the weight naturally heavier than "MS201", it is not suitable for anyone who wants "MS201" is heavy, body class is using as a normal class in the forest industry. In any case, the chainsaw is mon of Nanbo using. Cost basis for those who align buy the model of a number also will not stay so. It is important to be able to harvesting timber material the trees as much as possible variety of 径級 in one of the models. Diameter of up to twice the guide bar by technology it is possible to kill to safety. It is, who have a "MS192C-E" is, buy models then the "MS241C-M" and "MS261" called. If you have a "MS201", I think further a good choice to keep up adding to buy something, "MS362" above. The chainsaw club, you can actually use, including the chainsaw of various manufacturers Steel's chainsaw. Class There are also various. By all means, on top of your participation, please try.

Boggles is right... he's a legend! Rock On Jon!

Not for $1,000 a log, but what might just work is "Bespoke Firewood - premium old growth hardwood logs cut to your specification, length and thickness personally crafted to fit your stove, open fireplace and patio brazier - no need to fight your logs ever again!

Just been reading the £20 Glasgow Tree Surgeon Ripoff thread, and learned that "Husqvarna Combi Can" is a euphamism for something, but nobody wants to say??? Anyway, my can has been ok, bought it in march. But I broke the oil spout, got it stuck in the oil-tank mouth of my 254 and wouldn't come out, tugged and the fecker pulled off. Upon close examination, one side of a small plastic flange had broken off, but there's enough there to hold it, if Im gentle with it , and its been working ok.

Thanks Woodbioma, watched that in the van yesterday on my phone on break, it made my day! Whish I'd thought of that!

Stereo mate, if you have some old weights lying around, go pump some iron, or have a wee run around the farm. Kick start the metabolism and generate some endorphins. String up a sack o sawdust and beat the crap out of it. Its gonna be good!

Change is the only constant. It affects tectonic plates and human tribal populations. Its stressful. Our ancestors migrated and caused stress to the people who were living in the places they migrated to. Now people are migrating to where we live and causing us stress. And who can blame them? Our governments ("our" referring to the west - the first world) are cowardly. They are cowardly because we collectively craved an unsustainable system and created the current state with our votes, not in one election, but over decades of trending. The government is derived from the people and represents the collective will of the people, whether the people realise it of not. Too bad for those of us who are not "collective" enough. The other thing that bugs me, is the constant belabouring of the less than $2.00 a day thing. How much less? $1.95 ?? Just tell me the average daily wage. Lets assume its $1.50 - in a third world economy that should buy you the same weight of rice as £15.00 or €15.00 will in the first world. So the actual wage is £€ 90.00 a week (no Saturdays off) or possibly more. Yes its still peanuts if your raising a family on it, but feck it its not far off what I make a week, spread out over a year. Naturally, those guys be working 12 hour days for their $1.50/$15.00, whereas I would be working 1.... Dunno how I feel about it really. Theres a lot of slack-arses in the USA and all the west really, benefits dossers and that. Send em all to the gulag I say! Work the chip fat off em, and send em to bed early without any drugs. Don't like it? Well...that's a paddlin' Or better yet, send the middle east and africa a present. We'll trade you one for one......

I smoked from 14 to 30. 10-15 rollies a day. Started by filching Grandad's cigarillos then bought a pipe! Got into cigs after finding a pack of silk cut on the road... Been smoke free four years, just felt like enough was enough one day and quit. No cravings, no withdrawals. Not a puff since. For me it was all in the mind, and when I made up my mind that I didn't want it anymore, it was easy. Maybe for some its a proper chemical dependancy, who knows? After being clean for four year I tried a nicotine gum. It was like doing a line of white powder (I imagine) - was really tired at work, depressed, etc, five minutes later I was flying, mind focused, sociable. Lasted an hour. Pure nicotine in medical doses is a safe drug, as most of us know by now. I does not cause cancer, obviously thats caused by the tar and monoxide etc. It does temporarily narrow the blood vessels though. There is evidence that it has some power to protect against parkensonian type neurodegenerative conditions and altzhymers. Its widely used by athletes and fitness freaks as a pre-workouot stimulant!!!! So I have been popping on average one 2mg gum once every two days, treating it as a coffee-level pick me up, and not abusing it.

Well, most of the homeless I have met have been very nice...a lot of my clients keep one around the place. I think its very charitable and always go the extra mile for them.

In all honesty its a nebulous question and can only prompt nebulous answers. When everything just falls into place, machines behave, no mud, no rain, no midges. Client is delighted with the result, the price and their new pile of hardwood logs. You feel like the A-Team....light a fat cigar and say "I love it when a plan comes together!"....(tried it once but it made me ill)....

All jobs are more enjoyable when there's a really nice bum involved. Always go the extra mile for clients with really nice bums.

While we're on the subject of hard work I just wanted to say that I always was a man to work. I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work. I ain't never go nowhere yet but I got there by hard work: Work of the hardest kind. I been down and I been out And I've been busted, disgusted and couldn't be trusted. I worked my way up and I worked my way down. I've been drunk and I've been sober. I've had hard times and I got hijacked And been robbed for cash and robbed for credit. Worked my way into jail and outta jail And I woke up alotta mornings and I didn't even know where I was at. But the hardest work I ever done is when I was trying to get myself a worried woman to ease my worried mind. Now I'm gonna tell you just about how much hard work I had to do to get this here women that I'm a-tellin you about. I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolks and her blood relatives and I done the same with 86 people that was just her friends and her neighbors. Kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of em' as well as others And done the same thing several times - as well as a lot of other things just about like this. I held 125 head of wild horses, put saddles and bridles on more that that, harnessed some of the craziest, wildest teams in the whole country. I rode 14 loco broncos to a dead standstill and let 42 hound dogs lick me all over. Seven times I was bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed all to pieces by water moccasins and rattlesnakes on two separate river bottoms. I chopped and I carried 314 armloads of stove wood, 100 buckets of coal, and I carried a gallon of kerosene 18 miles over the mountains, got lost, lost a pair of shoes in a mud hole. And I chopped and I weeded 48 rows of short cotton, 13 acres of bad corn and cut sticker weeds out of 11 back yards. All on accounta' cause I wanted to show her that I was a man a I liked to work. I cleaned out 9 barnloads and cranked 31 automobiles, all makes and models. Pulled 3 cars out of mud holes and 4 out of snowdrifts. I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends and neighbors and run all kinds of errands. I played the fiddle for 9 churches meetings and I joined 11 separate denominations. I signed up and joined up for 7 of the best trade unions I could find And paid my dues about 6 weeks ahead of time. Waded 40 miles of swamps, 60 big rivers, Walked across 2 mountain ranges and crossed three deserts. I got the fever and I got sunstroke and I got malaria and I got the flu and I got moonstruck and skeeter bit, the poison ivy and the 7 year itch and the blind staggers. I was given up for lost and dead about 2 dozen times. Struck by lightning, struck by Congress, struck by friends and kinfolks as well as by three cars on the highways and a lotta times in peoples hen-houses. I been hit and run down and run over and walked on and knocked around And I'm just settin' here now trying to study up what else I can do to show that woman that I still ain't afraid of hard work. (Woodie Guthrie)

My friend has recently come down with it. His medical assessor reckoned it was caused by over-enthusiastic one-handing of his top handle saw for too many years. Twisty wristy at weird angles plus dynamic load....

Protectionism by Husqvarna or whoever the hell actually makes the orange chainsaws. The trade in used saws don't do anything for the shareholders. Policy therefore: quash online trading of orange saws as much as possible, make em all buy new saws. Idiotic, and impossible to implement, but anything that puts a few more cents in their coffers.....if you do sell that saw, its a sale lost to Husqvarna. Thats happening hundreds of times a day. Thats worth an algorithm or two, and a job in "enforcement"

Q. What do Plumbers, Porn Stars and Motor Mechanics have in common? A. They all make their living by contorting themselves into uncomfortable positions whilst getting covered in fluids and handling slippery tools.... (...a Haironyourchest original...)

Looks like paradise David. Lucky Poles, and all the eastern europeans, fabulous healthy countryside. so...A couple of African Buffalo are on holiday in North America, strolling across the great plains...and they cross paths with a pair of cowboys. One cowboy mutters to the other, as they pass "Gee Frank, those are the ugliest damn Bison I ever seen..." Well, the Buffaloes are shocked at this rudeness and stare after the cowboys as they ride off into the sunset. The one Buffalo turns to the other and says "....I do believe I just heard a discouraging word..."

Im getting a migraine just thinking about this...but then...Im a sissy....

...vs a barefoot Filipino with a sharp 090 and a good eye?

Days like that make me feel like my number was up and I just scraped by due to good karma. Could have been a whole lot worse! Consider what fate might have had in store that you just avoided: Run over by own truck. Trepanned by grinder. Grinder goes flying, cuts cord, electrocutes dog and his master. Break repair completed but fails next day causing 50 car pile-up and hundreds dead and injured....etc etc...

I used to get terrible under-arm rash from working in t-shirts and cotton shirts. At days end it was just debilitating, I'd be wretched with discomfort that could be described as agony. I tried working in vests, thus allowing my pits to breath, but no improvement. It was the sweating and chafing that done it. Then I discovered the Rashguard. Its a figure hugging lycra top, basically, with tights, if you want to go the whole hog. Never looked back. Its all I ware now, at work and play. Sweat-wicking, hand washable, quick drying, keeps you cool like you didn't have a shirt on but keeps you from sunburning. Rugged, tough cheap (sondico brand €15) Also known as a base layer. If anyone hasn't tried em.....try em!!! Its like clothing from the future.....
