If you have a wood lathe, you can mount a hook and loop circular sandpaper disk and dress the bar at 90 degrees very accurately.

Another vote for wood wasp here. They love spruce. IF you gonna eat them, don't go native - fry them as you would shrimp. If there not enough to make a side dish, bulk out with woodlice. Yum.

Sounds like this has the potential to be a long and juicy thread! Details - more details!

Jamlala's thread on the new x-cut chain lead me to the Husqvarna UK youtube channel where I found this. I suppose this is what the Swedes get up to in winter when its dark all the time and booze is too expensive. They look like they're having fun though. Incidentally, did y'all know that the Husqvarna symbol is actually a gun sight? They started out building muskets. [ame] [/ame]

Fly Agaric is said to be a delicious culinary mushroom when prepared the right way - plenty of articles online how to - basically slice and boil in a large pot of water for half an hour, then drain and boil again in new water. It leeches all the ibotonic acid which is the harmful element. Apparantly they can withstand serious boiling without turning to mush. Then fry in butter - reportedly the most delicious mushroom going. The Italians and Japanese use it in their cuisine. Can also be pickled. If the hallucinogenic properties are desired, then drying, powering and boiling and drinking the boiled water is supposed to be the way to go - the drying process neutralises the ibotenic acid. Start with a small amount, wait an hour as it has a slow absorption time, and increase as required. I haven't tried it, but did try eating a raw small one once - didn't turn me into a berserker but I was vomiting like a real Viking about half an hour later. Didn't notice any psychoactive effects.

Thats global warming for you....

Round slings are a sleeve filled with a single continuous fiber that circles round and round, the mass of stands are loose in the sleeve so when a load is applied they all tighten simultaneously, sharing the load in a way that cannot be achieved with woven slings. This makes them much stronger for their weight and bulk than woven flat slings, and also makes them last longer as the ware is distributed randomly in a different place each time the sling is deployed. The jacket sleeve also protects the fibbers from abrasion and UV - the downside is it makes inspection of the interior difficult if not impossible. Here is a video of how they make round slings - the ones shown have a transparent sleeve so you can monitor the inner load bearing fibers.

Something similar happened to me a couple of times, the chain was too looses and the centrifugal forces forced it out of the bar groove and contacted the body of the mill.

Fussy....ok then bring your skillet and kelly kettle and have a fry up in the woods!
-
Why not bring sandwiches?

Thanks fellers, yes U-bolts are a much better idea, wish I'd thought of it - will do that next time.

Motorola MotoG - "the iPhone6 of the Third World!" android is a mighty OS. To quote the sales guy in the Vodafone store: "- The amoled display is so clear you can almost see the disappointment on their parent's faces..."

It definitely has a hole for inserting a screwdriver or "pin" it's in the top of the protuberance next to the grease nut, might be blocked with crud. Google Stihl FS450 manual and download PDF - it shows where it is.

Thanks for your kind support guys!

Tried that once but the tube frame is too thin, just burns through. A skilled welder could do it, or maybe an average guy with a MIG. Also the tube rusts long before the axel so It would eventually break at the weld I would think. The bolt-on axel can be removed when the barrow is knackered and put on a new barrow. Thats the theory anyway.

Thanks Darren. I considered messing with the pitch and going full on James Earl Jones but my girl said no. Might as well be real.

I do have a tendency to inspire innuendos...the bolts were shanked, hard to see on the vid, could have done it with a tight pipe sleeve it's true.

Built my third 3 wheeler barrow together yesterday, got it down to a fine art now so thought I might as well document my method. [ame] [/ame]

Eydon poppin kettle here - fabulous gadget. Combine with a thermos "jar" and instant noodles for a tasty woods treat!

Seconded. I carry a leatherman squirt at least, which is kind of like a lucky charm I suppose. Like the doctor who performed a tracheotomy on a plane with his swiss army knife classic - could save a life. The squirt coupled with a AAA flashlight on a ring is pretty much minimal daily carry for me anyway. I have a needle and some duct tape in my wallet as well. I couldn't ware a lucky charm anyway, can't stand having anything attached to my extremities or around my neck. Thought - are tattoos lucky charms? I think that was kind of their purpose in the beginning right?

Wouldnt a generic filter do the job?
