  1. Trimmed free hand with a 661 36" Bit of an arse about, slipping on the iced logs. Bigger mill????? Hell yeah!!!!! Looking to go 180cm cannon bar and build a mill to match. Seriously considering skip chain or granberg ripping chain for it too. Bit worried about bar sag [emoji51]
  2. Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing more milling [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  3. Think I'm going to need a rolling pin Steve. I like that 5mm thing too. Would burr/pippy oak be any good? [emoji106]
  4. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106] It's true! I can't climb. Well I can but not for money.[emoji848] A ticket is meaningless on the job, but to get the job... Experience will allow you to do a job safely, efficiently and quickly. A ticket will get you on site. If I were in your position get all the tickets you can. Then go learn the job from a decent firm. [emoji106]
  5. You buy tickets with cash, You earn experience with time. Get as many tickets as you can big trees,windblown, climbing etc. Then work for a decent firm and learn from them. Good luck [emoji106]
  6. Really needed a guy like you today Don, Even with a tractor and loader. Best wishes on a speedy recovery[emoji106] Heavy, heavy slabs 300+kg This log had to be trimmed to 100cm wide before milling. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

  13. Seven samurai, Ran, or Yojimbo. Ok that's 3, but anything directed by Akira Kurosawa is always breathtaking in scope and vision. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  14. If you're towing up hills regularly you'll need the extra grunt. Which is why I got the V8 Doing my +E licence when I get time. Already eyeing up a 16' trailer. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  15. Bought this today, £1800 4litre petrol V8 manual It's mental. Well compared to my escort van or Honda CR-V anyway. Done about 50 miles in a quarter tank. Loving it!!!! [emoji12][emoji12][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

  18. Tried making this last night, 1 kilo trimmed lean silverside Soy sauce Salt Pepper Chilli flakes And half a pot of piri piri seasoning Cut thin beef, marinate in sauce, Dry in fan oven for 5-8 hours.

  19. Hell No! I am up for chipping in for the... "Get Spud to build a V2 twin 90cc engined 180cc saw" fund. [emoji3][emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  20. So there goes all the decent huskies. 346,390,395,3120. If the 880 goes too, WTF do you do when you have to buy a new large saw? Ebay????? [emoji47][emoji51]☹️☹️☹️[emoji90]
  21. Big saw 90cc , small bar 20" , shows complete non understanding of wood cutting. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

  23. That trunk would be worth milling if it's not hollow. [emoji106]
  24. Early one morning, I got a tiny piece of privet wedge itself up inside the handle of my 261, keeping it on full revs. Just nicked the cloth of my trousers. Woke me up more than any coffee. [emoji90][emoji158][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
  25. Somewhere between the a20 , a2 and the m25 I drove down tippers lane. Looked like it has been used for years as an illegal tip. Half a mile later someone has tipped a couple ofvtipper loads of bags of cement. In the fecking road. Had to drive over 50m+ Of cement bags. Wish I'd stopped and photographed it. Some people...
