A stihl 021c for 50euro in 2006 Made in 95, it was ragged. Buy with new chain it cut so much quicker than a bow saw. 3 months of coppicing later, I bought a stihl ms440. Best saw I've ever used. What was your first saw?
-
My first saw... Should be a thread.
-
Hmmmm. Not sure that's true. Been rolling in ivy since I was a kid.

If you can cut the rootball off, you get a better idea of value. Might be hollow. If it is solid, with generous heartwood and good grain and colour then £5-£10 per hoppus foot is a fair price.
-
Walnut sapwood is almost worthless, you wouldn't want to buy a 30" tree with only 10" of heartwood. Can't value the wood until felled. Even then... And don't forget the price for kiln drying after you've seasoned it,with stickers, for 2 years. Inside, in a properly ventilated store. And transporting it to and from the kiln people.

A few years back got called in by a gardening firm to quote on felling and clearing, then fencing off a bit of land out the back of a house. About a half acre in central hove. As we were walking round surveying it, several neighbours came out to ask what we were doing. We explained, then they informed us it was a communal garden, offering to show us plans etc. Turns out the client was a big property firm who was trying to do a land grab. Walked away.

Kenny Everett! Spitting image! Wouldn't get produced in this age.

Don't buy a cheap Chinese one as they are faaaaaaaaaar from accurate.
-
Yeah and wait 12 years without anyone counter claiming. For a one tree job that's a lot of effort. [emoji12]
-
In all my years cutting, I've only had one guy really try it on. After a few weeks of not paying, I found calling his landline at 5 am everyday to remind him worked a treat. [emoji106]
-
There are exemptions for felling licences ie: chestnut coppice.

That's an 070/720 In the photo

Mmm tasty. [emoji106]

On eBay from £50. Heavy, underpowered and likely to kick back. Without a chain brake it's illegal on site.

Put it in a museum.

Prevailing wind direction? Does it work better on a still or windy day? Have you tried burning kindling for an hour to heat the whole chimney, Increasing airflow?
