For the same price yiu could build a wooden insulated shed and buy the gubbins for inside. Also all containers rot, either from the inside or out. [emoji106]

Wood burners and indoor polloution
Rough Hewn replied to Saw-sick Steve's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Cutting any rotten log or dry wood produces nasty stuff. Know a couple of guys with permanent fungal lung infections. [emoji107] -

I tell new (young) staff, if I see you on your phone and no one needs an ambulance, it will stay in the van. Top tips for subbing: Bring: Water (lots) biscuits Cake Sarnies Chocolate Flask More biscuits Bog roll. Water proof jacket Filing kit Also get your own ppe, saw and fuel can ASAP. The most difficult thing sometimes is to bring a friendly, positive, can do attitude. But I think you’ve sussed that bit. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Well you can’t get a second hand one?🤪 It’s only on loan mate[emoji106]
-
Yes, But you’ll have to wait 6 weeks for a replacement.

It’s all possible with enough patience. Any pro 90cc saw is more than capable. With a skip chain you could easily run a 42/48” bar on the makita. [emoji106]

Go collect in person. Don’t use a courier.... [emoji106]

Milled up the remaining brown burred oak today. Haven’t had time to bed the 881 in yet, so working with my go to 880+ 60” panther mill. Tried out the Oregon skip chain from Rob.D today. Very impressed at the speed of cutting as well as a decent finish. [emoji106]

60” panther? Go .404 skip or hyper skip. I’m loving both [emoji106]

You can’t cut 72” slabs with a woodlands. Or carry it into the woods/Forest/through the kitchen etc. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

The last 3 paragraphs of this are 100% valid observation. It’s harsh. Especially the older you get. Still wouldn’t do anything else though. 🤪🤪🤪[emoji106]

Slightly upward pressure? Do you mean backwards? [emoji106]

In Britain we use the term “Cross cutting”. Bucking is an American term. The size of bar correlates to the engine power. How big are your logs? [emoji106]

Alkylate petrol (motomix/aspen). There are quite a few threads on it. Basically if you like the exhaust fumes of pump petrol damaging your lungs ,brain etc that’s fine. Personally I prefer to pay a few extra pounds and use something healthier for myself and the environment [emoji106]

Get an 881 on loan if you can from your dealer. Unless you’re climbing with it, It’s so much more than a 661. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I haven’t read the warranty, I’ve no idea. But I’ll ask stihl. Plenty of power for milling[emoji106] Yes it is a great saw for felling and cross cutting medium to large trees. Would have to be a huge tree to climb with an 881. The 30” bar combo is surprisingly well balanced. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Or make a simple wooden drag sledge ?
