    It’s true. Iveco’s are better than transits but cost more upfront and more to repair. And I’m a transit driver [emoji106]
  2. Rough Hewn
    What are these figures Robin? Rpm is higher than 10.5krpm on 880. [emoji106]
  3. Rough Hewn
    “Heavily” ported! ??????? I’d like to see that [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

    Buy a transit crew cab tipper [emoji106]

    I just use motomix now in 55litre drums. Yes, I’d like to get a positive pressure mask too. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

    It’s mainly seasoned wood that produces dangerous inhalants, or very rotten wood. Fresh clean logs don’t really produce dangerous sawdust. I’m more worried about the 880/881 next to me pumping out exhaust and a spray of chain oil. I’d probably would have given up if it wasn’t for alkylate petrol (motomix or aspen). Can’t stand pump fuel now. [emoji106]

    I sell to a lot of professional resin table makers. They have either a barn or warehouse with different rooms for each process. [emoji106]

    Might have a London plane 4-5’ x 30’ let me know if you’re interested before I cut it into 10’ lengths [emoji106]

    I don’t. It’s bloody complicated to make a proper resin table. Massive store room of dry slabs Massive workshop Massive router sled table Massive dust extraction system Massive belt sanders Massive clean room dust free fir resin pouring. Massive storage room for finished tables. Not to mention £1000’s of resin,pigments, power tools. And years of cockups, so you know exactly what you can and can’t do. And a market/outlet for really really expensive resin tables. I’ll just cut slabs ?[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

    Robin you sound like a good bloke[emoji106] I cut 99% hardwoods in the uk, But to be honest I try to avoid milling seasoned trunks, only do fresh. I find the teeth can wear down to blunt from a new .404 chain in 2’ of very very seasoned ash. Guy I chat with in Australia uses a 25” bar on his highly modded 880. That’s for forest fire hardened stuff, mentally hard apparently (I believe it?). Have you tried Oregon hyper skip chain? It’s fantastic for really long bars, it does dull quicker but very quick to sharpen. That winch looks interesting, curious to see more [emoji106] Do you ever do any chainsaw milling? That torque would really help [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  11. Rough Hewn
    Robin, do you use the saws yourself? Or are you in sales or a mechanic? Interesting about the 1200’s torque. How would you go about using that increase? [emoji106]
  12. Rough Hewn
    Nothing perfect about only 3 saws[emoji22][emoji22][emoji22]

    261 461 881 [emoji106]

    Ok, the only way to settle this is... A SAW OFF!!!! Where you based robin? I’m in Halifax, but I get about. Let’s meet up, I’ll arrange a massive log, a 3120, an 880 and an 881. We can put an 84” bar on each and see what happens? Saul [emoji106]
  15. Rough Hewn
    Sorry mate, where’s the 3120? The 880 and 881 videos? ??????
  16. Rough Hewn
    120cc vs 95cc great comparison ?[emoji106]
  17. Rough Hewn
    Show the videos please ?????
  18. Rough Hewn
    More bullshit????
  19. Rough Hewn
    Complete bullshit????
  20. Rough Hewn
    Where’s the chain brake?
  21. Rough Hewn
    Why? Which saws?
  22. Rough Hewn
    Round brass wire brush on a power drill. Takes out rot but leaves sound wood. Resin table makers love it. [emoji106]
  23. Rough Hewn
    Yes, but you’d need to do a lot of work first. Get the soil tested, find out seasonal temperature variations etc. Then using that information to choose suitable species. Maybe consider mixing in some native lower canopy species like hazel,holly and yew just to give a bit of shelter and food for local wildlife? Sounds like a fun project. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  24. Rough Hewn
    You’re right bud. Got something in the pipeline..... [emoji848][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  25. Rough Hewn
    Going back in a couple of weeks for another piece and a nice cherry. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
