    New Saw Advice

    If you want to mill you'll need a bigger saw. 90cc would be a minimum engine. You would be able to cut 28" wide with a 36" bar and mill. For £700 you could get a second hand stihl 661 or husqvarna 395 You'll also need a couple of ripping chains and a couple of crosscutting chains. [emoji106]
  2. Another vote for Chainsawbars.co.uk [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  3. That's awesome. What a stack of timber, to cut, in one day on your own. Great job James [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  4. What price for the lt15wide? [emoji106]
  5. Can you imagine spending years building a new Saw, as a manufacturer. And then handing it to the public....???[emoji106]
  6. Half a million vehicles on British roads during ww2 ran on wood and coal gasifiers. [emoji106]
  7. You're right. Found it [emoji106]
  8. Got a link or a screenshot? For the personal account bit. [emoji106]

    Granberg ripping chain and stihl RM but I prefer stihl RS [emoji106]
  10. You do. Or you're not a business. According to my bank. FFS [emoji849]
  11. Does anyone understand this? Has anyone applied? [emoji106]
  12. If anyone needs deer culling, I know a very good guy. Old Skool tree guy, ex royal marine. Knows what he's doing. Licensed and insured to the hilt. Message me for contact details. [emoji106]
  13. It's a weight thing isn't it. Plastic is very light. Look at all the components which have been changed from metals. Echo are a decent Saw manufacturer. They sell several very reliable models. Like every chainsaw manufacturer though there are duff models or components. [emoji106]
  14. They put a fire reducing agent in it sometime late 70's early 80's. It still fizzed though. Then one day I got hold of some proper stuff. That was the last pop/fizz/boom I ever made. Scared the bejeezus out of myself. Ahhhh the good old days [emoji13][emoji95][emoji298]️[emoji91][emoji849][emoji106]
  15. Your great grandad sounds like my dad! ??? I know what that wet dry boom stuff is too![emoji106] By the age of 11 I had to stop playing fizz pop. Got a bit too good at it. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]???[emoji106] These days you'd be had up under anti terrorist laws, but back then it was called "chemistry experiments" [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  16. But these college courses are 8 weeks full time! What else is there to learn about trees if you've done the course and got all the tickets? [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]????[emoji12]
  17. It's not a simple build it and go. Different species, thickness, grain, character...........etc All have different drying preferences. [emoji106]
  18. I spent a couple of months doing the homework with a mate who wanted a big bandsaw. I've not used one, but compared to every mill I've looked at, They are better priced for starting with a skeleton model and then adding professional level upgrades. [emoji106] (I can see a "which kiln" thread coming soon?[emoji106])
  19. Real nice looking setup there mate [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  20. A 500i would do that job better than a 391 [emoji106]
  21. Logosol b1001. After looking at the spec on these, 14hp HM130MAX 76cm 18hp B751PRO 65cm 23hp B1001 90cm Next year I might upgrade to a bandsaw... Might... I'd like to skip the entry level for something a bit more professional. A wider cut is very important. [emoji106]
  22. Wild guess here... Looks like someone landscaped the area? Tree doesn't look right. Looks buried. Air spading is pretty straight forward. It's deciphering the roots that's the clever bit, which ones can be cut, which ones can't. You may have to go several feet down if the ground has been raised. [emoji106]
