  1. I,m gonna get back to my mango____shake 🥤 😉
  2. Err 1st pic… maybe shows it 😉
  3. Eerrr, my mate can use a 30” bar. But remember those legs are not designed for to much weight, what is it logosol state ? Is it 1 tonne ? but this log is about 1.5 tonne
  4. I don’t think it was you, as I was referring to this thread below.. I’m with you, I understand a little more than some do. As you can see my reply in that thread. there was very good reasons why I was like I was. I was going to write why, but it’s way too personal for a public forum
  5. Where’s that thread from a few yrs ago..where some folk just don’t understand the feeling…. And think you can just snap out of it 🤔 I with ya, ride it out bro, It can be a long bumpy ride…😉👍
  6. I got one early October from L&S, looked good to me, and look at the junk I took off 🙄. No wonder it would not run very well.
  7. I'll add this here for reference, it’s worth a read if you haven’t seen it. You can then make your own informed choice 👍😉
  8. Nah the stihl one, I only use the hardwood setting, edit.. I only use this on all my chains whatever make of chains my advice would be get a new chain sharpen it and then use this tool and see the difference it makes. As the tooth gets smaller you may only have to file the depth gauges a few times and you already have the correct angled ramp. It sucks doing it to an older chain as there’s a lot of filing ( to get the correct ramp angle) and only a small bit of tooth left Depth gauges - For manual reworking of the depth gauge WWW.STIHL.CO.UK For manual reworking of the depth gauge. Made from hardened steel with special coating. Two settings for...
  9. You get a bit less hook as the tooth gets smaller ie the file is sitting higher, just take it out the file holder (if you use one) and file down a bit in to the gullet. So you get a bit more of a C shape when you view it from the outside of the tooth. theres always other ways to do something, you just have to know them and try them. personally, I use a progressive depth gauge, and It changes the way the tooth angle meets the wood, but I also use a file holder and I take it out of the holder at times 😉👍
  10. Seems like there now on the stihl.de web page and €9 sumthing per file 😳… Hexa Feile für die STIHL Sägekette Rapid Hexa kaufen | STIHL WWW.STIHL.DE STIHL Hexa Feile für Rapid Hexa Sägeketten: schnelles & einfaches Nachschärfen ✓ 6-Kant Form ✓ ➤ Jetzt online... at that price it’s for idiots or 🤡, 🤣 Cos that’s around a tenner a file…
  11. I think a few of you may learn something in this vid poasted today.🤣
  12. I'll add this here . So you can hear for yourselfs it been up for about 9hrs https://youtu.be/JofeTyCNZUI
  13. From his link 😉 Philip Walker is searching for the last piece of timber to complete this beautiful structure in his Petersfield studio
  14. from what I’ve been told, it also attracts beetles as the tree is damaged. So therefore supposed to help reduce other trees getting the beetles. I’m wondering about the high DED infection rate in coldean lane, especially as they had just taken out a load of ash trees, (ash die back). So was it partly down to damaged elm trees during the ash removal ? and Yes the elm do produce viable seed, there are quite a few in the woods on the other side of the valley,
  15. This pic taken a day later (28 July), and added in with the email sent with the other tree. I guess trees in full view at the side of the road count towards the council taking action, but using connick tree care as they got one of the contracts If you inquired about brightons council own arb team, you'd understand they don’t stay in the job long at 20/25k pa… it’s really a joke as we got the uk's elm collocation iirc connick pay cir 30k pa edit I could be wrong with the Priority of trees and who gets to fell them and the timeframe
  16. I took this pic on the 27 july. A wk later I emailed Brighton council arb. But a day later there was a DED notice on it.. so I sure there not that quick on response ding to my email. Look at the top of the pic [1”o”clock] Within 2 months it’s been taken down. As well as a few other trees that I’ve seen with ded. I’ve got board reporting as you would be very lucky to even get an acknowledgement let alone of being correct… anyhow, ive seen and reported two other trees in a similar time frame in a woodland not far from this pic and they are still standing (completely dead) they’ve been marked up ( spray paint on the path, muddy path, now washed away) and no reply to my email)
  17. This tree looks very similar to a tree just down the road from me. I,m guessing from the time of the original post to now it’s already to late for the tree. DED has had a good yr in Brighton, i'. Guessing it’s to do with the national Covid holidays last yr that gave those Beatles a good head start. 🤔🙈
  18. Let me stick this right in here. 😉. It was done a while ago buttt……. it may answer a few questions etc..but it may not answer all of them 🧐 although this guy is pretty good at myth busting.. hopefully he’s done the follow ups to answer some of your other thoughts 👍
  19. 👍😉 24 this morning at sunrise till 7am, some big ones as well, IMG_2415.MOV
  20. I'm not sure I follow your thinking, when in another thread. “Eddie@aspen” says you may need to. See below for quote. So I would have thought the reverse would be needed..or no adjustment. anyhow look at what garden kit says..
  21. I just read through this, it’s all about pl insurance, and being qualified. if you were a company, and had all the rams set up. I bet you’d get the green light to crack on. Edit. Voluntary of course..🤔
  22. I got the lot up to 7.5 + a trailer 750kg bloody grandad that I am… but they think (eu ?) every Tom dick and Mary cant drive for toffy But were not all the same I tell you.. , and those stuck up law money grabbing buggers that think we’re all the same and want more gravy train courses to fund the wealthy entrepreneurs.. this place is/ has gone down the drain.. btw I will refrain on comment in other threads That I deem to political 🤔 Edit…. I forgot to say about the Sharon's and Karen’s that can’t even reverse a car into a double parking space.. so it’s true we’re not al, the same. Thank goodness 👍👊

    Chain oil

    I think discussing bar oil is like being in the pub and talking to others about beer. And also talking to those that drink lager, “it’s beer isn’t it ?” I just buy what I like. it’s my saw that serves the bar. pun intended 😉 anyhow carryon, I’ll sit here and sipping my real ale from a contraption that’s ment to sever lager. And very nice it is. 😂
  24. I bet They will blame it on Covid as well, seem like everything else has been
