Wife's a secondary teacher, nobody she knows in education can see how to open a school without just passing the virus round. Overall the teachers are pretty resistant to being exposed to all those kids. The idea of opening reception classes is even more bonkers, no primary school can contain headlice transmission let alone the virus with the amount of snot and phlegm in the average primary classroom. Ah remember those days fondly...

Really? You may well be right but if that's the real answer I'm disappointed, you would be reusing the guide beam so the second time you can't tell if the lines are new or not.

I think you have to decide how serious you are about the milling, because the ideal saw for milling is as big as possible (3120 or 880), but you started out looking for a saw for a 20" bar it will be too heavy for that. For your budget this is less than £600, no autotune, and 78.5cc: Makita EA7900P45E Petrol Chainsaw 18″ WWW.RADMORETUCKER.CO.UK If you get a 36" low profile bar you can mill with that, it just won't cut as fast as a bigger saw. For my money I suspect the 390 is a bit big for the 20" bar and not really big enough to be serious about milling so not worth stretching the budget. Someone else will say get the 390 while you can, they don't make them any more. Flip a coin, both good saws.

It is, I agree. I don't know anything about cant hooks but at the beginning the op said Stihl had discontinued one. A few years ago I was buying a maul and liked the look of the Stihl one but it was discontinued. Found it was made by Ochsenkopf and bought one off amazon.de as it was quite a bit cheaper. It seems Ochsenkopf is a brand within Gedore so yes could be Logrite painted yellow, might be why it's so expensive.

market for used stump grinder teeth?

Spectrum Plant sharpen green teeth. Found earlier post from Mark Bolam. -

Dan Maynard replied to Thesnarlingbadger's topic in Large equipment
I would have thought one of the tool sharpeners could do them for you, especially as you've got enough to make it worth setting up. I can remember someone having a sharpening service for Green teeth for about £3 a tooth but can't remember who. -
I know some of the Stihl stuff is Ochsenkopf but painted orange instead of yellow. Ochsenkopf 1980998 OX 59-1500 Alu turning hook WWW.GEDORETOOLS.CO.UK Weight 4540 g 2 Sale Unit = 1 Pce...

Here's a couple of theories: 1. Bit of grip when you lift up on the saw handle which makes it press down there. When you lift to drag they skid. 2. By having those bits touching the timber it makes a more definite contact which makes the jig more stable. Personally I'd have a go at using it before grinding them off, you can then grind them if you think they are annoying.
-
I think that one isn't right, Stihl size code is a single number so should just have 3 not 3/8. This is genuine, bought from Stihl dealer. +1 for Rob at chainsawbars, sorted me chains next day last week.
-
If you are thinking of milling at some point I would avoid the 562 and then Makita/Dolmar 7900 is the best value for money within your budget. In my opinion.
-
Maybe need that with a firepit that can't move, mine is low and round so we can just move to the side which isn't smoky.
-
I don't think the big cast iron would crack, as being thin it can flex to absorb the expansion - especially if you build a brick hearth. Some of the scout camps I've stayed at make you have fires in half oil drums, these are quite rubbish for sitting round because they reflect all the heat upwards so I like your idea to turn the dish, it'll make a lot of difference. I would try it out though, I'm trying to imagine what the smoke will do and maybe will be fine if you don't turn it too much.

Home schooling - anyone else had a bit of a shock??
Dan Maynard replied to Squaredy's topic in General chat
I missed all this, was outside having a beer by the fire pit. I am confused though what with Vera Lynn being 103. And I wondered what the French VE day celebrations were like? Anything going on in rest of Europe? -
Found that really interesting. This is just the kind of advice/information that I think the government should be publishing so that we can learn about the virus from reputable sources. I was thinking about doing arb work while reading, it would seem that riding in a van together is much more the risk area than whilst outside, and transmission through touching ropes etc while rigging is possible but unlikely. Have others found similar articles?
-
I didn't see any when I just had 38. I think in domestic arb aerial rescue is undervalued and in many cases a bit theoretical.
-
No, it's not a nimble quick saw like the 346. If the 346 is like a sports car the 112 is more like driving a landrover, slow, heavy but pulls and pulls.
-
Even so, having used a 346 and owning a 112 the old Dolmars are very solidly built - quite a bit heavier for the same cc.
-
Especially Kent, for biomass.

I did 38 over 5 days, 39 is only 2 (both 1 day assessment added on). The 39 was no climbing instruction, just cuts, work positioning and a bit of spiking. It helped me that I'd done it separately as then I had done enough climbing practice that I could confidently get up the tree and concentrate on the saw.
-
Use a bounce back loan? I'm sure you thought of that, not sure I'd want to do it either?
-
My opinion 30/31 are a set, then you are useful and should start getting out to work even if the rate isn't what you want. Do them anyway, if you are working around farms and smallholdings it will stand you in good stead. Having 38 won't make you any more useful/money really and it's not a lot more to do 39. Once you have 38/39 you can be second climber and then maybe get a little more money.
-
No I was just thinking if you could pop the top off in a oner it would be quick and easy, much less to chip than taking the whole thing down. If you have to dismantle the top with chucking it out sideways it's a pain compared to stripping from the bottom up. Either way if keeping half the tree saves a bit of money it's a win all round.
-
That's a good idea actually, I like that. Would it be cheaper though? I think it depends if there is room to fell the top?
-
Or a bandsaw mill, stand a load of rings up on end and set the cut height to 250 from the bed. Expensive for firewood?
-
Remove the pop instead then, probably fall apart sooner anyway.
