Cheers to everyone giving advice. It least I haven't opened up a (jerry) can of worms ! ?

Thanks guys. Appreciated.

Hi everyone. I've been trying to source via the web about how much petrol (if any) you can fill up a 20 litre metal jerry can from a petrol station, and also transported once filled in my car for domestic use, ie. chainsawing. I know it's a lot of petrol but it would be stored in a horse shed in a field in a rural area, as and when needed for the chainsaw, rather than frequent trips into the nearest town. Would anyone know of how much petrol you can fill up a 20 litre jerry can? Thanks

I had never anticipated how much discussion I would create by asking about chainsaw gloves, but it's certainly proved a healthy topic. My (Scots) clan motto is- Touch not a cat but a glove. Maybe it needs changed to touch not a chainsaw but a glove? ?

I've made 3 log sheds, from mainly pallets and other recycled wood. Pallets are ideal as they are ( all in cm's) 100 x 120 x 10 in size and they already allow a nice draft to come in between the slats for the wood stacked. The additional benefit is everyone in the supply chain to builders use them, and from professional and personal experience, pallets end getting stacked up and most businesses if you politely ask will be happy to off load you some pallets for free. I've included photos of my different creations to give you ideas. The first log shed which I call my Mk I is basic. My MK II log shed is on the Instructables website ( type in: pallet log shed ), and it consists of two doors at either side to allow rotation of the stacked stored wood. The log shed is about 7 foot high. My most recent log shed MK III is long and low, however the roof opens up to reduce strains on your back when bending down ( with your knees) and better access. If you have the time, can get hold of free pallets and don't mind spending £20 - £30 on nails etc it's far cheaper than buying a log shed. Happy building ?

Thanks for all the good advice, it's really appreciated. I treat the chainsaw with the utmost of respect. I wear all the PPE from head to toe, and I'm on my 3rd set of gloves. I have seen people as well in shorts and t-shirt and trainers using a chainsaw and it beggers belief people don't think about the correct PPE. Thanks again.

Hi ladies and gents, I'm a newbie to this site so if I have posted in the wrong forum please let me know. I'm not a professional chainsaw user but use a Husqy 435 for cutting up deadwood and logs for firewood from my brother-inlaw's forest for myself. I don't climb trees and keep my feet firmly on the ground. I've gone through quite a few chainsaw gloves and I am wondering for advice for the best possible chainsaw gloves that offers the highest class of protection. I have seen these: Arbortec AT900 Expert Chainsaw Gloves I appreciate everyone has their own preferences. Thanks Andy
