  1. The bar mount is larger on the 881 than the 661 I am pretty sure. I think you would need a GB bar or maybe sugi hara with the different oil hole options on it. As above I would check with Rob D at Chainsawbars.
  2. That looks smashing! Really nice use of the timber. 👍
  3. Had a look at your post in woodcraft. Nice. 👍
  4. I think it’s about 3 weeks out here too. but after a few miserable grey wet days there’s a bit of blue sky and sunshine and blossom starting. 👍
  5. Sounds cracking. Would like to turn some of my milling into something special. 👍
  6. Nice! I’m guessing you have joined a few sections to make it that wide?
  7. I imagine it’s possible to put a 3/8 sprocket on it and change bar and chain. I have used my 3/8 lo profile bar and chain on my 881 with the right sprocket.
  8. Love the table. Is it pine? By the looks you’ve got the timber you need to finish it off though. 👍
  9. Coast Redwood that must be nice looking timber. One of these days I will have to get a decent Walnut log and mill that just for the pleasure of seeing those fantastic colours. any pictures of the redwood you milled?
  10. I have fairly recently had a fair bit of scots pine to mill up with some trees down on the estate. Milling the pine with a chainsaw mill was a bit of an experience as it is quite different to milling hardwoods. However it is quite satisfying to be able to use the pine for different things around the estate including tree stakes and making as many of my own stickers as I need. Places I have asked to buy stickers from in the past have wanted £1.40 per sticker. While I am not too concerned about having pressure treated stakes as they only need to be in the ground for 12 months or so, having to buy tree stakes rather than just making my own is also quite a good cost saving. Along with that, getting sales from the timber is also a good bonus and I am continually surprised at how far people will travel to come and buy milled timber boards.
  11. Nice mate. Are you going to mill into boards or a mix of things?

    Porting

    Seems to make quite a difference. I wouldn't mind getting a couple of saws ported one of these days. 👍 I suppose the question is what's the budget.
  13. Quite right. I was thinking that but, thought it still sounded early. 👍
  14. Most petrol machines will do fine out in the rain seemingly. Its just the electronics that don't like it much. 👍
  15. Yeah it’s a glass fuse I think it’s 2amp or something and not sure if it’s a slow blow fuse. But not in any hurry to repair it. I just use the slow charger and it’s been fine for at least 2 years. 👍
  16. Yeah had it about 3 years before it stopped working. I have a feeling the battery terminals got wet doing work on a rainy day and must have blown it.
  17. Not sure about that problem. My QC330 stopped working completely. There is a small fuse inside that is soldered to a PCB. Haven't got round to changing it out to see if that helps. Were the batteries just used and still warm? Sometimes on quick chargers they spend a bit of time running through a cool down period when a battery goes on charge that has just been used. Might not be anything but that is all I know.... 👍
  18. A few of the waterfowl in good light.
  19. Saw a group of 3 drakes and 1 hen running about on the lawn earlier today.
