Many thanks for all the help chaps

Ok thanks for the replies. I'll get a seal ordered and take it to the local repair man.

Radial Seal for Husqvarna 346XP, 353, 545 Chainsaw - OEM No. 597 57 61-01 WWW.LSENGINEERS.CO.UK Overview: This radial seal is a genuine Husqvarna component for petrol chainsaws, designed to keep the engine sealed and running reliably. Made from a tough, oil- and fuel-resistant... Many thanks! Would this be the correct seal before I order one? I'm afraid i've no idea what an AT or a CST is!?! And pardon the dumb question but are they easy enough to fit? I've only done basic maintenance on my saws before.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has an idea what might be wrong with my saw. 550XP mark 2 The first time the saw played up was after a full day of use and it seemed to be revving irregularly and too high. So instead of hitting top revs and being happy it sounded like the rev rate was 'irregular' and it wasn't sounding happy at all. So I started it the next day to see and it ran perfectly...revving correctly and sounding perfect. I used it for a couple of days and it didn't miss a beat........then it did it again after starting and running fine for about 5 mins. Any ideas?

I'm based just south of you. I'd be happy to help out for odd days.

Lucky you! I'd mill it and sell the boards. It isn't very rot resistant but I don't know for sure how it would fair in a building sense. I know that the boards i've milled started to spalt very quickly. It has high value in board form as it basically never comes onto the market. It is wonderful wood for making furniture, chopping boards, wood turning etc...I'd buy some off you. I'd even mill it for a good deal Your oak would be the material for beams - no question.

I've been in touch with them as well and they wouldn't tell me rates of pay.....see ya.

Sir...you are too kind! I've done a few more recently. I will show some pictures in a few days.

Cheers Yes I came to the same conclusion regarding the paint.... I kind of wished I'd left it without.... Anyway I'm going back tomorrow to sort it out and will show some more pictures of the finished article. Yes I'd settled on £275, as it is just a first go and didn't take too long. This carving lark has got my attention and I'm going to try some more carvings. I spent 20 years making traditional bows and have an 'artistic side'....

My paints turned out the wrong shade....so I will be sorting the colours but these pictures should give you an idea.

Absolutely amazing turtle.....like wow....

Love it! You did a good job there....and I've caught plenty of barbel!

horizontal loads.....

If you want to know about tree strength with vertical loads and Kn numbers - slackliners. Hownottohighline on youtube does a lot of destruction testing. I've done a bit of highlining and a spot we use has two 12" oaks for anchors....nobody ever questioned them no second tree needed for redundancy and sometimes 2 lines rigged off one tree.
