    Which saw for CSM

    I've had problems with the 660. The bolts that hold the casings on are in silly places. Worse thing is that the spark plug pops out quite regually, only saw i've ever had that does it. I'm usually a Husky user and i've done small log mlling on my 365 and never had any problems.

    Which saw for CSM

    Stick clear of Ebay, i got a half shot saw from there once. It runs ok but its still not the good condition they said it was. Dealers are best as they can look over the saw first, stop you getting a dud. Personally i'd get the biggest you can afford. i got a 660 because it was less than a...

    What rope to you prefer

    Yale XTC+ is my personal favourite. I have XTC+ red and white, spearmint and fire. Personally i like the green one as its just feels different to the other (i know it shouldn't mine just does and its not the only one) I have the red one for a lanyard and the fire as a spilt tail all in one...

    Walnut log 13foot long how much is it worth

    Generally rule good quality walnut is worth a fair bit. If it rotten then is not too good. Do you subscribe to forestry and britsh timber there are some buyers in there. If not i'll post you some contacts. I've sold wood to wood turners before and they pay a fortune for wood. I know a guy...

    drying timber

    Hi all Been playing with my chainsaw mill. Took a fragment of a lighting stuck tree and milled that. It went quite well despite a few technical difficulties: the bar clap moving and hitting two nails. I now have a lovely bit of 20" wide oak 4' long and 2" thick. What are the top tricks...

    Oregon bench chain grinder

    Hi I'm thinking of getting the Oregon bench grinder. My question is it any good? £300 is a fair chunk of money to spend. Will it improve sharpening acuracy does it stay sharp well after grinding. I guess i'm just looking for some feed back from owners of the grinder Thanks Andy

    Husky 353 or 346XP

    346xp is the king of the mid range saws. Great air filter system great Anti vibration system. I like them i have 2 one with 18" bar and one with a 15" bar. I did have a 3rd one but i scored the piston up on that. The 250 and the 260 are no were as good as it. Might cost a chunk more than...

    Getting a mill

    Hi I've recently got myself a MS660 to do the odd bit of milling with. The 3120 and 880 were a significat chunk of cash more which is why i settled for the 660. I'd like to get a 36" Mk3 alaskan mill. My question is how does one attach it to the bar? is it a drilling job or does it clamp...

    new climbing knots?

    I use a blakes to get into the tree but once there i love the VT for movement within the tree. Add a micro pully with it and it makes for the best limb walks ever. I'd use it on the way up if i could get the hang of caputring a few body thrusts rather than one and the odd angle the rope leaves...

    scored piston

    Nope thats the cylinder as i got it. I picked the saw up for 200 quid second hand, it ran really well at first then it ran lean and ended up fubar'd. Hows the best way to go about restoring the piston? Where can i get the right hone or even an after market piston in the UK.

    scored piston

    Got some better shots of the wear on the pison upon better inspection (halogen light) there is wear on both sides intake and exaust. Thats the exaust side That one is intake side So that is shot right? The clinder looks ok though, normally don't they both go?

    scored piston

    There is some scratches and the wearing off of the top coat of shiney stuff on the front of the piston. Basicly its in line with the exhasut port about 1/2" long. So i guess its toast.
