Hi from Australia

[chop chop]

Hi all , not sure where to put this introduction so if its in the wrong place then please remove.

My name is gary I live in sunny Queensland, I am a complete novice with a chainsaw , I just trim a few branches here and there on our block and cut firewood up once or twice a year .... I was on the net looking for info on my Stihl 190T and came across this website...looks like a great site , hopefully you pro's dont mind part time beginers like me .... I have spent a few days reading different threads and i can see there are many knoweldgable people in here , anyway i hope to get a decent education on chainsaws and meet some good people

Welcome aboard.

Bring some rubber boots, it can get deep in here at times!

Please post pictures of your saw.

Always room for one more, and yes, we love pictures.

Welcome to the sight...there is a world of info to be found here!
As stated above bring your boots to wade through the BS!

Welcome aboard chop chop, if you don`t already own 10 saws then stick around for a while and you most likely will. If you have any sense at all you will run far far away. LOL.

G'Day

G'Day mate, and welcome to AS. This is indeed an awesome site for chainsaw information, but stick around and you'll contract CAD, or Chainsaw Acquisition Disease. Fortunately, there's a cure: more chain saws.

Also, you aren't the only Aussie here; there are a number of regular posters from down under. So maybe you can hook up with them if you need some hands-on advice.

Gary, I recommend you pack up your saw and leave right now before you get suckered in too far. This place is EVIL, the members are zombies and vampires that sit up all night on front of keyboards and monitors suckering in new blood. Before you know it you will be trapped and have wasted great slabs of time and you will develop a crippling (to wallet and mind) chainsaw acquisition disease (CAD) . . . .

Leave now, before it's toooooo laaaaate!

Mr. HE

Naw, you want some tall leather wellingtons, make shure thier waterproofed. it can get pretty roungh too, you want all the protection you can get. so run over to Red Wing shoes now.. I reccomend the 1170s and 2292 loggers lol.

Bob, I don't have CAD yet, and I've been reading this site for quite a while.. Though you will begin to lust over a 390XP

Welcome, and well met!

You will get both here. I haven't been here long, but I already know it's a great neighborhood. Some of the neighbors get a little feisty after a few too many lagers in front of the keyboard, but hey, it's the Internet, and it's easier to ignore Internet fools than fools next door to your house.

You'll run into some the the most knowledgeable saw folks anywhere in here. Lots of great expertise and advice!

 

[belgian]

welcome to a new member from downunder ! Beware of the amercian folks here...they have a lot of sawdust in their boots...LOL.

 

[AUSSIE1]

G'day Gary, welcome aboard mate.

and don't let the North Americans try and tell you your chains aren't sharp after watching a video of you cutting some Red Gum or Box either.
