Today's Job...

[gmax]

Gmax you got any spares for the 08s

I have a mate that uses a 08's nice.

It is a nice saw does not rev a lot but it does cut well.

His has some silver duct tape for the hole ..... in the top of the ........ cover ......... for the....... um......pull start... I think

Sorry, I need spares myself, a starter & top cover, I fitted the new rings today compression is now 140 LB, should go higher after a few tanks of fuel.
Not bad saws although stock running 404" chain is a little ambitious.

 

[David (saltas)]

The chain and bar only look wrong cause you know its a 50cc saw

You should try it with the stock .404 it will surprise you

Those things were hire company pigs for years indestructible

Those same motors were used on the post hole diggers so you know they have lots of torque.

 

[MCW]

That's OK, but which one of us is going to own up to being "A Queen" ?

I was young and needed the money.

It was about whether Matt should carry a hatchet or a hammer.

So, how long did you live in Thailand?

 

[NORMZILLA44]

How's that job going Matt? Or have you finished? Not sure if I missed it in youre thread, but what do you do with all the wood, and brush on this Job? Norm...........

 

[MCW]

You should know Randy. You had the Ping Pong Peep Show next to me for a few months. You were my idol and the best shot I've ever seen...

No not finished yet Norm. The property manager is getting a hell of a lot of trees down though with his saw and the 25 tonne excavator that has been there. I doubt upper management would actually agree with what he's doing as the cost of running that excavator wouldn't be cheap. Still a fair few to go but I honestly think he'll get this excavator to hang around for a while and he'll probably end up knocking over more trees than I will.

Everything here is being piled up and burnt. Despite it being green it is actually burning quite well. The wood is honestly not much good for anything. Casuarina spp. are actually an extremely hard (one of the hardest Australian timbers) and is highly sought after for furniture etc. Unfortunately these particular trees and all the trees on the other property have grown that fast that they have lost basically all desirable properties.

 

[RandyMac]

Yeah and I am still disappointed that we weren't able to get that free throw league going. It was entertaining enough, too bad the a/c wasn't up to the task of clearing the air.

hey matt,
i carry a hammer too but I've been looking at hatchets a lot lately. Gransors Bruks makes some incredibly nice hatchets... the wildlife hatchet or mini forest axe would probably be a go'er. Downside (and upside?) is that they can me made sharp enough to shave with. About $180 too, but so nice to use. I used a friends wildlife hatchet a couple times and it was very tempting to just not return it.

More sensible would probably be one of the smaller fiskars hatchets. Just as much weight in the head but a lighter handle, and you wont cry when it gets all ugly. The metal isn't as good as the gransfors, seems a bit soft to me actually.... but they can be made sharp. They're sharp enough(and blunt enough not to cut you) off the shelf to go good for wedge purposes.

I think I'll have to buy all 3
