safer to get in and out of you can see when its all clear to get out safely and you can fit more cars parked down the street the parallel parkingNsw chaps Pls explain this phenomenon of reversed angle parking for my wife... I myself reckon it makes great sense

I prefer it for parking, not so much for sidewalk cafe dining when a shot of exhaust leaves you holding the breath.Nsw chaps Pls explain this phenomenon of reversed angle parking for my wife... I myself reckon it makes great sense

Not easy to get quota logs in it though, they can look smooth on the outside & still be riddled with grub, it's the only timber I've seen that will easily break out the edge of a axe with the hard interlocked grain.Got a nice load of Grey Gum today. You don't hear much about Australian Grey Gum well on the interwebs anyway??, it's a very sort after hardwood timber for its durability strength and hardness it's up there with Ironbark and the Box family of timber for hardness..
A very heavy hardwood also it's weight comes in at well over 1200 kg a m3.. A pack of QLD sleepers (30 in a pack) weighs about 2.5 tonnes and that's real tonnes = 1000 kg not the American baby ton of 900 kg..
Definitely one of those timbers that no matter how sharp and well tuned your chain is you will get chattering/vibration feed back! .404 shines in this stuff holding an edge! might even wear some paint off your bar through no fault of own haha...

You sure you're going in the right direction?
I need a fatter bottom girl than Dolly.
Looked at a patch of gums that, frankly, scare me a little. Gully seems too steep (fall over and you wont stop rag dolling until you hit the bottom or a tree) to be doing the Swedish stump dance with the 32" on Dolly. So, what would your good selves suggest (money is tight) please?
Wont do anything risky. Just after a saw that'll power and oil a 42" bar or more so I don't have to do too much walking around the tree. Been looking at > 100cc saws but am yet to find something I can afford at the mo'.well thats a hard one with out seeing it it is your life at risk tho
........
I found that I was too comfortable with higher risks on the roads, than was logical so I made a decision one afternoon were I had to much fun and I heard what I was describing to a friend.
I have not ridden for a couple of years now

A lot of sparks came off the chain as well at one stage.Like to see that race, terrific stuff !
Fella nearest camera - rip them a bit deeper, less wood width to split them off later,
they are all bldy quick and well done.
I was on the second billet from the camera, had a shower of embers escape from the exhaust about the third rip. The first time that saw ran properly in many years was 2pm the day before, all I did was ran it enough to get the carb set and made a couple of rips to see if it would cut OK. I never cleaned out the exhaust and many years of carbon and oil build up finally got hot enough to ignite, I thought at first the chain jumped the rails, then I was expecting a fire ball [emoji1] all I did to the saw was removed the grate off of the exhaust and disable the governor, stock standard otherwiseA lot of sparks came off the chain as well at one stage.
My back aches just watching them.
