    Decided to pull out an MS200 thats been sitting at the back of the bench broken with a split inlet boot, and make it work again. I dont like having broken saws. So it didnt take long to fix, new inlet boot in place, and put back together. Except now it has a really irritating fault. Before I...

    High Tides And Paddle Boarding.

    Thanks Jim. It's pretty spectacular. The Island of Anglesey is a county and part of Wales. I live on the South side of the island, so my view is all sea and mountains.

    A while back I bought some Carlton / Tiger guide bars from baileys, but never ended up using them. Just recently I've been back at treework so decided to fit one and use it. Stupidly I bought bars with 0.50 gauge instead of 0.58. I can get 0.50 72LPX chain, but is it worth it? is there a...

    RIP a fallen brother

    I heard at the weekend that an old friend was killed in a car accident. He was a tree man, a hardwoods forester and business owner. A superb cutter and machine operator. He survived a tree being felled on him 20 years ago and suffered pains for it ever since. He and I fell out badly over...

    Tree growth habit under wind stress

    Interesting pics. I wonder if Stig knows the location? This old pink house is situated at the old dunes, a few hundred meters from the west coast, a very windy place were there isn’t much that can grow. So the tree can only grow where it has shelter. It has looked this way always. - Marianne...

    Hey Stig, as an old time Martial Artist, whats your opinion of Wing Chun? I've never done any martial arts (always been a boxer and a brawler), and last night went with a friend for a taster session.
