Sorry mate but seen all that waaaaaay too many times

We need to swap stories over a beer sometime

Must say SWMBO was good afterwards, took the judging in her stride as she knew most of the judges didn't know what the hell they were looking at.

Just tell the girls they have to make the test so good the judges can't ignore it anymore and end up throwing marks at them, meanwhile you get back to work and keep cutting !

That's nice! I thought you said the wood was hard? :msp_sneaky:

I think I need to go on holiday to Australia next year and sneak off to see some cutting done! You sure got an awesome thread here and seems like lots of work with lots of toys!

Find him some dead Yellow Box and give him a loop of square ground

 

[Stihlman441]

Ya and a dozen files.

Hey that happened to me once, its the last time I use vodka to dilute my bar oil in winter.

 

[deepsouth]

We'll send him on tour.

Start in Vic, then over to Matt in SA, if he survives Snowtown, then a quick lap of Tassie with moi, then back to NSW, and then if he's been bad he gets sent to McBob :msp_wink:

Lots of hardwood to play with there :msp_biggrin:

I run round tooth chains 99% of the time even, only got 2 chains with square tooth So I'm already used to that

Perfect starting plans here to start a holiday camp!
A few weeks long:
-testing out chainsaws and chains in really tough wood
-some filing lessons for the ones that want one
-big @ss bonfire at the evenings with some vodka to end the day
-throw in some nice milling days

This is what im talking about Oak on the top Yellowbox at the bottom.:msp_scared:

[Mastermind]

That damn oak is like pine to that yellow box.

Wow.

 

[Typhke]

This is what im talking about Oak on the top Yellowbox at the bottom.:msp_scared:

I recognize that movie, seen it a while ago, that's a nice comparison. I was just joking but I would love to try some Aussie hardwoods in the future.

The density of yellowbox when dry would be around 1100 kg/m³ while the European oak is around 750 kg/m³ so that says enough. The switch for me from oak to yellowbox would be the same as from our local softwood to oak. But that's just more run time! :msp_biggrin: Keeps you in shape!
