Couldn't pay me enough to do another one of those evil bastids. Two weeks of agonising denial leading to two days on a drip in hospital as the body found a way to deal with the spike fragment lodged in a big toe joint. Never, ever again.

Plastic chainsaws are the go for sure

 

[chippy]

The fibres wrap around everything and load up the saw and try and bend the crank.....plus they're kitties when it comes to working safely....the dead fronds hanging down can form beards of thick heavy matted rubbish and you really need to use SRT to get above em to trim them....if they let go and you're under them your as good as dead.

If you are in Williamstown North, around 60 Chelmsford St, there is a palm there on the north side in the car park of a factory with a 1+ tonne beard on it that will come down soon....

Just had a day at the beach that started with a single baptism and finished with a bit of sunburn all-around

While trying to play beach cricket with a Esky lid and then a pool noodle squirter until it was realized that the boot hadn't been emptied add I had this there, leather gloves as the grim on a old 25"E bar with tape on the rails and noise

and it closes up on the bar you got to force it through

yup oddly strange **** to predict how it will close out the cut when should open?? wont cut one way but will the other and this changes as you work the log length and yes he fronds can land a spike but i worked enuff of these to know how to handle still got a jab or 2 but nuthin to bad was clean not much sap goo gunk so no harm to saw just worked me...

lbw howzat! go the hat trick

 

[postrip]

On a more serious note.....
I was pretty pleased with receiving this mug, back in 2000/2001.
Overall pass of 89%, had only been in the small engine repair game for 3yrs

Actually the laminated bar worked really well, A little boy said was a bit heavy but he still swung it well.

Alas no hat trick a few of them sat around unsportingly, so it was more of a hit around on the soft sand
