the all aussie dribble thread!

[MCW]

Hey I found out something interesting today that I was completely unaware of. My grandpa was a Pioneer chainsaw dealer in Bundanoon/Bowral (NSW) back in the early days. Waddayaknow...

yet to test against nations bests.

Well I told you Dean to test it against the nation's best you'll have to come for a drive to South Australia. I'll line up some Black Box cants with termite chimneys up the middle.

I might paint it brown :msp_biggrin:

Remember to paint some corn kernels on it.

Did you use the correct file or did you use one of matties Cutty Cutty long time race tm chains. Oh silly me, the Ozito's rated HP and chain speed would not agree with those chains.....:msp_sneaky:

My chains are that sharp Neil that a 0.1HP saw will still be able to hold 11,500rpm in the cut.

I tried one of Matts chains once and it cut pretty good but I could never get the same acute angles after I sharpened it - and then it hardly cut at all (I'm thinking that may be part of Matts business strategy...) Oh hi Matt if you are reading this, hope you are having a great day and all

You're exactly right Rudy. I will resharpen that chain for $450 + GST if you'd like.

Plus I get my 12" chains for $5 each from my buddy Hung Lo in Shanghai. Pretty cheap cutting over all.

So you're the bastard undercutting my race chains on eBay? I knew you'd sneak in the back door and find my chain source in China...

hum a few bars

This was never the way I planned, not my intention.
I got so brave, saw in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on.
I'm curious for you, caught my attention.

I rocked chain and I liked it
the sound of steel on concrete.
I rocked chain just to try it,
I hope my saw don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so blunt.
Don't mean I'm in love tonight.
I rocked chain and I liked it (I liked it).

No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter.
You're my experimental game, just human nature.
It's not what loggers do, not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused, hard to obey.

Us guys we are so magical,
Soft wood, red sparks, so rock-able.
Hard to file, so grind-able.
Too good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal, it's chain.

[David (saltas)]

these two are now gone

had to wait for the home owner (read cheap baby sitter) to clear away the last lot

the big one I put a face cut in six feet up and then went next door to hammer the wedges in as it was hard up against the fence.

cutting above shoulder height some thing even a soft as a palm that is 30" diameter sucks.

There was a large dog and only a five foot high ARC mesh gate between me and the dog.

So I was sweating, scared of the dog, getting exhausted, the bar gets pinched and I cant wedge it out and now the audience starts turning up.

There is a witnesses in each back yard as I pound the wedges and keep hold if the stuck saw with my left hand while balancing half on a ladder and half on the fence.

The audience starts giving me tips......... I mean the ####s.

pound pound pound and over it goes.

nearly had the saw ripped from my left hand.

note to self that is the third time I have so high and each time it was stress full.

pack up and go home the back leaner can wait.

And here I had you pegged as a Union boy.

Stevie Wong from the local t/away at the Bowling Club sounds just like that, saw him this morning after giving the keg room coolroom system the a/ok after a bloody callout at 10:00 last night while all dressed up after a little show.

 

[David (saltas)]

take two the back leaner

OK I start bucking up the one I dropped Saturday and f it all I rock the chain on a besser block that I cant see that was pushed into the ground.

I should have wondered why 30" palm was cracked but I did not.

new chain on

mate with a cruiser and warn winch turns up.

we talk about how to set up around the corner with the Ute and use a pulley on the winch rope off a post so the palm cannot hit the Ute but also to have enough landing space.
climb the extension ladder and hook up about 30 feet up.

Set a snatch strap and a rope with truckies knot to the base just above the cut.

start the first cut of Humboldt face cut bar jams.
the fcuk???
look over to the cruiser and brad is smiling as he releases the tension, smile back (prick)

finish the face and look over to the cruiser and give brad the nod that I am about to do the back cut.

I start and stop as it starts to creak only about one and a half bar widths in I look up it is getting close to vertical now. I look at the cruiser brad is focused and not Fing about.

I look at the hinge it is too thick but it is starting to give.
I start cutting some more.
Head swiveling like the head of one of those toys on the dash.

Palm lands on top of the last one.

I love it when a plan comes together!

The base of cut lands four feet from the stump even though it was three feet from the ground.

OMG.

Better than kicking back and beating up me and the fence.

Palm lands in the right yard.

This was so much better than cutting up high just so there was enough room for the back swing of the hammer.

Jacking would have worked but palms are too soft in the middle.

I was too sore to tack photos today

I had to have the wife rub me down with voltarin before I started

Yeah I was at the chinese takeaway shop the other day and I was greeted very enthusiastically in "Australian" but in an very strong Chinese accent. Took me a moment to process but then I realised :msp_biggrin: funny.

 

[David (saltas)]

CHEAP 18 volt tools and more

on a side note

I just realized that I had shared some information with matt but not the rest of you.

I have purchased makita Lion 18 volt tools from company on the bay that is

based in OZ

does free delivery in OZ
I have bought from these guys multiple times in the last three years no dramas and as best as I can tell also the cheapest.

PM me for info as I do not want to break the rules.

I've got a funny one from our local Chinese takeaway. They're a great couple too but a bit dodgey on the English.
When I was at Landmark I'd ring them every now and then if I had an office day and order lunch. They'd ask "How long will you be?". I'd say "10 minutes".
Every time I'd arrive they hadn't started my meal yet (normally noodles) and the male owner would have a stunned look on his face and go into a panic starting to whip up my lunch. This happened about 10 times in a row and I was starting to wonder whether time in China is different than time in Australia.
Anyway one day I've rang them again and walked on in and the male owner goes into a panic again. His wife sees me, looks at the logo on my shirt, and says to her husband "No no no. Matt from Landmark, not Matt from Renmark!!!".
The husband had thought I'd been saying Renmark which is a town a good 20 minutes away and he couldn't believe how I kept getting there in under 10 minutes. From then on my meal was always ready at the 10 minute mark.

The audience starts giving me tips......... I mean the ####s.

Mate. I hate audiences who are experts. I've even had them start flapping their gums when everything is actually going to plan as well.
The classic was when a local chainsaw "guru" assumed I would have used a saw such as a Stihl Farmboss for all of these Casuarinas. He seemed a bit disappointed when I told him I'd only have cut half as many in the same time if I'd have been using a Farmboss. I dare not have used the term ported pro saw as that would have confused him even more.

Was your cheap one telling you that the Chinese 070 I gave you was pulling 90psi? If so then there's no need to buy a decent comp guage. It's spot on.

Good price Wayne?

I think my Stanley could be a bit sus too, we'll see what the difference is when I get a snapon someday.

Dear Rick.
How can looks alone determine the quality of an item?
