@@fadetablack817 I hoe’d it all up, raked as much as practicable out & weed sprayed the garden bed. 12+ months on & only a few pieces have grown then been resprayed 👌

G’day @@CFAinNoVA, no modifications. Stock saw & chain. Sharpened with Stihl 2in1 file.

​@Party-Marty my man 👨 get a mustache and a beer 🍺. You deserve it. Keeping it simple.

@@васяпупкин-у4т Thanks mate 😉 I do try and look after my appearance 👍

@@gunterbecker8528 go the best saw you can afford. If you can get into the pro saw range even better. They’re just built to last, go harder etc. more grunt in reserve is good. Easy to go over the top as each saw model is only a couple hundred difference in price(less than the cost of two ute loads of wood). I’m not too fussed about the weight of a saw as I use a small saw for small wood.

@@gunterbecker8528 g’day mate. I had a ms250 for years. Good saw but yeah a little slow compared to the bigger saws. I haven’t looked at saws for ages so not sure on what to recommend. Mine is a magnum461 with 20” bar. Cuts plenty big wood for my needs. I’d say get the biggest saw in your budget suitable to do the cutting you need. Try going a pro saw. They’re built better & cut faster even though capacity may be similar. Oiling problems often relate to how clean you have things when replacing the chain or basic maintenance. I flip the bar at the end of every day & change the chain over too. Rotating between 3 chains. I only run stihl oils, chains, bar. Everything genuine. Yes more expensive but haven’t had any trouble

Yes but as seen in video - it can get vibrations & shudders going. Far less so with the flexi shat as recommended. I’ve found this too. *I’m not sure what the difference between km94rc & km94r is though.

@@Party-Marty Thanks for the reply. Yes, there is quite a bit of vibration for sure. I’m also not sure of the rc/r difference. I was unaware I had to do this before purchase. Buying an additional drive shaft certainly increases your financial outlay!

@@thesmithsfamily1901 same here. Not until reading the owner’s manual. When I asked my Still dealership - they too hadn’t heard of it but yeah, the flexi shaft makes a difference. Been a few years now & has paid for itself many times over in the jobs it does.

Just order it thru Stihl - shop or online 👍

Been ages since I’ve been out. Wood heater been on a fair bit lately so should replenish what I’m using. Out the back of Erica I did well last season. Few home projects on the go at the moment but. You been out?

Nice Marty. Steer me in the right direction out that way Marty

Nah Marty haven’t been out since November

Might go for a sniff around Sunday morning for some wood. Will look at the designated area maps tonight. Had a Quick Look at them the other day & seems to be the same old areas again 🙄

True but a lot of us only cut every few months & haven’t mastered everything😉 I just like to have a little insurance in case I get things wrong 😁

@@Party-Marty I understand & even if you do it all the time you sometimes get your bar pinched

4-5 rear sets I think 🤷‍♂️ Can you do it? Borrow ya mum’s car & give it a go 👌

@@Party-Marty and the tranny is ok you haven’t blown any trannys have ya?

@@Party-Martybest comment out😂

Hey Jerry, yes I do the same. Several bits of timber under the length of log - helps keep dirt off the log & chain sharp for longer 👌

Back of Erica 👍🪓🪵

The 20” bar was at about it’s limit 😁. I’m glad the middle/bottom was a bit rotten as otherwise that coin wouldn’t have broken off like that 😬

Just needed a little persuasion 😁

I hope you’re going well mate. You still get out prospecting & camping? Been a while since I’ve seen a video of yours

@@Party-Marty I'm 95% ok now, was laid low with a new injury for a couple of months. I'll get out camping in the next month & talk about it.

Yes, Sunday was a great afternoon here 👌. Won’t take much to dry off. All bark was off & maybe the outer 5-10mm had some mushy rot & the parts that were in contact with the ground that had soaked up some moisture. It’s for next year but I’ve bunt a couple bits already just to see.

A man with a chainsaw in the woods what more can u ask for ❤

Thanks Andy 👍 I just looked - it’s a vid from 3 years ago. That timber has been burnt a few seasons ago by now 🔥. I hope you’re going well mate

Hey mate 👋 I went on the weekend for first time in ages. I got a fair supply at home. Fairly slim pickings in this season’s allocated area 😒. I’ll try go out for another sesh this coming weekend n will try film some hey. I hope you’re getting out & doing some cutting too.

Haven’t had much of a chance to be honest

Stihl zip up chaps. Very comfy Double as some degree of snakebite protection

Gippsland Victoria 😁🍻

Still ran pretty good the next morning 🤣

Cheers mate. The last lot I’ve been getting are all off the ground. A few termites near the base of the tree - mainly just under the bark & in the first 1.5cm of timber. Chipped them edges off and got good clean timber. Bit damp towards the base but still very solid 👌

Cheers mate. This is around Tanjil area 🪵🪓

@@Party-Marty good fishing there as well !😉

@@gunterbecker8528 *& gold ⛏️⚖️

I only ever use the Stihl 2in1 file tool. I’ll whip up a little clip how I use it. There’s a few vids up using it that make me cringe 🫣

@@Party-Marty nice I use my file freehand, and a rake ht gauge.

Thanks mate. A decent saw makes the job so much easier 👌

Correct mate. Sometimes from friend’s/family private property but 95% in designated collection areas. Tip - once the season opens, ring your local DELWP office & ask where they’ve been dropping dangerous trees/cutting fire breaks in collection areas. Surprisingly they have been really helpful pointing me in the right direction - solid dry wood where they suggested I go. That load in trailer is some of the wood I’m burning now 👌
