Thread: Ive finally done it

Buy one online Tim.

Forum member "sawchain" sells chainsaw stuff online and his prices are very nice, drop him a message. I buy my Lucas slabbing chain and c/s chain from him

Yeah might have to, just have to fly back up to work Monday was hoping to get it done by then so the thing doesn't check to much might be a bit hotter in a couple of weeks. Thanks for all the help guys

Is he still selling - I sent him an email about 6 months ago but have not had any reply.

Hi, here is one from a seller on ebay, it doesn't come with a chain though. He does stock a large range of chains etc. which you could get at the same time to save on postage.

30'' PRO Chainsaw Chain Guide BAR 3 8'' FOR Husqvarna Sprocket Nose NEW | eBay

I just bought a 28" bar and chain from him yesterday for my Husky 372XPG, I chose him because the guy is quite knowlegeable about the various chainsaws.

You could in the meantime just slice the top of it off and then roll it on the side and that would narrow the width of the log a bit.

Cheers

Found a 32" at power equipment in welshpool. Going to grab it this arvo, already added a 42" gb bar to the wishlist must save up some dollars for that one. Thanks for all the online suggestions but ill support the locals this time. Definitely worth getting a stack of chain online though save a fortune. Ill post a few more pics tomorrow if the weather is kind

Can't recall exactly when Bob, but my last 3 chain purchases where all from Laurie. I've got his number and email (in case its changed from what you've got) if you want to PM me.

Nice!!
You just can't beat that feeling when you slide a slab off and see fresh grain.
I eyed every tree with with a sneaky look on my face after the first.

Happy cutting

Andrew

nice colour in that timber in the first couple of pics. makes me wish i had my own chainsaw as i hame made most of a slabbing attachment for a chainsaw looks just like the one in pic 3 at the end

Well went out and cut my first slab by myself, must say its definitely alot easier with two on the job. Although im thinking it may have been a blunt chain also after I got halfway lots of charcoal on the outside of the log. Next time im definitely doing my best to get rid of as much charcoal as I can. Anyway a couple of pictures.

Yeah the chainsaw is definitely the expensive part of milling and the grain was just stunning in this one. Im thinking ill make an entertainment unit out of it.

Good stuff mate

How long should I be looking to season this stuff for? Its been dead over 27yrs and cut at 2" thick and 1" thick. Also any of you west aussie guys know of a reasonably priced place to get it leveled and thicknessed? Back up at work now missing the mill already but atleast when I return home I should have a working ignition switch.
