Don't we all just love mechanised toolery. Well my choice for today was the chainsaw, so here are the results:
A bit of precision felling -
The stumps -
The new view -
...and for the girls - (well mine anyway)
She loves a good bit of rotavating, I never use it
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Always liked lathes myself. It fascinates me seeing a bit of rough metal turned into a precision thing of beauty.

Now you know that thing doesn't do it properly. What's the good of a few inches of turned over soil? Ronnie would tell (and probably has) that you need a fork and some back muscle. Down at least a foot and turn it over proper like.Originally Posted by Firebottle

Damned machines, make life too easy. What's wrong with a hand saw anyway?

I too love the chainsaw... We have an Echo which was used lots in the garden in our house in France but hasn't been used much since...

The thought of you with a chainsaw is somehow disturbing Bev.
