Can anyone recommend a good bar dresser, there's a lot of chineesie ones floating around.



I'm assuming it's one size fits all.
If it hangs to the left, your likely to be a Husqvarna man.
If it hangs to the right, your likely to be a Stihl man.
Anything else is an uncomfortable compromise.
                             AND
Walking with one foot on either side of a barbed wire fence can become extremely uncomfortable at times.

I've seen guns made to fire around corners but never a bar like that. I think its made to go the other way you don't need to bend over so far to cut the stump off at the ground.

Why a bar dresser  when all that bar needs is a quick wipe with a rag and WD40??

Are you making those for sale? That looks like it's made for half-lap joints. Can you do one in dovetail?




That needs to hang up on a wall somewhere. :)
Find something to do that interests you.

 I think you need to flip that bar, believe thats a "flush-cut" bar for cutting little stumps off at the ground level without interference of the clutch cover and power head assembly, especially on saws with full wrap handles.  :D :D :D

Ada Shaker, I see a big log laying on what looks like a side hill in the distance.
Did you get that saw pinched in it when it took a tumble down the hill? :D

Nah, not me chainsaw but I thought some blokes could use a laugh, Luv some of the comments, made my morning.
On another note, firewood collection season opens up today so looking to going out and getting me yearly supply of wood soon. Just need it to rain heavily and for the wind to pick up and knock down a few more trees. Were not allowed to cut them down around here.

Well I've taken the bend out of a few but none that resembled a pretzel .

I do hear the tough wood down under is a real bugger on saws  :D ;D

Yeh, there mainly hardwoods but if you cut them a little green there a little less demanding, but some of the bigger stuff can close over on the bar in the cut when too green, hence wedges. Then you've got to get them into the truck hence I've knocked up a little winch crane as an aid. ;D
