And it had screws loose which then got lost. Need 4 x M6 screws, nuts & washers.

No, they're not because I'm an ITFC supporter & need them for my head.

Btw, any recommendations for best saw for fallen tree branches ranging in diameter from about 2 - 9 inches please? Currently have a Stanley Jetsaw about 2 feet long, but some of the (quite large) teeth have broken over the years.

Also seeking recommendations for best oil for wooden handles of garden tools.

If it's green wood, personally I'd just buy a bow saw, they're not expensive and neither are blades with the advantage of being quick and easy to change.

One of our horticultural types may have a better suggestion though.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Thanks, do you have to use them 2-handed though? Would prefer 1-hand only.

The wood varies from old & semi-green (what I'm currently working on - branches of an old chestnut that had half split away a while ago only fully came down in the gales of a couple of weeks ago) to occasionally completely green if I'm trimming.

Good point about being able to swap blades tho.

Nope, one handed and come in a variety of lengths, they will pretty much go through anything timber wise, just not that neatly.

Neatness not an issue!

Would you not consider a small Husqavarna or Stihl chainsaw? The smallest one, that's all you need for logging is probably around £250.

Just ordered one of these online (dry wood blade fitted, with a wet wood blade as spare). Wouldn't have thought of a bow saw if you hadn't suggested, ta 👍

Thanks, but life is currently quite challenging enough without £250 for a chainsawsaw, petrol storage, safety course, safety trousers, (and/or alternative of losing a limb, hospitalisation, rehab & prosthetic limb) 😂 😂

Well, when you put it that way . Though with the price of fuel at that mo it would probably pay for itself pretty quickly. Probably won't save enough to cover the cost of a prosthetic limb though

Oil for wood?

Try turnip oil. You take one fresh turnip, halve it and rub it all over the handle. Turnips are great. ‘People are smoking them, building houses out of them… They’ll be eating them next’

I got quite a lot of trees to bring down over next few months Swansea. How much you charging? And do you own adequate PPE if needed?

It’s a bit too chilly in Leitrim for me. Plays havoc with my nips!

Interesting option if my biomass boiler did logs rather than pellets, but the bureaucracy involved in self-certifying sustainability would be a nightmare anyway - us domestic/small commercial users don't get to bypass regs like Drax do 😱 and at my age I think my lumberjack days are a bit limited!

Edit - oh, and Churchy, thanks for the suggestion, but bought some good old-fashioned (no additives) linseed oil, boiled thick, instead :)
