    yet another chainsaw thread

    Hi People.
    I have a HEAP(12 to 15tonne),of green whitegum(Wandoo) logs to cut up into rings this weekend.
    Any ideas of which solvent is good to disolve the gum buildup on the chain.
    Have chapps,earmuffs,gloves,eye protection,sunscreen and even a box of condoms incase a cougar sees what she likes.

    Hi Richard.
    Cuts like butter when its green!!!!
    We are tree clearing for roadworks and its all getting burnt in bonfires,such a waste.
    Will cut this lot up over the weekend and get more next week(another 20 to 25T).
    Im buying a hydraulic splitter to chop it up.
    It can then dry for a few years.

    Daft question time but what is a ring. Wouldn't it be easier to cut to smaller logs so it would be easy to split with an axe..

    Hi Jason
    you cut a log into rings,or foot blocks for firewood size,then you split it.
    Will buy a machine to do the splitting.

    RINGS?

    Over here, we call logs cut up "rounds".
    Mind you, any bit that gets put on a fire is also called a "log".
