Jeff,

I think you guys are talking different stoves, so horses for courses might be 
the by-word here(:-)  Not sure how long circular saws would last in developing 
countries. and anything like bike parts would vanish over night in the places I 
have seen.

Regardless of the fact that my efforts may be wasted for most reading this 
thread, I have really enjoyed putting the tools to work, and it gives me a 
change of things to think about, so thanks for the inspiration.

The Mk 2 version of the chipping guillotine is now completes with new side 
plates, and they fix the disc blade problem. I will get out for more test 
sticks to cut later in the week.

Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.
