Nice machine Alain. Here's a tip for you. Use hard/ dry branches in between using green branches to aid ease of chipping. Hopefully will work a tad easier for you.
Nice looking machine and I think you are right it is more user friendly than an Allen.
i am intrigued by your volunteers? Who are they and where is the glade?
You are right Norm about Teagle being Cornish. I know a Tommy Teagle at Lanhydrock in Bodmin. Good machines but a tad heavy for continuous use.
Look forward to seeing some photos of the beast.
Welcome to MOM. I know Hooe very well as I come from Bexhill originally. The Red Lion was my local all those years ago and my brother lived in Sampson Cottage I think back in the 90s near the garage on the bend.
Can't help you on the WH I am afraid.
Cheers
Andrew
I have yet to be scammed on eBay but I feel that it won't be long before someone try it.
I have had a lot of time wasters though asking questions etc & never getting back to me.
