    I did the same but with a steel mallet, you'll be surprised how much it'll take before it cracks.

    Well I also have a Stihl 020AV that I've just rebuilt, including a brand new chain (yeah another project) that I could try...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Hmmm, best I can do is a Sthil weed-wacker that I can attach a steel blade to.

    Scary thing is that on my last spill I put a fairly decent split about 6 inchs long by my right temple. Probably explains the missing 30 minutes .....

    It might be interesting to cut it in half to see if you can see if the foam is all crushed and stuff from the impact. I think the foam is supposed to stay crushed, so you might be able to see what bits absorbed the most shock or something. I reckon it might be more interesting than attacking it with an axe .

    Sounds like it's all coming together nicely Celtic - good luck!!

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
