088KD caught on film!!!

Hey Steve, Looks like Ken did another great job warming up the 088. Now your ready for Baraboo, or Klondike days. That sony trv22 is the same one I have, it works great and is simple to use and upload to the computer. Gotta have a big hard drive to hold the raw video.

Hey Steve Mueller, you mentioned Klondike Days, I have been trying to find out if they have actual saw races there. I know they have the chainsaw throw as well as the chicken toss.
Can you help me out, I need an excuse to go to the Yukon again.
Oh, oh, just realized Klondike days is in Edmonton Alta.

Hey Jon, I didn't name the contest in Eagle River, the chamber of commerce probably did. They did a good job naming the "World Championship Snowmobile Derby", but Klondike days is a little misleading.

Klondike Days 2004>Events>Lumberjacks
_Lumberjack Competition - Sponsored by Ace Hardware and Stihl

The Great Northern Lumberjack Competition will be held both days from 10 AM to 3 PM on the Derby grounds. Individuals and teams, both men and women, will compete in 12 events in this Hayward-style event.

The roar of the chain saw and the crack of the ax will echo as lumberjacks (and jills) compete head-to-head in chain sawing, crosscutting, and ax throwing. There will be more than $7750 in cash and prizes at stake in this competition.

Two lumberjacks will also perform log speed-climbing up 70 foot poles at the Derby grounds.

088

Steve here...
Here's a clip of my 088KD cuttin' a 9X9.75 log. I sharpened this chain on my Silvey SDM-4 square grinder...Pics of the grinder to follow after dinner.
Steve

ps the Super 2100 is only 3 tenths slower now than the 088.
KD says it will beat the 088 when I get everything right!!!

SDM-4 / Swing arm

Steve here...
Couple pics of the SDM-4 I picked up... Grinder is deadly accurate... But my old Simington swing arm is easier to use.

SDM-4 / Swing arm

Here's a pic of the grinder almost at the tooth... Had to have the grinder running so the pic was back lit, and I didn't need the flash

SDM-4 / Swing arm

Heres a close up of the spring loaded roll pin pressing down and against the side plate, so the tooth absolutly can't move...

 

[z4lunch]

Here's an attempt at a pic of the tooth...Lambert is the expert at pics of teeth close up...not me
