Back to IronHorse, he did build a sweet Pioneer for BBR.

I tried to watch some of those videos. Ya'll do realize that they are just awful at it don't you ? The videos I mean, no idea about the saws.

What model

 

[Jasonrkba]

My stepdad raised me. He is still doing custom cabinetry at 76. Growing up he made a lot of our Furniture, cabinets, porches and decks. They always looked great but when I was young I thought they where just being cheap. Some of that stuff is in my house now.

What model

P62 I do believe it was.

Just went back and watched again. Pioneer P 51

So... If you do want to learn about 2 strokes and saws and porting etc. Which are the channels to watch?

The reason I asked is because most saws of the age that any true Pioneer is, were already pretty hot from the factory. They were not EPA restricted and a lot of honest builders will tell you that there is not much they can do with them unless you want to go full race radical.

Brad Snelling was our porting guy here. Lots of good knowledge. He finally had enough of the crap here and stopped contributing. He use to have YouTube channel, but I haven't come across it in a long while. @bsnelling

Here it is. Look for

SNELLERIZED GARAGE​

on youtube.

My father started out building mill houses for Cone Mills, in the 40's I suppose.
When they consolidated the schools in 1963 they hired him to teach carpentry, brick laying, and electrical wiring.
They soon separated those. He taught carpentry for about 25 years and they actually built houses. Then some moron with the Greensboro News and Record reported that the kids were being exploited for labor.
I think everybody knows you learn from doing much better than any other way. And, you had the pot heads that disrupted everything and you couldn't get rid of them. It was "policy". So, he retired.

I worked for him in the summers. We built some apartments and odds and ends. It was just work to me. I could make more money share cropping tobacco.
Wish I had paid attention.

Are any of those Mill houses or mills still standing? I've been to the Moses Cone estate. Very nice place.

Tree Monkey has a small YouTube series on porting. Good advice with no butchery or hackery

But you’re better off reading old threads here and on O P E to find what works and doesn’t.

I think most all of them in Greensboro are. Some have been fixed up very nice.

Thanks. I never knew where any of the mills were located. I'll have to Google it.

Look north of down town past Wendover Ave and between Yanceyville St and Hwy 29 North.

You got everything running for yah; the genuine interest, the skills...
But you lack patience and contemplation.

Wtf are you talking about? You don’t know me at all. I do lack patience for incompetence and internet dumbassery, though. Got me there.

Yeah, I didn't quite get that either. Maybe too much Christmas Cheer?

 

[ZeroJunk]

I'm just a passer by and I thought it was a little weird.

I think link came unhitched from the wagon he was pulling.
