Help Support Arborist Forum:
I am planning on attending, and don't have any fancy saws, but plan to bring:
- An outdated pair of chaps for a PPE demo/test: to see if 1) 20+ year old chaps still provide any protection?, and 2) if they provide any protection against a battery or electric saw? Anyone interested in trying their saw(s) on the other leg are welcome.
- Anyone else got a pair of chaps ready to 'retire' that they want to bring and 'test'?
- A few door prizes that I collected over the past year just for such an event! Hopefully, we can do a drawing before Sunday noon so that those who have to hit the road to travel back can participate?
**Anyone who has any 'Challenge Chain' candidates, or unloved 'safety chain', please bring it and I will post the results or repurpose them as appropriate.**

GTG Items for Sale?
I have a few, large items that I don't want to ship, and only want to bring down to the GTG if somebody attending wants them, so I am posting them here instead of in the 'Trading Post'. Please send me a PM if interested, so that I know ahead of time whether or not to bring them and you know whether or not to bring cash.
Peavy Manufacturing Timberjack Never used. Beautiful ash handle. 42" overall length. (Special 'Philbert' edition!) $50 I have one and don't need another.
Tecomec Grinder Never used. Self-centering vise. Includes all 3 wheels, etc. Has some minor scuffing and cosmetic imperfections. $260 Again, I already have a similar grinder.
More info on each of these at their manufacturer's websites.

What else you got Philbert?
I have some NOS parts for MS210/230/250 saws I can bring: spur sprockets, clutch covers, fuel filters, and a few bars. These belong to my storm clean up group.

Ain't got no use for stihl stuff.....
I was just getting around to putting a couple 250's together if the bars are for that mount I'd be interested.
Sorry - the bars are for MS210 and similar (3/8 low profile/Picco). Other stuff fits MS250.

Welding gloves or some other type of heat resistant glove? I wouldn't want to operate it with some type of hand protection.
