Actually I think someone already beat me to it, but can't remember if it was a GTG or charity cut for Interfaith Caregivers.

Can't hear any crickets here. Just 3 EMD prime movers idling. (the new GE stuff sounds OK but nothing beats these old EMD GP/SD series)

Twin City Saw moving

Somewhat of an institution on University Avenue in Saint Paul (4th generation family owned/operated), Twin City Saw is moving a few miles away to 2169 Energy Park Drive, near Raymond (a few blocks East of 280). The store started BC (before chainsaws; or at least before they became popular): crosscuts saws, circular saws, bandsaws, etc. First a McCulloch chainsaw dealer, they moved on to STIHL, Jonsered, and Husqvarna, and for a while were the largest STIHL dealer in the state.

They will be open through August 26, then reopen at the new place September 5. They did not want people to freak out if they drove by and saw (no pun intended) the familiar sign down.

Sifting through decades of saw stuff packed in the shop, they also said that they do not have time for any type of clearance or moving sale, so they are packing it all up, and will sort it out at the new place.

Rihm Kenworth also has moved from University Avenue as well. They are one of the oldest KW dealers in the country. They split into two new locations. I am guessing university AVE will see a major facelift in the next few years or become a ghost town.

I have one saw that still runs and it's woods ported I think.If I could get up there would I have to run against a hot saw in the modified class?I am old now and my chain is not the sharpest.

Hey, Woodyman, my new digs are just off 25 at 82nd st., I too have considerable age & some saws, maybe we should get together.

Oh, if you've been away for 6 years you'll find you can get yer *** kicked from all sides now, ask me how I know.

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Well, you'll be competing with the likes of several of us who are in the same boat. [emoji3]

Bump. Me (in the hi-viz green shirt) cutting wood in a rather different way at a small threashing show over the weekend.



Most of the lumber, planks and timbers cut over the weekend and the slabwood in the background.

Last time I saw a setup like this was at a county fair. Naturally, some guy brought in a bunch of walnut logs from residential property that was full of nails here and there. Sparks flew and the cutting blade was changed three times. I trust you ran into no nails here. Those big cutters cost and arm and a leg. Suddenly the "free" boards become expensive.

Couple of years ago, we did hit a nail but the teeth then were wore out and in need of replacing and the nail didn't do much to the teeth. We sharpened the blade as best we could and made it through the weekend. That winter the owner had the blade hammered and new teeth and inserts put in. That was about 3-4 years ago, the new teeth do need to be resharpened now. But we haven't hit anything since.
