Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Spruces inferior cousin, the balsam fir!

Saw storage … all off the concrete … how to use a table someone else threw away!

Nice!

Repurposed interior furniture makes the best workshop accessories.

97+ Ron, lower ethanol, pump fuel, plus startron stabilizer for me/my small engines.

Gotta love Startron, use it in everything.

Finally got this saw together to give to my uncle. Long story short I had parts saws from @chipper1 and @muddstopper that I combined. Was almost ready to go in February then I lost the muffler. Finally gave up and ordered a Chinese muffler which arrived yesterday.

New parts: carb boot, impulse grommet, chain, muffler.

Everything else was salvaged from three dead saws and a box of spare parts from Bill. Bar came off of that 5020 Poulan I picked up the other day.

At least one of us is putting together saws. The one I was working on when you where here is still sitting under the bench with 4 more piled on top. Maybe you need to swing back by and take a few more off my hands.

Kept his Jack Daniels in them to prevent breakage going to shows.

I got upgraded this summer to a shelf in the garage attached to the house. I just throw an old hoodie over them when there not being used. Sounds like I need to step up my saw storage game a notch or two.

I keep mine on the kitchen counter. No wife. No problem.

Hey scroungers, I picked up a load of Eucalyptus on the weekend. I found an ad on Gumtree (our version of Craigslist). A home owner had a load of logs dumped on their front lawn for firewood. Only problem they only has an ms170 and some of the logs were 8’ long and Ø28”, not sure what species it was but it was bloody heavy. It’s not fair this stuff makes me look like a weakling, it may have even stopped our resident Olympic weight lifter logger Nate in his tracks!

I had to make a stair way to walk them up into the trailer. The main idea was actually not for firewood but to cut the centre out and use them for pots in the garden to grow Orchids. We have one hollow tree stump in the garden with an orchid growing in it and it produces awesome flowers every year. I made three hollow logs and a set of stairs of the trampoline.

The Dolmar wore the 28” ES light and cut with authority. I have been thinking of buying a ported 661 down the track but I don’t think I need one based on how well the Dolmar cut.

Nothing like the 7900 screaming in suburbia at 8am on a quiet Sat morning.

You might try looking here: https://www.pure-gas.org/
They claim to have a complete list.

Thanks, the one in Frederick is my local Stihl dealer, he only sells pre made cans. I can't afford that. I'll check a couple others, but I thought all of MD was E-mixed. Maybe some of the air parks might sell e-free. Most of the pre mix cans are $5 or more for a quart, I go through at least 5 gallons a month, during mowing season I might hit 10 gallons a month. Funny, most of my saws hold more than a quart each.

Me too, but only a few at a time, kids need somewhere to eat.
Sometimes I have to put them in the fridge to cool them down for shipping .

I checked the 4 E-Free places listed within a half hour drive and one was an airport and the other were JD or saw dealers. There are a ton of listings on the Eastern shore, I'm guessing a bunch of them are marinas.

There 5 minutes from my house and I still don't use there gas.

I use Startron as well, just good insurance to keep things going. I will look for the pure gas dealers near me. Anyone know what they get per gallon? The True fuel gallon cans are so close in price to the mixed 2 stroke it makes no sense to buy it.
