Hey, I have 3 of them ... one at home, one at the cabin and the third one stays in my truck! (I got the 3rd one very cheap - used, but like new). Guess not everyone likes them!One for each hand?

For Harold??Amateur Hour Saw Porting!
That is my HF deluxe pedal control grinder!
The 066 with the Cross cylinder is running so strong that I decided to get another one of my 660s running. This one is an Asian saw with a Meteor piston and I'm putting an OEM 066 (w/decomp) jug on it. The transfers looked good, but the intake was wider on top than on the bottom. Since most of the flow occurs when it first opened, I fixed that issue and may have even made the bottom a bit wider.
The exhaust port had good width, but (IMO) a bit too much arch on top. I still left a little and made sure I beveled it, but a flatter top will usually make more power.
The squish was a bit too tight, and no one seems to sell thin gasket material, so I made one out of an aluminum can. Hopefully I will get it running tomorrow. Today I spend too much time running around to stores I was told had .005 gasket material but did not.
Fingers crossed it runs strong and stays together.
One for me, one for the children’s camp that I used to volunteer at.One for each hand?
Nice find! Anyone know what L.F. & company stands for? Lots of good stuff used to come out of New Britain, Conn. Now there must not be much left except sheeple escaped from NY.Under the category of " other stuff" , we picked this up a while back. Pretty nice. View attachment 1210094

I know how that works lol. At least this yr I was able to enjoy myself a bit more, and there was chilli left when I was able to get some . We had 117 people including the kids, it was a nice crowd.As usual I was too busy to enjoy it. Everyone else seemed to have a good time.
117 people! We only invite immediate family and the kids get to invite 3 friends. We try to keep birthdays under 25 people.We had 117 people including the kids, it was a nice crowd.
That seems to be my problem as well! That pesky JOB is always getting in my way. My wife wants me to work part time. I would have a hard time with that since ours is a family business.Glad most all the other fall projects are all finished up, now if I can get a break from the J O B.
We had 117 people
117 people. Wow! We had about 32 people over. Which is pretty normal. Just family and a close friend or two. That pesky job... yep always in the way, but I seem to be able to fill up my free time with other endeavors besides finishing the shop. Some of it is my fault though.I know how that works lol. At least this yr I was able to enjoy myself a bit more, and there was chilli left when I was able to get some . We had 117 people including the kids, it was a nice crowd.
Speaking of hydraulics, I had the John deere zero-turn all filled with fuel and started to mow Saturday, made it around the front two times and the right side wheel motor started whining and it slowed to a creep. Managed to get it into the barn and used the smoke billowing exmark to finish up chasing leaves. Not sure what it is as I've been way to busy to look at it, which is why I bought the deere, because I don't have time to do the head gasket on the exmark . Maybe I can find another exmark to buy lol.
As for the barn, waiting for some cash to come in for the doors, and the wire to run underground power to the house and adding the sub panel.
Need to figure out the lid in the main and the other half of the lean-to my shops in, then get the wall built between the opposite lean-to and the main so I can hold some heat in there this winter. Funny how heat flows right out the ridge vent .
Still no sure what I'll use to heat the barn, I bought a used high efficiency propane furnace this summer. That could be nice for something, but it would cost a fortune to run it to heat the main. If I could get the main finished really quick it would work fine, I just don't see that happening. I found a wood/coal furnace that looks pretty nice, unfortunately they are only making parts for them, which means those will most likely be drying up soon too. I really need to focus on getting the building sealed up! Glad most all the other fall projects are all finished up, now if I can get a break from the J O B.
One of the mud sales we have in spring sells home made chicken soup. Made in a kettle about 3x that size sitting over the fire. It's so worth the $2.00 they charge for a cup.
We supplied about 5 gallons of bean free(the good stuff , and we had about a gallon left. Others brought some white, and some with beans, theirs probably added another 3-4 gallons. Lots of sides and desserts, and a neighbor brought his slushy machine, he went thru 8 gallons of cider in it before we shut it down. We do this every yr, we als serve a lot at our homeschool group a couple times a yr, and we help work large dinners feeding hundreds at our church, so it's not really abnormal for us, but there is a good bit of planning and prep.How much chilli do you make to feed that lot?
We had nearly the same during the plandemic..., last yr was a bit less because we had rain. 25, we have that many people in our home on a weekly basis lol.117 people! We only invite immediate family and the kids get to invite 3 friends. We try to keep birthdays under 25 people.
