That sounds like fun....never know what you turn up in there...that's where my 10' 6" Conover wood lathe and all the tooling came from....a guy bought an unpaid storage locker at auction for something else he knew was in there....sold me the Conover and all the tooling for $700.00.......tooling alone was worth a lot more than that...New in the box Nova four jaw chuck ($250.00) many gouges, skews etc.almost every one made by Buck Bros...50-60 total......and the lathe...well let's just say the headstock, tailstock and tool rest sold new for nearly $2,000.00.....you supply the ways and legs.....LOL!!
Nuther beautiful day up the coast from rockbound Maine, sun is out and its above freezing. Blackflies not far off and a fishing trip coming up shortly, canoes are all ready to go.

Hey Phil, Our temps are on the way upward while your temps are lowering, opposite sides of the ball....LOL
White birch carves easily, carving with a chainsaw is even easier.

No saw running yesterday....the caretaker of the house I've been working on told his father I worked on Jonsereds saws.....they are both named Norris.....Old Norris acquired the nickname Nodd or Noddy.....Young Norris also aquired the same nickname....but became "Young Nod" as opposed to "Old Nodd"...I 've known them both a long time....Old Nodd ran his family masonry business where Young Nodd was the head mason until Old Nodd retired and about the same time Young Nodd was offered this salaried caretaker position...20 yrs ago....Old Nodd was always a very pleasant guy to work with.....quiet...work with you through building problems when on the job...a very nice man. So Old Nodd says he's got an old Jonsereds saw that needs some work and would I look at it. He didn't know what model it was......my plate is pretty full right now but out of deep respect for Old Nodd I said sure bring to the jobsite next time you come down. Old Nodd shows up the next day with a 520SP.........says the recoil won't work and once started it won't idle. I was standing right next to the jobsite roll on/ roll off dumpster and my first thought/reaction was to toss it right in...sigh.....but again my respect for Old Nodd was more powerful than my hatred of these pitiful attempts at a chainsaw, so I put it in the back of my truck and said I'd take a look....plastic recoil pulley was beat as was the spring....best I could find online was a used recoil for $37 plus $10 shipping.....I have absolutely no parts nor any saws of this 5XX series.....I knew Old Nodd didn't want to spend much $$$ on it. I saw him yesterday and told him what was wrong and we would have to get a recoil before we could address any starting running issues it had.....he says "It probably ain't worth $50 is it?" I says "No...no it probably ain't......I'll put it back together and get it back to you" "No" he says "You keep it...might use it for parts"............Again out of respect I thanked him.....Damnitalltohellandgone!!!! ....now I gotts the absolute peak of the completely successful attempt at building the world's most pitiful saw.........it does have a near new 18" .325 Winsor B&C.....and a brand new sparkplug.....so not a total loss....close though...
Lookin out my back door!
