Forgot to ask......what did you make of that double bit one I sent to you up via Jerry.......that's pretty UN... restored......LOL!!!
Looks like your off to a good start !I just purchased my first two axes. I'm anxious to restore them. Both are rusty but in otherwise good condition, just like I wanted.

I sand blasted mine , then sprayed a coat of clear enamel on them . Stihl need a handle for my double bit one .Now I've really gone and done it. I envision this little GBA cruiser getting polished and a premium handle.

Ignore the nasty message lol
Hey Jerry !!!!
The bar is coming along just nicely , 4.8% gain on speed so far and I got an extra 1.8% when I switched to Slick50 !!!!
Hey Robin !!!
I hope this helps .
The chain will be there after I find a few more rocks .Needs more paint removed, not sure that Slick 50 is good fer bar n chain lube but since its pricey then use twice as much, should be good for a 25% gain over a fully painted bar and reg bar oil. Now you need to file those cutters back to about half gone, they really start cutting well when that stage is reached, could clip a good deal off the heel of the tooth as well but that is a lot of filing for a work chain but they sure do cut a lot faster.
