Eric, do you notice any of the differences I mentioned with the oil smell in your clothes when using synthetic?

My clothes smell like beer and smoke and gas (mine).

My wife says I smell the same as every Saturday night.

 

[ri chevy]

Lol. Too funny!

Better than perfume! [emoji4]

I think I've only used synthetic since I got heavy into saw use about 6 years ago. I've used the Husky XP brand synthetic the most and recently started using Stihl Ultra HP.
I've never really noticed an oil smell -- even when we would go and fell, buck, and split white pine several cords which we dry and burn in our maple sugaring boiler since it burns hot.

Pine pitch odor -- that's another story! Come home with it all over gloves, all over saws.
Pine pitch -- better than superglue!

Were your clothes oily smelly after the GTG? As compared to your normal?

Here's that annotated picture -- forgive me and correct any mistakes! The second one with the one big guy that's not in the first picture is me Malk315 and Mustang Mike took the picture. Apologies I couldn't remember DRF255's buddy's name -- pleasure hanging out with you guys. In the second pic you can see RIChevy better and WCorey Bill still chattin with kr5258 and RIChevy. There were others that had to leave before the group shot like Boozer and Powerking (unless I messed up with Red Ray).

Excellent job!

I like the wagon wheel effect of the bench! That was pretty innovative whoever did that. Lol

I didn't notice much of an oil smell -- my 2 idiots logging shirt has that classic campfire smell!
At one point I think I smelled aviation fuel coming from Mustang Mike's saws? Or was that CAM2 ultra high octane?
Forgot to mention I always use 93 octane fuel. Not running saws daily so I'm not as worried about trying to save dollars on fuel and oil.

Smell doesn't bother me too much -- it's expected on the carharts along with fresh cut wood smell. Wife certainly not a fan of any of the odors She can always tell when I've been out cuttin' wood come home stinkin'!

 

[ri chevy]

Ok. Good. Thanks.

I run the 93 octane as well.

Al, I suspected your 044 was not stock when I pulled the recoil, but I knew it was not stock when I pulled the trigger! All of your saws ran stronger than their size would indicate, just a shame the 066 did not come along this time, I would like to see that.

Fred, the competition was fun, and helps to develop mutual respect for both people and their equipment.

Erik, glad I got you in the group shot, your 262 was sweet, and I use 93 octane with AMSOIL Saber at 40:1. If any of my saws sounded like they had rocket fuel you will have to blame it on Randy or Bret!

Also enjoyed pulling the trigger on those big Huskies, a 385 and 394 if memory serves me right.

And Al, never mind adding 10 years, add 20 plus, and I cut more today, and split, and delivered a cord, and still found time to sharpen three of the five before dark!

It was a great time everyone, looking forward to doing it again.

You're my hero. And I'm not being sarcastic, and don't have a man crush on you.

You're in great shape bro, mind and body. Keep it going.

Us old hot rodders ( Can't believe I'm including myself in this group) gotta stick together.

And a very loud BTW...

I'm old enough to know how sick it was to shoehorn a 427 side oiler into a 70 boss 302 'stang.

I just reuse the oil out of my car when they change it. I always ask for the used oil back so I can run it through my saws. It's synthetic, but after only 3-5k miles it still has a lot of life left. I also use it for bar and chain lube so it can do double duty and I only need to bring one spare jug with me to the field. [emoji106]

Oh, and I don't always take gas with me in POM bottles; I usually have it in Gatorade bottles, but we just did recycling the day before so I was all out.

 

[ri chevy]

Make sure you don't have a few too many sasparellas, and then decide to have a fruit juice or power drink!

His name was Rich, but I don't remember his nick/handle

You are a nutcase for sure... I use cheap oil, but not crankcase oil! not sure you could ever convince me this was ok...

still, what I do I know... just a dentist runnin some saws!

 

[Mastermind]

Looks like y'all had a blast. Loved the pic with the names. I see some friends there.

 

[ri chevy]

I have heard of a few guys that reuse drain oil in the extremely cold climates for bar oil. The 30W oil just is too thick and doesn't flow properly.

 

[ri chevy]

It was really cool running the Mastermind saws. They really hustle!

And we have you to thank for that!
You build some sick saws!!!
