The Official "Noodles" Pic and Vid Thread

[TraditionalTool]

Finally had a few minutes to break out the Dayton for some noodles. 74cc of re badged Poulan 245A with the original roller nose 20" bar and barracuda .404 chain.

I had to rep 'ya for that, especially the nice place your cutting, next to the water...very nice!

Hey thanks for the rep/compliment. It will be even nicer when I finish taint the rest of the junk trees down on the bank there. Nice river view then

OK here's mine. This was with fresh out of the box RSC. I need to get me some square chain and to open the muffler some more.



The finished product.

Stihl 041av Noodle

Finally went out and got some new chain for the 041. Haven't really used it since I put it all back together cause when I got it, it has some homeowner junk on it. It wasn't really a priority so there it sat. Picked up a few loops of oregons 72LGX and man what a difference it makes.


So of course nuttin better to test out a new chain then to grab a few rounds off the woodpile and make some noodles. I made 4 videos but only my 1st 2 came out which sucks because the last 2 were way better. The saw wasnt tunes quite right in the 1st 2 but in the 2nd 2 it was pullin really hard and impressive for a 041av. But anyways here are the 2 videos that came out. you can tell it was starting to pull harder in the 2nd video. Also time to start cuttin more for the pile/fire as I only have small rounds left.

Cool. You must've been making those vids around the time I took my 041 to some big red oak rounds this weekend. Dead and down, but still sopping wet. Had to march them about 50 ft from the cut site to the truck, so noodles were in order.

Long story short, my son (4.5 years) was pissed when I got home and he saw the halved and quartered rounds in the back of the truck. He loves to play with his tonkas and hot wheels in the noodle pile. The fact that the noodles were about 5 miles from home didn't go over well. Which was fine, because it gave me an excuse to zing one of the bigger chunks in half.

I see a lot of guys continuing to cut long after the saw quits flowing chips/noodles. Is this a bad practice? I've always though it wasn't a good idea, perhaps due to the buildup of excess heat. No?

I love the noodles...Wish my other 2 came out so you could see how much better that saw runs then that. Twice the saw then what was in those 2 videos. Oh well i guess just have to make more.

I use the noodles for fire starter. Pack the bottom of my fire pit with them and 1 match is all it takes. It's funny when you can start fire so easy and the neighbors are out there with newspaper and lighter fluid etc for 30 minutes.

Got into a heap of red maple recently.

All bucked and ready to noodle the larger rounds. Some weren't too terribly big in diameter, but there was a wave in the grain that made me think they'd be a bear to bust up with a maul back home. Figured better to leave the mess in the woods.

Took this pic after cleaning out the clutchcover. Quick break to eat an apple and take a sip of water.

This little white pine was directly in front of me. If it were a spruce it'd be my candidate for the official AS Christmas tree, all decorated in curlies instead of that plastic silvery stuff.

Some of my noodles

You should have seen my 394 blowing through those big ol trees. Especialy the stump on the right hand side of the trail. Next time let me know and I can bring some real saws by. LOL

 

[blsnelling]

No video, but I had a 28" bar on the Solo 681 Saturday buried pulling noodles. It didn't even try to clog up. Sounds like it's as good as the 7900 in that respect.

That solo of your Brad is awesome. I'm thinking of a 6401 sometime in the future myself cause I need something more of a work saw. Mine do the job cause i don't really use them everyday like you do but next to that they are "Relics".

Just joking with you looks like it was fun. Bill called me today and told me about your video taping on the access road. I would love to take some time and run some saws with you guys.

LOL bill is a funny guy...Good guy to. I figured you were just teasing anyways. We will have to get together before the snow flies and run some saws. There is plenty of tree left there that's for sure...Atleast until my 36" bar comes in for my Homelite XP :jawdrop:

OR...What I was thinking was maybe a Thank You now that Josh figured out who you were for cutting up all that firewood for you! LOL
