The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

[NHlocal]

Ya man! I'm building a 390xp right now, and have quite a arsenal of other saws!

I put a "Walkerized" dual port muffler on it. Noticeable power increase and a reeaaallllyyyyy nice sound!::thumbsup::

 

[NHlocal]

parrisw,
...here's a pic of the muffler, my son and I were taking a "lunch break" and this yellow jacket
was checking out a possible new home...maybe he's a Husky fan? :msp_biggrin:
No bee was harmed during the use of this saw... :biggrinbounce2: he got away safe.
...I think it's gonna take more than a few times for me to get used to this embed thing...
Many thanks for your help!

Yea it's been hovering in the single digits and below zero's for a couple weeks, had one rogue warm day in the 40's though. Not too many things go better together than bonfires and cocktails! Anybody else notice how much faster full skip chain is when noodling? I would say it's considerably faster.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice! I bet that place is beautifull in the spring time. Been high 60-70's during the day here. Cold in the am's for us lately, and the is mid 20's to low 30's. Nothing like what you have of course. And on fullskip yeah! Always been my favorite I run it on every saw I own. Except my pole saw.

Thanks for the welcome and the REP,:msp_smile:
... I've worked near power lines a few times, makes me VERY nervous! Deadly work if it's done wrong.
I would've liked to have started cutting at a younger age (I'm 46) but I'm cuttin' now!
Work safe!:msp_thumbsup:

Nice pics!!! At 31 I wish I had started earlier myself LOL. Oh well better late than never.

 

[Brian13]

Cool, I'd go take a pic of mine, but its pretty basic.

This is what I have been using. The I2I needs to be shorter for this set up, but other than that I like it so far.

Sometimes when I load the knot the coils separate like this here. Never tried it higher than a couple of feet, but it seems to hold like that. I try to tighten it up when I see that, dont know if it is supposed to do that, or if that means the coils are too loose.

Not trying to hijack, but if you guys can please check this thread out: http://www.arboristsite.com/off-topic-forum/188558-23.htm#post3392218, this family could use some well wishing.

...YOUR'E RIGHT!...big REP on that one! I'd rather wear out than rust out, as long as I'm careful not to break myself first.

Work safe.:msp_thumbsup:

She has breast cancer, I believe it is a good prognoses from how they talk but there are a couple of threads there to put well wishes onto. Roncoinc posted a link to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for anyone interested NBCF - Donate Online

How is Normzilla these days? Haven't been in here in awhile, I'll have some pics for you soon of a stand of woods I have been taking down. Kind of a shame to knock em all down but I can't pass on hickory and oak firewood.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thanks Jim, and I am real sad to hear that, and hope the best for her. To bad. I am real good missed ya man! Love to see some new pics, I am due as well. Going out saturday, one of our hunting ranches. We trade tree work we can take all the wood we want too. We are going to split some wood, cleanup and load. And burn a few piles. Have some more takedowns coming up the saturady,after next. Hope you are doing good buddy!

I have a section of oak and hickory that a farmer wants cleaned out to make way for pasture. Wants every thing over 4" cut, that won't leave much but it will give me a lot of firewood. Getting for the labor and the cost of fuel to cut it and haul it home. I love deals like that. I love getting time in the woods.

I can do better then that, I got a whole thread going on it.

some very good quality work you're doing on that saw, lookin' forward to seeing
it done and running. Thanks for posting updates, I'll be looking for them.:msp_thumbsup:
:arg: Sorry about the thread hijack, I'm done. :redface:
