This is what I did tonight, I started working on cleaning the head up a little and then did some sanding on the handle and then it dominoed until it was done exactly how I had envisioned it. As far as I'm concerned it couldn't have been any more perfect..... it's gonna be fun to use, and BTW......

Razor frickin sharp, I filed it, then sliced myself wide open......


My fat meaty arm for scale

He was a big one. The babies are supposed to actually be more dangerous because they can't control their venom flow as well

What species is it

Copperhead, they are real common here in the south. Not the worst of the bunch but can definitely make for a bad day.

If I remember correctly, there's a member on here that has a brand new Sally saw, still in the crate, I'm trying to remember who it is.....

Maybe @fwgsaw?

The older the better I say--I keep expecting Kensie to get into the Drusba saws just any day.

Yeah, they look pretty funny to use, I wonder how they compare to using a normal saw.

 

[LonestarStihl]

you all know who you are!!!

Don't know who made this cartoon but I'd give them credit if I could

 

[Kensie1988]

@LonestarStihl you haven't run into any more snakes today have you?

 

[LonestarStihl]

No sir we have not. I did my own controlled back burn on a small section of woods and my wife has been making leaf piles. She plays it safe. I have fun any snakes in my zone were incinerated

Nice! I love burning. I love smelling the smoke.

A little off topic... But here goes:
Does anybody here know if Craftsman, Snap-On or any other major tool manufacturer uses metal in their sockets that can be MIG/TIG welded on?
I don't know much of anything about metal.

Here's the reason I ask, I've got a Remington Super 660 G chainsaw that uses a sprocket with a 1/2" square hole as the driver. I cannot find any sprockets with a 1/2" square hole in them that use modern chain, so I have resorted to making one. Planning on welding a 1/2" driven socket to an Oregon .404" rim sprocket.
Anybody know if it will work?
Thanks much.
