I looked at my saws from yesterday again and I did not get two 08s'. Instead I got an 08s and a S10 top handle.

I like the old Stihls but never see any local around here--David-good scores--look well made.

I'm going to restore it and keep it in my collection

It'll be a great piece!

It will be. I wonder what is the difference between a s10 top handle and an 08s is. I have an early 08s with the red cover and I don't see anything different from the s10.

I think the 08s was actually produced before the s10. They are pretty similar. I think it's funny that the s10 is a 50cc saw but max bar length is about 18"

Where did you get the louvre?

Bent out of some stainless scrap. Took a long time and was pretty touchy because of it's size. Quite happy with how it turned out. Now it's not blowing in my face or my hands lol.

Some good high heat paint will make it look real good blended in.

Though about it, but I built it out of stainless so I wouldn't have to mess with painting it. Will find some matching stainless screws and round the corners better and call it good.

Hey, well about everything would beat an axe or a misery-whip even if it was super heavy and couldn't handle much of a bar.

Raise your hand if you've ever cut with a misery-whip! *hand raised* raise your other hand if you did and thank the good lord above every day for the invention of the chain saw! *hand raised*

Actually looked at buying one. Hanging it up as a reminder of where we came from

They are pretty common in the finger lakes region of NY...

I was gifted a Disston one-man from a relative last fall. Pretty good condition, albeit quite rusty and dull. Haven't touched it much because I don't want to screw it up restoring it. Looks pretty nice where it hangs on the wall lol. It's quite hard to find around in my area as I don't go to many auctions or flea markets, and antique stores are out of their mines with asking prices $100+ for some rusty, handle-less piece of junk.

Along with some mule plows they had, he kept the old handles but a man made him some out of oak to replace with.

I don't believe you have a S10,just the oil tank/oiler.They will fit other saws like the 08S

Dont see anything good about using one of those saws and walking 15 miles to work. Good old days you say.
