Little public safety announcement so you don't go through my pain. When milling lumber with the chainsaw mill, especially when it has been drying for over a month, wear a respirator!!! Guess who is just getting over a nasty sore throat.

I wear a respirator anytime there's dust in the air at work otherwise I'll be on a high carb diet

Couple of pictures from my milling endeavors. That ripping chain makes it so much nicer to mill.

The first time I milled (several months ago) is for a fire wood holder for the parents, and this round is going to become some benches. At least that is my intention so far. Also, I have no idea what grass type it is. Both our lawn and the neighbors is a mish-mosh, some fescue I would imagine. They all look really good because it rained nearly the entire week about a week ago. Come late August it is the saddest looking grass you ever did see lol.

. Well, I pinched the bar on my 306A today, and didn't bring a back up. So, out came the axe to save the day. Sure created a lot more work by being lazy and not bringing a second saw.

Good choice of Saw!

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Swinging an axe is always more fun...when you want to swing the axe, not when you have to. Also, how in the heck does someone with CAD only brings one saw? Someone needs to check you out.

I have centipede with dandelions popping up with all the rain, hate dandelions, with a mix of fescue.

Could have put another one in that empty spot on the trailer.

yeah, that 306 with a 20" bar is a screamer. I traded a small Homelite & Skilsaw 1616 for it. Needed a fuel line and carb tweeked. Best running saw I've got besides the new MS211. With CAD, you would figure I would've brought more than one saw. But you know how that goes. the 211 loaned out to brother, 031 that's heavy and only wants to run when it wants to, a Mac in the shed, and one that runs hot and needs a new chain. LOL

Went to the farm Monday evening to pull the covers off two saws to give a good cleaning and service for this coming Saturday. Knew we had a lot of dead trees to drop, so I got that done and topped off the fluids. I go by Tuesday to pickup my little Mac 3214 to trim some fallen limbs at the house. My luck the fuel lines had harden up a was leaking fuel. Got those replaced and saw tuned to run. I go to the big work bench in the back of the barn and low and behold my trash saw was on the work bench covered in saw dust and out of fuel with a some what dull chain. So now I got to clean the wild thing and sharpen the chain again. Guess dad didn't want to run his saw and dull his chain, oh well.

He's got a brand new, 4 years old now, wild thing sitting in the barn still in the case with hang tags still. Got a 2 year old new with hang tags Echo my brother got him and his still insist his worn out 32cc Poulan is still good to go, to the scrap pile. It's got more oil on it than in it. Says the wild thing is too heavy. Haven't heard an excuse for not running the Echo yet, much lighter.

I was being sarcastic. Trying to give "Jackofall" a hard time.

If you don't like running Echos you should probably send them to me...

Yea, I hear those 1201's are junk, though I'd be glad to take one off of some poor afflicted owners hands .
