[Boomer 87]

Sounds like a plan to me

 

[Boomer 87]

I dont get to do anything with a chainsaw today

I have a Mcculloch 250--Looks like stalagtites and mites in it-they drained the tank. Another one fuel left in -looks like it is lined with fur complete-250 also. I have to get off this thread- I wish we all lived close enough for a saw GTG. Some one in this forum has 1 in middle Ga. sometimes. I will try to go and cut some wood.

 

[Boomer 87]

I would like to have a GTG someday as well, i think itd be fun, smoke some meat run some saws maybe do some wheelin and dealin, drink some beer if you want to just no sawing and drinking.

I've been waiting for a GTG to be relatively close lol. Be nice to find someone in the middle that could host it. I'm sure I could find a place down here but that'd be more travel for all y'all.

 

[Boomer 87]

Right id like to not drive across the country lol

 

[Boomer 87]

Im on 7 acres here but too itd be far for others as well

If we could find a place in the corner of Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee. Geographically that looks about to be the center for all of us, mane just a bit further east and west for Mr. Dave and Lonestar

Heck yeh. I'd hang it in my 2 year olds room. He loves chainsaws too

Thank you! I made it yesterday on a scroll saw. The board was freehand milled this summer and the stencil came from Stihl's blog post on pumpkin carving. I initially didn't expect much (it was my first time really using the saw) and it actually turned out way better than I could have imagined.

That's some great work! I don't have a scroll saw. If in the future you made more I would possibly be interested in one

The dogs came in today.

Ok, I will keep that in mind when I get some more logs to play with. I'm sure we could work something out.

I like the wood work-I am not an artist but I think you could use the basic saw pattern and turn it into a bow saw or a different type of saw outlined.Ran the Poulan 361 and s25da. Both had good power-idled good. I run a heavy oil mix in my old saws compared to my new 1--Echo 590. Started my 330 homelite-ran great but chain oiler barely putting out--It has new lines,clean filter,duck bill valve,old pump diaphragm. Thought about thinning out the oil----Any ideas???
