Vintage Chainsaw Museum

[heimannm]

Plumbers took a day off yesterday, I think they are finished stubbing everything in now but I didn't bother to take a final photo today.

Ray Benson, I see that you're following this thread; you need to start collection manuals for Mark for all of these saws.

Write Mark into my will for the Lombard and Remington paperwork I have. [emoji106]

I will have a lot of space in the "library" room for documentation, literature, magazines, and the like. If you know of sources for any spare documents let me know and I will do my best to incorporate them into the display.

So I've dropped the largest tree I've ever dropped yesterday, it was pretty awesome and nerve wracking at the same time lol

Nice tree but wrong thread unless you are furnishing lumber for the museum. Ron

Thought you might have missed and didn't know it. You look to have a good start on stocking your own vintage saw museum. Ron

Progress, plumber have the drains stubbed in.



Getting started on the insulation (sand underneath) below the floor.



Laying down the PEX for the in floor heat.



Trench drain in the floor of the shop area. This area will end up with radiant heat in the floor as well.

Don’t everyone pile on and beat me up but I’m throwing this out. I have a neat old saw I’ll donate you if you want it but it has an electric cord.

 

[heimannm]

Thank You! That is really cool. I have a similar small Montgomery Wards electric and I am sure it would appreciate the company. Be sure to included your contact information so I can include credit in the display.

There will be three toilets, they are all stubbed in under the red buckets. There will be a handicap accessible rest room directly off the main display area in the front, a sort of master bath off the library, and a 1/2 bath with toilet and sink just off the workshop in the back.

I have go to be there for the christening of this museum, one way or the other, come hell or high water. Simple as that.

Ray - I don't know how you happened on that link but thanks for posting.

At some point I will put out a request for documents (IPLs, literature, magazines, advertisements, etc.) to include in the library but for now I have other things to fill the time.

Maybe I will delay the GRAND grand opening until next April to coincide with the Iowa spring GTG to folks can make a trip of it.

Nice write up. Looks like retirement will be active and worthwhile to many. Ron

Will have to make a trip to see this next time I head back home to Iowa to visit.

Mark, that looks like it will be a wonderful place to visit! Good for you for wanting to share the history of the old saws.
