Full grown here sir, so much that I think about what I am posting before I post it. That way I don't have to backpeddle, and scurry to change it.

Then why pray tell are you engaging in this childish stirring of the pot, again? I didn't seek your input, or the polar guys comment. I just posted a comment to the board. How about we avoid each other, especially since we live so far apart and nothing will get settled on this website?

I've made my point, I'm done with the bickering.
Sent an ms440 and an ms361 out the door today both with inserts in the plug holes. Replaced some fuel lines on a few 55R's, then started back in on the L48 Kubota backhoe. Good day it was :msp_biggrin:

My dad just brought me 2 boxes of leftover pre-finished hardwood flooring. Most of it has some flaws, but it's going to look good on top of that old ratty plywood I've got now. I have a feeling I'm about to score a new to me 3'X8' steel bench on casters for the welding and the heavy stuff.

I'd like to see that as well.
Home made Peavy. I already tried it on a piece of wood around 16" diameter and I am very happy with it so far. The handle is just piece of 1" galvanized plumbing pipe that was laying aroung the garage with other scraps. I still have a small foot to weld on it so that when I roll a log it will lift it up off the ground a few inches so I can cut it up with out hitting the dirt. I will post another pic when completed.

My neighbor made this top for my bench. It is made from stainless steel. They formed it in a brake. It is over 5' so they welded another piece to it.
I requested the drain lip on it which is awesome for catching fluids.
It is 1/8 thick and it doesn't rust

Nice Job.
I've got one almost like that. I busted the original wooden handle out of mine, so I pulled off the hook and the cleat on the end and fitted them to a piece of 1 1/4 galv. pipe. Nothing fancy, just some heating, beating, and welding. I've had mine hooked into a piece of 28" oak about 16 feet long and laid on it with all of my weight. Works great.
stihl 08s, just finished restoration, waiting for new chain (i know its on backwards, that saw is a PITA to put the bar on, and it was late at night) also have a couple IEL HM saws being torn down right now.

latest 039 project update
The Chi-Com cylinder w/Golf piston and Caber rings is now mounted. Not a bad looking cylinder, but the tapped hole in the cylinder for the coil grounding wire to attach to is far too big for the standard Stihl screws. The others seemed to fit okay, but for some reason they tapped the coil grounding screw hole too large. Oh well.
Still waiting on a bar stud and decomp plug before final assembly later this week. Ordered a newer used handle, but it's a bit brighter than the original, so I'll be using the old one, which needed a bit of glue to strengthen a few stress cracks I noticed. Used the "Seal All" adhesive as some have suggested. Too early to tell if it took hold, or not.

Different colored plastics.

Who's attempting to "talk tough", other than yourself? People ask you questions and you commence to expletives and name calling, sounds childish to me.
See above.
Is this more of you being a grown-up and not talking tough on the computer? Why would it matter if you lived closer together, are you saying that if you lived close you would settle something face to face? How? Are you going to kick his ass because you don't like what he said?
See above, again.
