What's on your bench

[Yotaismygame]

Thanks!

Lots of 2x4's. Plus a skin of 1/4" luan plywood on the top.

I hope to do something similar in my garage this winter. Storage racks, and a longer custom work bench.

Finally tore into this little saw for porting. It’s amazing how small it is.

Looks like a model engine, they are usually quite capable also - portable too.

Looks about the size of a mini-mac engine, except with a removable cylinder.

Is it a bird's nest above the bench?

Yes. Those jerks took over my building. I left the overhead doors open for a month straight during the dirt leveling, rebar laying and concrete pour. They built a nest on every post and some of the purlins. It took them months to stop flying in there when I was inside with the door open. If you zoom in on one of those pictures you can see another nest on the floor. It was pretty gross for a while.

I would feel preveligded by the honor, birds flying around your workshop? - when you're 99 that's what you want to remember. .

I was inspired by Yota's post to share a comparison picture of a Mini-Mac 35 engine and my PM 270, this gave me a chuckle...

Ported and muffler modded. Hopefully i did good. Theres zero information out there about porting this saw and hopefully I can change that.

Before porting all stock setup



After porting same setup same log

 

[2broke2ride]

Wow!!! That is a very noticeable improvement!

 

[Yotaismygame]

Before porting its very under powered. The lack of chain speed caused chattering with multiple other chains. Although the saw is meant for cutting small limbs which it did that fine before now it can be used to top trees as well. Super light power house top handle.

Just got this in today. The 1964 Homelite 775-D, it's complete and has the full wrap. Cosmetically in rough shape as to be expected. Initially I thought it was siezed up, turned out the starter was seriously bound up and missing a couple screws. Going to clean it up and replace the rewind spring and missing screws and see if it will fire. Piston looks great and turns over freely, not only that but still has great compression! May end up doing a full restoration on this bad larry.

That's cool, but what abut the Mac and the Stihl 045/56 in a box?

 

[northwest saws]

Hehe, that's a 056 mag II carcass and a sp 125 parts saw. I'm using the piston and cylinder off the 056 and the sp125 is spoken for.......I think.

Some time well after Christmas has passed I'd love to talk with you about one or both of those saws.

 

[northwest saws]

Anytime. Although that super 125 will probably be out the door by monday, I do know an old faller who has this complete sp125c. May be a runner too, I gave it a few pulls and it turned over freely and had good compression. Going to have to go visit him again soon and put some gas in to find out!

I’ve got a few 056s and tons of parts. Please take them

 

[Woodslasher]

Are you serious? I've got a neighbor with three dead ones that could really use some parts if you aren't pulling my leg.

 

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

Just finished rebuilding these two!! 260 pro and 180.

260 has 188-190 psi compression from reused cylinder and new piston / rings
