What's on your bench

[lostone]

Well it's not saws but will be used when working on them. Slowly getting things up to where I need them to get ready to start attempts at porting again. I have always wanted a Wilton and found a deal I couldn't pass on so I picked up this 4-1/2" wide jaw, swivel base machinist vise for less than half the price of a new one.

Husky 359 muffler on the bench this evening. This was my first attempt at a custom muffler for my 359. Brazed 3/4 outlet. On the saw it sounds oh so naughty.

I also completed and have tested my Center carrier that I made for my lathe, they are wanting over $200 for them on Fleebay, this one cost me around $20 in materials to make and it has a 1/2" larger capacity (2-7/8") than the original.

As far as the lathe itself goes I have had to do a lot to it to get it up to speed. I replaced the Half nuts, cross slide nut, cross slide gib and compound slide gib, belt tensioner bushing and got a quick change tool post for it. I have fixed other small things and have the lathe back to working like the day it was made plus picked up the optional gears so it can do any thread (SAE and Metric) out there then told the wife I am selling it to get a 14" lathe. I guess size does matter.

Finished up two 7900 cylinders this weekend. Decided to port the 6401 top end too. Just for fun.

New to the site. Picked up this Pioneer p20 and a Stihl 045 AV last week.

Two ported oldies #056S #064

 

[Woodslasher]

Your 056 or somebody else’s? Either way both of ‘em look pretty nice. I just re-assembled an 056 yesterday and will be doing a clutch drum swap on an 045 later this afternoon. I’m doubling down on trying to get all of my ”saws in a box” assembled and packed away before surgery puts me out of action for October and possibly November.

Ms 028 super with 2 piece piston did this happen when I took off the cylinder? It ran with fuel down the spark plug

 

[Justin Taylor]

No needles left... that sucks

 

[Yotaismygame]

I just finished building the 056 super. They port pretty well. Still need to put it in wood. It will be up for sale soon

 

[Woodslasher]

Got the sprocket swapped and now my 045S and my 056 Mag II are ready for storage!

just picked up 2 - 266's and a 61 all complete for 100$ - both 266's need top end work but are well worth it- this one pictured is a 97, the 61 I haven't really inspected it yet

If I run the grinder much lower it'll start touching the driver link, but I could go in and clean out the gullet with a file. My angles for standard cross cutting chain are 30-50-0, so its a pretty aggressive chain, works well for softwood and torquey saws.

I spent yesterday evening re-assembling this Remington Super 754 that I restored.

Does anyone have a right hand start 10-10 crank that they don't want? I've got all the parts for a short block here other than that....

That’s a deal!

Currently on my bench is a 372 that came to me with signs of an air leak and will be leaving with new bearings, seals, gaskets, and an XPW top end. Right now it is waiting for a ring to arrive before I can finish putting it back together.
