Chainsaw Pics...

Interior Douglas Fir. Aside from larch, about as bulletproof a firewood that can be had in the forest around here. No hardwood unless you find a pocket of birch or a friendly orchard being converted into a vineyard. No shortage of good BTU’s to be had, though. The tight-ringed Doug always comes through.

 

Here it is with the pointer attached to the crankcase instead of the cylinder...

 

266 and 044

 

Didnt know a 266 came with plastic brake levers too?

 

Fancy metal detector worked on first cut today.


big damage means big file. 7/32 next to .25” file

 

Taking down some Honey Locust in the pastures. They grow and proliferate like weeds!!
I'm taking a few blocks off the trunk if they arent loaded w/thorns. It burns well.

Eff those thorns/barbs!! Dang.

 

Great firewood and I use a lot of it on the sawmill for outside projects, benches, etc... I did have to patch another front tire on the tractor last Thursday... They can be nasty, but I'm used to dealing with it. The heartwood has nice grain patterns. looks great quartersawn.

 

They didn't
That's a 40.00 builder saw I bought
And put what i had on it.

 

Coming off the bench
Still needs some load tuning,

Dolmar PS-9000

 

SKEETER McCLUSKEY got me thinking when asked what it is I’d like for FD.
Really don’t need or want anything, but since they asked…
Maybe matriculate from repair to modify.

And it came with stickers!

 

74.00 of big block power

 

Cool , one of them crankshaft type sun dials.

I just made one that is 2 foot diameter out of 1/4 inch aluminum plate and used the CNC for all the graduations for race engine work . However it might be a little large for a chainsaw.

Nice to have for sure.

 

555 taking out weed trees today.

The infamous "Horned HiBTU Firewood Weed"

Those things have popped more innertubes on my tractor tires than I can shake a stick at...

 

Is it wild honey locust?

 

Sure looks like it.

 

Helps if i put my glasses on! . Now i see the thorns in the first two pics! Ive only seen the hybrid thornless around these parts.

 

Yes indeed. Wild Honey Locust. Good firewood, but a lot of work to clean it up and make it capable of being handled.
