    Nice wood shed!!!

    As for the saw? There was a lot of dust being thrown.. A good and sharp chain will help a lot! But that saw does sound a LOT better! A cutting machine now!

    The chain had been rocked, i tried to square it up with my pferd tool but it definitely needs more attention. I used the same chain for both before and after, n other work or sharpening for a fair comparison.....

    Thanks for the good words.

    I'm looking forward to using my muffler tools again....soon !! Found these long shankers at a small local hardware store. They help get into better angles....with more precision ! IMG_20160214_133833865.jpg

    Menards has those cases on sale about 3 times a year for $19.99. Made by the same Co. that made my Husqvarna, and Echo cases. Only difference is that they are black and have no brand name on them.

    Well I always stored and transported it in that case, so in a way, it did just come out of the box! Those cases really do a great job protecting the saw. I see a lot of 028 wb's pop up in my local CL, and the ones that come with cases are always pristine.

    It did cut a lot of wood for me. For the first 2 years I was heating with wood, it was my only saw. But then I met you guys and I came down with a severe case of CAD... I was especially smitten with Mr DexterDay 's collection (until his recent Husky kick :loco: :crazy::rofl: :lol:) and I strive to follow his school of saw care - though I'm all out of Q-Tips, so mine aren't quite as clean... :)
