    Yep. Raining pretty steady here soon as I headed out to the hunting shack.

    No lol. Our deer season in running till January 12th this year in over populated areas. Antlerless. We were even allowed to use any legal firearm during muzzeloader season in those areas.

    Well good luck. We have archery until the beginning of February. If I use a pry bar and then rachet strap the lid shut I can fit another doe in the freezer and tag out.

    And the truth is if they changed their metallurgy and machine practices slightly they would be making the best saws in the world. They are targeting the 90% of consumers. I know a guy who has cylinder heads made over there. They can make the best or the cheapest your choice.

    As much as I want to spend my whole weekend in the woodpile. I wish it would rain here all day Sunday. I can’t remember the last time it rained. And we’ve only had one snow that amounted to an inch. Terrible dry spell

    My Holtzforma G660 is quite the beast. The only serious complaint I have about it is the chain adjuster is whimpy and almost useless . I'm swapping in a 660 Stihl chain adjuster.
    I mostly use China Blu for gang bucking to stove lengths .
    Everything else about is is the same as the 660 Stihl. It's a gas GUZZLER ! It EATS mufflers . Lots of torque. Good speed . Vibrates a Lot.
    I'm thinking I'll get a 372 clone and an 044 clone .

    Seeing these machining/assembly processes makes me grateful that I don't work in high volume manufacturing. I couldn't be a bio-robot mindlessly performing the same mundane task day in, day out. What I'm somewhat surprised about is their lack of automation, although I suspect that'll change in the near future, at least for certain parts of the process.

    Whats surprising to me is the second vid is a Japanese manufacturer. I figured they would definitely be more automated.

    Meh…all they’re good for is stealing everyone else’s designs and intellectual property and can’t come up with a damm thing on their own. As far as the assembly lines, well, you can train capuchin monkeys to do the same. Screw em.
