100% Agreed :handshake: Once I acquired my 61 and started working on that, my first thought was this is how working on a saw should be. Take the...
Miserable weather here so I put in some time on the 288 this evening. I’m still waiting for the new used OEM flywheel and aftermarket muffler, but...
A pleasant 45 and raining :picard:Just a small fire going with mulberry shorts and some aspen on top.
Good deal :thumbs: IME for firewood it's kind of unremarkable. Doesn't put out much heat or aromatic smell like black cherry does, but it burns...
Out running errands this morning I passed this weeping cherry yard tree recently cut and left at the curb for the taking. Not much, but not having...
First fire in a few days this morning. 29/70 burning up scraps of mulberry, oak and aspen

This stuff is already mixed at 50:1 so I was thinking of pouring out a gallon at a time and richening it up with Echo 2 cycle oil. I’m trying to...
Bit the bullet [ATTACH]
38/69 with another load of aspen going in the stove. This upcoming week looks like an April forecast if I’ve ever seen one :rolleyes: Plenty more...
This morning I got the bottom end back together on the old Husqvarna 61. [ATTACH] After dinner tonight I went back down to the lab and hammered...
As an all around saw to keep in the truck and easy to use all day I opt for my 50cc Jonsered 2150. It’s got enough grunt for the majority of what...
My coworker gave me a hand fortunately. We’re both adding to our walls at home so we help each other when carpooling, depending on who’s driving...
