I'm betting Mastermind could do a good explanation for ya.....
My wife is a fan of Newsboys, I prefer the old Skool bluegrass stuff myself. I'm just not a fan of contemporary music in general. But the...
Welcome jtstromsburg! Sounds like you have all of your ducks in a row!!
We'll put this one in our cache, Grizzly Adam can do it because I'm not sure where he's putting them.....lol [IMG]
Hey...what's not to love about a hairy guy in a flannel robe wielding a chainsaw? Nevermind.....lol....
Mine are antiques.....1974 Chaparral SSX's. Very advanced sleds in their time, still a blast to run......just not real pretty....lol [ATTACH]
I've done a lot of TIG welding before on aluminum and stainless where I used to work. I had all the training and was ready to certify but the...

Trust me, I'd love to have new modern ones. But that's why I have old sleds. Very little money invested and they can sit for several years...
This saw actually has some sentimental meaning to me. I've cut some real monsters down with her....lol. I don't think I could part with it. But...

I considered having the hole TIG'd, but was wondering if it can be done without disfiguring the cylinder. The scoring isn't too bad, it's got...
I'd honestly like to stay under 100 bucks....lol. just bought an OEM handle/tank assembly that was like brand new, as well as the big airfilter mount.
