    I finally ran a saw this afternoon.
    I was happy to see the Maple was in good shape.
    This Echo was a great find for $175.

    Mingo marker. Roll it along a log and it paints a mark at a predetermined length so rounds are uniform.
    Rather popular among some FHCers. I use a folding ruler and chalk.

    I have a Mingo marker and I found it only works well if you are cutting in the open and on fairly flat ground. Trying to mark a log in the woods where you are stepping over all kinds of brush and navigating being on a hillside is difficult

    That looks like fun! I like Echos, they sure are well made.
