    I always get excited to show off a new tape measure too!!! Has a clip for your belt and a lanyard for a belt loop in case it falls off.. I think the saw and the wood are blocking it from view in pics 1 and 4.... Congrats!!

    Yes, and you don't even have to know how to read it, it has all the fractions marked for you the entire length.

    I want to rig up a rod onto a chainsaw. When you get a Marlin on, then it will be easier to tell it in. Just give the trigger a couple blips.


    Nice new saw!

    That had to have been a workout for that new saw. Looks like it did well. Congratulations.

    Having used the Stihl after using Craftsman my entire life (I haven’t had to do a lot of cutting but that will change now) I cannot believe how easy it was. What would have taken me minimum half an hour with the Craftsman, I did in 12-15 with the Stihl.

    Nothing like a new saw. Reminds me of when my late uncle gave me my first "real" saw. A Stihl 028 in 1985 right after hurricane Gloria. I was using the little cheesy Homelite with a 14" bar.
    Keep it SHARP, maintained and a lifetime of service it will give you. Be careful though CAD is very catchy!
