Can the 084 run both the HT7A and HT11 carbs interchangeably? I have a 084 that I haven't run in about 4 years. ( I had a heart attack) I want to get the saw up and running, however, I believe the carb might need a rebuild/ replacement. She cranks but no gas gets to the carb. Looking online I...

My wife got me this watch made out of Zebrawood and obsidian. I love it!!! She knows the path to my heart is paved in wood....

The munchkin is 4 months old now. Her first Xmas was a hoot!!!!

Here's my latest quicky project... Maple Jack O'lantern. Happy Halloween!!!!

I figured between the news on tv and random spats of bad luck seeming to hit everyone everywhere, i wanted to do something different and share some great news. Last night at 23:24 I welcomed my daughter to our world. I'm hoping to have her help me mill as soon as possible. :)

So these are the last set of serving platters I milled before the wife imposed the "eminent baby arrival project ban" They are Cherry Barked Oak, colored with keda dyes, sealed in shellac, then coated in epoxy resin "liquid glass" .

Finished another one tonight A piece of cherry from my scrap pile that just grabbed me. It's still drying but im happy with it.

So im waiting for my big saw (084) to get back. And i have a bunch of safety chain that came with my saw so i figured it was good for experiments. First think was un safety ing it. Pics below Next is practicing square filing

So today was ok for the most part until my car tried to kill me. No seriously, my car really did try to kill me. I was driving home after work and notice that the car was filling up with smoke. I pulled over and saw that my rear trunk area was completely full of smoke, I drive a Subaru Forester...

What are you all having....? I'm eating this "Korean Fried Chicken" which oddly enough is pretty good, much better than i expected. The chicken itself is red, and super cripsy. I asked the owner of the shop if this (the chickens being red) was on account of the war? But he didn't really...

Now my Father always told me the only Dumb question is the one that wasn't asked, to which i'd always say how'd exactly did you figure out that, which in turn would earn me a smack across the back of the head. Well in any case, the Questions i've been not asking in fear of feeling stupid...

This is some really scary stuff. http://www.iflscience.com/brain/biotech-company-use-stem-cells-reactivate-brains-dead It's like the beginning of every bad zombie apocalypse movie. "In retrospect experiments on the living dead might not have been the best idea....."

So i came across this log in my log pile. I must have taken it last year, but i have no clue what it is. I thought maybe walnut but it doesn't smell like the other walnut ive cut. Any clues?

Some pictures of my on going project.

My oldest girl is a Marine, C.B.R.N, full Corporal now, stationed in Oki, just dispatched to Manila for "training" . She's tougher than her old man now, and im just so damn proud of her. Anyone else have children serving, home or abroad? Lets see some picts.....

So I came across some cherry today it was too curved to send to the mill so the tree service let me have it. Unfortunately since the Big saw is being worked on all I have is my little Echo 310 with a 16 inch bar. So I did what any other addicted person would do and I rented the biggest saw the...

Had this log sitting in my firewood stack, it looked more like art than fire to me, so i busted out the echo and made some sawdust. The red was accomplished by using several coats of keda red,and one light coat of keda brown. Its finished in a 30/70 mix of Helmsman Spar Urethane and mineral spirits.

Thanks to Mastermind, I’m installing a CROSS PERFORMANCE cylinder Kit for my Stihl 084. This will be the first time I’m doing a cylinder and top end on a chain saw. I will be posting the tear down and build here, as well as posting some videos of performance pre and post-transplant. I’ve...

So i'm looking at making a home made Aux oiler. for my Grandberg MK III setup. I'm pretty set on using IV drip bags and tubing to hold the oil, my question is whether or not having the oil flow into the bar is worth the additional "cost" of drilling and mounting hardware. I only own 2 bars...

The crazy weather in the north east corridor has confused just about everyone, so i took a shot and tapped my maples. Thankfully, they started running immediately.
