The muffler mod on the 076 has me drooling! That's bad azz!

 

[dall]

nice saws dave im gonna have to come see them sometime

 

[Definitive Dave]

Mike Manley did that muffler!!!
Lee liked it so well he has adapted several "spinoffs" inspired by the design to use on his other series 1111 builds.
Mike B (glock37) did the gorgeous powder coating.
I did the primary assembly but ran into a roadblock after about 14 months of building when the oil pump gave me fits.
Turns out i needed an undocumented specialty tool to re-bore the oil pump passage for a modern pump.
Poge and Brennain over on Arboristsite helped me out a lot and a really good guy over there milled me a crankcase insert.
Mike B has made and powdered some custom dogs for it and Tyler is making the custom top cover badge.
After 2 1/2 years the end is in sight
And of course we are already building another one

Very nice saws Dave. That 076 is very cool. Could you post a couple more pics of it if you have some.

 

[jimmorrison]

I have never seen a saw, that I wouldn't use til it died, until now. That 076 is true art.

I was all in till I got to the guy in the basement ---

 

[Definitive Dave]

That Solo has a 7910 top end that was ported by ECSaws. John Reilly built it and told me its the first saw he has built that he ever sold.
It has non standard carb, muffler etc. It may end up with a ported 4 cube motor because I seem to have a dearth of 5 cube fast saws.

Thanks for the kind words, I am a little bit of a PSP (little hehhehhehe) Brutus is almost finished and I will do a full pictoral layout when it is finally done.
I may have gone to some wacky measures to get it in tip top shape


WELL THAT DOESNT MATCH
Hey Baby dont look, I am absolutely not stealing any of your nail polish



YEP that Metal flake matches now and still slightly transparent so you can see the Stihl logo

Do your nails match?

 

[Definitive Dave]

[Jimmy in NC]

Brutus (sp?) is much more impressive in person. If anyone saw the jigsaw puzzle that started the project... it's even more amazing.
