Building a 670 to fund my boys buisness

[Johnmn]

Well I'll try to keep this short. My oldest who will be 11 in a few days is ready to start making some money. He wanted to start selling firewood bundles. I want this to hit the ground running because it'll be good for him on so many levels. I talked to my local gas station/hardware store and they were all for it. So he is starting there. Getting going on a business is expensive and I can't afford to fund it. Even if I could I wouldn't because what would that teach him? But what I can do is build a chainsaw out of this box of jonsered stuff and invest that.
So what I'm doing here is building a rare jonsered 670 champ with a gilardoni cylinder. They have a smaller combustion chamber and larger transfers compared to a mahle or ks.
Saw with then be sold / auctioned whatever. It will be a real time build and probably slow. If your interested in the saw pm me!

Not sure why he insists on wearing his hat this way?

Nice Saw! And cool idea. He will learn lots from this experience.

First thing he learned when he got paid for those first 25 bundles was how much money is actually left after bills!

Was this the builder I sold you?

Nope that's been built and on the shelf!

Cool idea. Been trying to get my boys to do this. There's a huge campground up the road, I'm sure reasonably priced bundles would sell like hotcakes.

Good for you and good for the boy. Mike

What are the proceeds for? It looks like you already have the set up you need.

Gonna use the money for some signs I believe. We got a bundler for free from someone that got out of it years ago. It's kinda wore out but it'll work until he can afford to upgrade.

Awesome John. Looking forward to the build.

Let me know if there is some parts you may need. I've been blessed by the guys here in the past and would like to give back if I can help.

I worked on this a little after work finally.
Saw is ready to have case split.
I have some parts here, gasket set, seals , bearings, oiler o-ring. Have a couple parts coming and need to figure out what else it needs.
