Not much to report today, found this tray and put some smalls inside so as not to get lost.

Mine is scattered all over the bench, a tray would help. Or if I just put the damn thing together

Lol Few bumps in my road so trying to work around them best I can.

My time is the only thing in my road, just don't have much of it to spare

That and it was clean the bench and shop, cause I can't stand it any longer day. So it fit with the theme.

Every time I start to take a saw apart I find an empty box to put the parts in, then add one or two smaller plastic containers for the nuts, bolts, and small parts.

Me too, but I didn't take this saw apart. Lol

Large yogurt or cottage cheese containers work really well. All the screws and smalls go in a couple of those, and the rest goes in a box. I like the Spam can idea, though.

First fire up of the lathe, was looking for something to do, so while not very exciting, I shortened these fittins.

While premature, figured I would make sure I could start the thing when done. Normally I would replace the starter rope right away. Figured seeing that this is a test bed, and easy to change if it failed, left it be. D handle is AM.

I always put an Elastostart Handle & Rope on the AM starters. My old bones seem to appreciate the little bit of cushion they provide.

Tried some AM elastic handles, we're like stretch Armstrong in three pulls. So much for that. Have not tried any in awhile. Hope that they get better.

 

[MustangMike]

I ONLY use Stihl Elastostart handles, the other fail in no time. But I put some of them in the Huztl AM recoils, and the recoils seem to hold up well with the Stihl Handle & Rope.

I tried 2 AM ones, one failed on the first pull, the other on the third! Conversely, my 044 is almost 24 years old and still has the original. Some things are worth paying for, and they don't cost that much (unlike the rest of the recoil).

Just a little update, sent the mock up and some parts off to another shop this morning to have some work done for me. He's been busy lately and has been reluctant to take it, so this morning I asked one more time, and it took so off it went. When it gets back, I'll get some pics of it and the next part of the processes as they go. Bearings should be in soon hopefully, if approved will be able to move forward, finally...
