What's on your bench?

[Fruecrue]

These are on the bench. There's a nice doe on the table behind me, losing her skin as we speak.

Chainsaw, beer, knives, venison, headlamp
I can only assume a firearm was used as well...
That’s living my friend!

Not really on my bench, but more on my dads old bench, which I guess is mine now.
I unfortunately inherited this saw almost 3 weeks ago. Been home helping my mom cleaning up and reorganizing for a while.
It’s a Jo-Bu saw. I haven’t had a chance to really look at it much, so I don’t know the model or anything yet. It does say Made In Norway, which is cool. Jo-Bu went the same way Jonsered just did. Bought up by Electrolux a long time ago, and then gone.

cool saw Sondre.
We the norwegian should own one Jobu
I think I got two, one I got from a friend and one after my dad, none of them is going anywhere.
Maybe we need to start one Jobu thread Sondre?
Btw, none of mine is looking so great as your Jobu

looks great Doc!!!

Question, when you lathe out the squish band, how do you do so you can reach the corner against the plating wall?

 

[Backtroller]

Buffing out the hood on the simplicity. Teens for temp in the garage tonight so I'll be working in my shop. Guy must have liked driving through branches. Lots of scratches. Began with 1500 and wet sanded. Finished first round with the 3m compound.

My Grandma used to make Cowboy cookies. Chocolate chips and red hots.

I Think a JoBu thread would be great Tor! I’m surprised there isn’t one here already.
Who better to start one than us Norwegians!
While I’m here in Norway I’m going to look for a few old saws to keep here. My uncle has a lot of land and logs in the winter. I’m going to ask him and his friends if they have any old saws kicking around. Never know what you might find.

The boring bar’s cutter sticks out, about 1/8” away from the bar itself. I’ll get a pic in a minute.

After you get the jug all squared up, a process that take me about 30 min all in, you find the side wall of the jug, set that as zero, go up to the band, set that as zero in the other axis, the back off both and turn lathe on.

Next I bring cuter to band at -.001, then pull bar back into sidewall -.003. Then I bring boring bar down into band and start to cut, generally .010 until the final cut, which is .003. Remember, this is all happening above the top ring. So an extra .003 of space won’t hurt a thing.

One things for sure. Until you start to cut bands on a lathe, you don’t realize that the factory bands are off. The bore is generally perfectly square to the jug base, but the side walls of the jug where the plating ends and the band itself are routinely out by .001-.002.

This ones for you @Tor R

Two different bars I use. One is rotated wrong on the holder, I know guys.

Can you explain what you mean by "rotated wrong"? Do you mean the cutter isn't isn't parallel with the base?

 

[drf256]

Cutter should be square or slightly pointed upwards towards cylinder wall.

I got a near mint one of those. Some guys love em.

These are perfectly cooked

I was thinking about keeping the husky pair. But I dont collect and can use any 60cc saw.
Have to many of those size anyways.

Mahle cyl versions with decomps do not impress me whatsoever. First 262 that has made me say wow stock.
