My wife is in charge of painting. It is getting a solid color stain to match the cabin colors when it gets done. Just do a pole barn equipment shed. I am sure there are YouTube videos. I watched a couple on building a shed on skids and looked at some at the local shed place.

Shed got broken in over the weekend. Last time I was up the T190 blew a lift cylinder seal. So the work bench got put to use rebuilding the cylinder. Successful trip when you have/bring all the right tools to get a job like that done.

So the 359 after looking at it is a low time saw. It still had about 75% of the upc tag on the bottom of the tank. Anyway it had a 20” bar on it and it needed babying in bigger wood so I decided to wake it up a little with a muffler mod and a base gasket delete. I wish I had done a before and...

Pretty much done with the shed, just need to bring up some pressure treated 4/4 for the ramp.

Was up this weekend and got some work done on the shed. Got the roof on and most of the siding done. Also ran some saws around the yard.

The 359 is already at our cabin in the mountains joining a CS2245 my wife can run. From a practical standpoint the newer saws all day but it is a nice sense of accomplishment to get an older saw running or put a couple together and get a runner.

Tulip poplar, side wood from a timber frame I sawed over the winter for a guy.

Also lucky I have a relationship with the pressure treater a few miles away so the treated lumber came off the mill as well.

I’m building a shed at our mountain cabin from lumber off the sawmill.

Bigger upside if you get it running.

I was getting one of my vehicles it’s annual inspection and mentioned to the shop owner I needed to finish up work on a chainsaw at home and he said do you have any interest in these two saws back here? I was like sure and he said take them a guy gave them to me and I never looked at them. 350...

Sounds right in terms of the quality we are getting these days. My day is metal filled. I expect it a little when cutting cedar logs, but deck screws destroy a blade. 2-3" in no indication. 2 blades in do I go for a third or put it on the trash pile? What did you get for a setter? I have a cat...

Did you check your drive belt tension? I have an LT40. If the belt is loose and slipping it can cause blade chatter.

Mike sold me a butt ugly blank canvas 394 a few years back that I turned into a milling saw with a little TLC and a few mods and have never looked back. Ugly as sin means you don't worry about beating it like a rented mule.
