Good morning! I thought I'd stop by and say hi. Back in the states now (Maryland), so I've got a garage and my chainsaws again! Picked up an 088 Saturday along with three 026's, a 361, a 360, and a couple 460 carcasses. I'm back in school again, but I'll check in every once in awhile. My...

Morning all! Got a busy day today. I've got two appointments to conduct this evening on top of a full day. Halfway to the weekend though!

I got one that looks like that. Never could figure it out, lol. Just went back to my other rod and reel. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go fishing soon. Gotta get my homework done first. Started my next class yesterday.

Morning all! I'm back in Missouri. Feels good to be home. Its amazing how much different my son is after 5 weeks (went from 5 weeks to 10 weeks while I was gone). Now I gotta start hitting some projects pretty hard and get the big projects out of the way. Hope everyone has a great day!

Just checking in. Hanging out in Georgia until the end of March. Won't likely be doing anything chainsaw related until then. It's been a busy week with lots of early mornings. Good to catch up with guys I haven't seen in several years.

Where's that at? Gonna need all new sprocket, drum, bearing, washer, and eclip. He wants me to get him a new bar while I'm at it. His current bar has a little life left in it, but not much.

My Dad showed me a first today.

Yeah, they pretty much just make a few for family and stuff. I pretty much just showed up to help finish up and drink beer, lol. :Saeufer:

My brother gets some of the cover boards from work and there's usually enough left for small, thin projects. Nothing besides glue. Kind of cheating though. My dad has a shaper so we just set it up to make cabinet doors, then take a router and recess the back for glass. Gotta get more mat board...

Got to play around in the shop a little tonight. Finished up some Walnut frames for my autographed posters and such. Also, cut up some Walnut 8/4 pieces my brother brought home from work. Gonna use them to do some turning. They're only about 10-14 inches long. Probably got about two dozen...

Got the seals for my 045 from Sagen Spezi (Germany) yesterday. Hope I get a chance to try them out soon. If they work, that would be awesome. $20 shipped. Then I'll just have to clean up the case rot on the front of the case and she'll be as good as new!

Hot wash cloth on the face, cold water to rinse the razor. Shave across the grain, not against the grain. Best I can tell you if you're having issues. I have to shave every day for work, but I just use the Gillette Fusion, five blade deals. I don't have that much time to dedicate to shaving...

Just remember to use a small punch and drive one side of the seal in just a bit. Then pull up on the opposite side. Don't pry against the case if you can help it. If you absolutely have to pry, put a thin chunk of cardboard, cereal box will work, in between the screwdriver and the case. The mag...

Morning gentlemen! Coffee tastes good this morning. I feel like I didn't sleep at all even though I actually think I slept pretty good. I'm sure the day will go by quickly and I can try the whole sleep thing again. Have a great day!

I bought one of those, messed with it for ten minutes, and it's sat in a toolbox ever since. I use a flat blade screwdriver with a hook ground into the end of it. I use a small punch and knock one side of the seal in just enough to dislodge the seal a bit, then hook it with the screwdriver and...
