That was where I had to actually buy some tubing. I moved the plastic bracket/mount up the tube as far as I could then cut down the rest till just before it stops being round then made a new piece to go between. Definitely learned a lot about welding thin aluminum and getting a TIG weld into an...

Finished the 026 wrap up this morning.

Probably just going to get a simple hockey tape job. Got the top dropped, had to order a little tubing to finish the leg back by the cylinder. Proportions worked out exactly how I wanted, looks like mini me compared to the 461. The big saw has the same handlebar installed.

Shrinking an aftermarket 460 3/4 wrap for my 026. 3/4" out of the width, need to drop the top about an inch. Good TIG practice anyway.

Shoulder season Alder for next fall.

Little alder this morning. Been a while since I cut one that was still alive.

Max Flow are nice especially if you like the larger air cleaner cover. Egan Performance Saws makes a foam filter that fits under the stock cover if you prefer the stock look. Both are nice pieces.

This alder was looming over the yard art tractor at my mom's place, it was a little rotten down here and way gone in the middle.

Drug the old man's backpack blower out in preparation for fall cleanup season. It runs-ish, definitely needs the carb gone through but info seems a bit scarce. Anyone happen to know what model this little Nikki carb is and where I guy might find a rebuild? Looks like a tiny round slide dirt bike...

FS90. Been in the family a long time, I generally have no use for a big trimmer like this but my battery one won't run the steel mulcher blade. First valve adjustment in 15-20 years of service, thing flat out would not run above idle anymore.

TS350 Super. I acquired this probably 12-13 years ago, I forget how. Ended up selling it to my dad who barely or never used it. Brought it home today expecting a battle, but I blew some fuel in it's face and it lit right up, inside the fuel tank was even still wet. Stop switch wasn't working...

On the tailgate since the shop is full. Wheels on this MTD junker were locked up, one bushing seized on the hub. Pretty sure those two pairs of pliers are worth more than the mower.

Absolute chaos. Switching jobs in the middle of completely rewiring my Jeep. Bench, welding table and home tool boxes are covered in electrical stuff. Got the Jeep mobile then I wedged the trailer in for the weekend. Still need to buy new 120v outlets for that EB5000 on the right side of the...

I have one. For a guy cutting firewood it works just fine. Plastic guard went in the trash with the box. The joints are a little loose but as long as I do my part it makes a consistent chain.
