Afternoon you fawkers! We had a beautiful weekend mid to high 60s blue skies and today 75* occasional breeze and bright blue skies... Yeah, I took a 3 day weekend to enjoy the weather before the next rain moves in. 😆

I used a Flex hone. It didn't do the flex hone any justice. User beware should be applied. Lmao

I do not. I think I deleted it from my YT channel. I'll see if I have a copy on the computer.

I almost broke my leg kick starting my 450 last year... I walked around for 2 weeks with a limp as my knee was messed up and I had a bruised foot. Guess thats what happens When your mind goes to thinking about 2 strokes while your kickstarting a 4 stroke... I'm 220# and it tossed me like I...

Any Stihl dealership can order them. Or, ebay... there are various sellers that sell New OEM tanks. I just purchase the AM tanks, toss on a skid plate and Stihl lines/breathers/caps without any issues.

Good morning fawkers... Blue Skies, supposed to get up to 74* with a chance of a quick shower later. Love this weather! Almost finished up this 461 the other day... I'm running out of shelf room with these 461s. lol. Gotta find me another 044 so I can do a big bore again... Anyway, for shiiiiis...

It's 1pm and I made the mistake of going outside for lunch... 65* Blue Skies and a cool intermittent breeze... tomorrow it's supposed to be 79* and blue skies... I might have to take the day off and toss on the banana thong and flaunt my white skin to the Gods.

Overcast with light misty sprinkles and low 60's. All good here.

Good morning fawkers. it's currently 55*.... supposed to have snow tonight and cold temps tomorrow. smh. Next week is looking great, mid 60s!!! Got a few more saws done seeing how the weather isn't cooperating...

maybe in the fall or during winter, today is the first day of racing (practice) so a lot of the chainsaw stuff will be tossed in the shed and forgotten about until the weather is cold.

Had it running, but I didn't like the outcome... I then scavenged parts from it to make the hybrid... so now I have a 'long-block' China 660 collecting dust in the shed.

That's called "get the job done, close enough"... On a real note, That looks like fun. Would've loved for them to have shown the finished product.

No leaks around the bottom of the intake?

Making a Screwdriver for a hand plane... my goal is to have it look like the picture of the wooden driver. Im just using it as reference.

Yessir, I hear that! I spent many hot sweaty days in the VA heat under my rigs and many cold days and nights working on vehicles in Upstate NY. Slowly, I'm working back towards the hotrods and big trucks.
