    So what did you do today?

    I boiled transmission chains back to life. Sadly, I forgot to take before pictures. First soup Third soup The fluid is a mix of industrial grade mill "lube & flush" oil, WD-40 & Loctite SF7063

    The dogs of OPEforum

    Pup was bored with what I was doing. I arrangend a spot for her under the firepit roof with a carpet & water bowl, yet she turned herself into a pretzel on the lawn in a drizzle of rain.

    Husqvarna battery is stuck

    Built in failure point so they can make $$$ off of it?! 🤔

    So what did you do today?

    My dad turned truck brake drums into livestock water & food bowls. So much material on them they won't rot away for decades.

    So what did you do today?

    Is it an inverter welder and does it only feature one knob to "control the intended workpiece thickness"? If so I have one of those and it is amazing. Did a 1.0mm wire spool like a champ, then a 0.8mm spool, but now I am out of those gauges and it is loaded with mere 0.6mm flux wire. I need to...

    So does anyone fish or just nah???

    I don't make flies, I swat them and then deal with the smush on the wall. I got some gear, doubt I will ever use it. Most likely going to gift it to a good friend.

    Diagnosing tooth shape

    You are not pushing Your file in a straight stroke. I really like the Archer FastFiler roller guides, they also help keep near identical cutter length featuring side and depth rollers. Con is You are comited to the guides angle, unless You make custom side rollers. I did the latter.

    Flap Wheels for Mower Blade Sharpening

    5" angle grinder with stone grinding wheel here. My mower utilizes a blade featuring steep upward wings to throw the grass out. Lets just say that the wings are gone from wear before I need to worry about grinding off too much.

    Making my own flywheel pullers for Stihl equipment (and possibly others)

    Thank You for the ping, but I am not knowledgeable in terms of Stihl-anything. Looks simple enough to make unless You have to buy needed taps & dies, then it'd be cheaper to just buy the tool itself https://www.ebay.com/itm/234782978801

    Favorite semi skip chain

    Why try half measures? Go straight for SUPER-Skip .404" Superior cutter longevity, many fewer cutters to sharpen, much less PH load. Your MS390 will love it!

    Firewood thread!!! Let's see what you got!!!!

    I have several smaller unprocessd fields that I would let tree services drop anything resembling firewood. Alas, no such thing happening here! Good for You :thumbsup:

    Random pics (that you took) thread...

    I found a bi-metal actuated thermometer. Will cross refrence its accuracy with a digital one. I am sure it will be fine for a estimated temp located by the fire pit.

    Who makes this chain

    It is a Husqvarna 36 or something like that clutch tool. I made that one just because, I have no use for it and I wasn't asked to make it. I had to buy Husqvarna clutches to make the tools and the eBay seller had that one too so I got it as well. The Husqvarna 353 tool was a request. Aparently...

    Who makes this chain

    Most screnches are just preased round seamed tubing, soft. A socket is a better workpiece choice. I chose and really like the properties of high tensile ISO12.9 grade bolts as raw stock.
