What happened to her

What happened to her

Apparently I effed up the install of one circlip and it broke or came out and she ate it at full speed. At least when I bought the box of parts it came with a spare cyl which I then had ported by @Crocky28 with the port job he donated for the sawmikaze fundraiser. The spare cyl is missing some fins…guess now I have a donor cyl for those fins. I was gonna build another bottom end for the ported cyl, now I get to try it early.

Damage limited to the top? Did you film the failure?

Seems like it so far. She was good at lunch break and blew after work. Went to cut some wood and try to cheer up after hearing Jed Walters (from guilty of treeson) got killed.

I guess I now have a cyl to rob fins from for the ported one.

Yeah, was just talking about him, makes you step back a moment.
I'd like to be out cutting, but it gets light at 11:30 here, dark a minute after noon. Will be a few more weeks before I can do anything but weekend work.

Wow, that’s some of the worst damage I’ve seen. What kind of circlip was it? Ears?

I was thinking about it more and earlier I was working on semi chisel in dry hard Euc. I think I heard a clatter I assumed was chain chatter, might have been it.

That’s had to hurt .

I hurts pretty bad when you’re the one that built it.

I paid $200 for a box of parts. $86 for loaded clutch cover. Piston…Woodslasher donated top cover and electrical. Luckily it came with a spare cyl. I just bought another box of parts, two saws but I think I’m gonna be upside down on that.

I always trim those ears down to just a nub, just enough to get ahold of.

On the bright side you still have a good bottom end

That’s what my wife says.

I have spare cylinders and bottom ends, top covers… need tanks and some smalls probably.

 

[Reveller Saws]

In Vermont?

Yes (exaggerated heavily) in VT. I'm far from the furthest north, but it's frustrating to go to work at sunrise and get home after dark. I work the opposite shift of David, I cut in the summer, build saws in the winter.
