Aussie big saw day out

[Brewz]

i have been busy building saws for myself and others but have not been able to get out and test them.

I have permission to go cut up some trees on a property close to home and he has asked if I can take down a couple dead ones he doesn't have gear big enough to tackle, one tree is almost 5 feet thick.

If the timber is good enough we plan to make split posts so I fitted a short hard nose up to the 090 for ripping the logs

A couple mates who are also big saw enthusiasts are coming to help/play.

Will be getting plenty of photos and videos so I thought I would start a thread

Here is the line up I will be taking



My brothers rebuilt 12mm 044 - stock
My 10mm 044 - ported
My rat rod junkyard parts 064 - ported
My 066 - ported running a 288 piston and a square filed chain @Deets066 did for me.
A mates 394 I have rebuilt and lightly ported
2100CD - lightly ported
090AV - stock wall rattler.

I can't wait!!!!!

You should send the 090 over to Randy for a good leg massage. Seriously no pun intended.

 

[Brewz]

The 090 was a beat up broken soul that had been dropped off the side of a truck and went under the wheel
I have repaired it but not had a chance to give it a good run.

If it goes well and is reliable, I will probably take the top end off it and do some work on it myself.
I want to give it some timber time to make sure all the weak spots are sorted

 

[Deets066]

Damn brews, your getting quite the lineup of saws!

Interested to see what you think of that chain. They are a hard chain to pull, even though it's only a 20"

Don't forget your video camera or phone.

Time for the big boys to get out and breathe.

I have put it on the 066 as its a good strong saw...... not as strong as the ones you guys run but I am learning and don't have the gear to do the uppers well.
I cant wait to run it in some timber.

I will be taking the phone and also my camera to put on a tripod

I am absolutely itching to get these saws dirty
I have been so held up with being made redundant, starting a new job and a massive shutdown that had me working 60 to 70 hr weeks for a month, Ive not cut anything up since September

Is it summer in the land down under?

 

[Deets066]

Is it summer in the land down under?

Always I think.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol

 

[Iron.and.bark]

Is it summer in the land down under?

Approaching it. Still spring for a couple more weeks

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahh. Ok. Just what I thought. Opposite of us here in USA. Thanks.

 

[Brewz]

Always I think.

I am 42 and have never seen snow in person

 

[Brewz]

Chains sharp
Fuel/oil tanks full
All loaded up ready for tomorrow.
9:30 at night and I just finished modifying mufflers and mixing fresh fuel
Camera is charging
8am start


Was just missing the 044 that was having its muffler operated on

time to scrape the paint off those bars.

 

[Brewz]

time to scrape the paint off those bars.

Yeah most of them have fairly new bars on them
In the process of buy and sell of a few saws to find ones I am happy with, the old worn bars went and I have set myself up with nice new bars.
I have been busy building but not been out to do any serious cutting since early this year.
I'm itching to test all these saws out
