Hi Julie!!!

You coming to Randys' again this year? I think after last year I am going to have to up my Pecan Pie game. I am thinking at least four, maybe six, thoughts?

TimeStandingStihl is a local friend of mine that I gave the VW diesel itch to. I’m pulling 47-49mpg with mixed driving to and from work. 2006 PD auto 6spd auto tranny with Franks TDi cam kit. Got about $3000 into it after all the work... 215k miles on the clock.

I stole Definitive Julie’s old Jetta rims and rubber when we drove to Hilton Head for vacation last year. Drove back through OHio on the way home so Dave could load the back of the rental down... [emoji106]

@tree monkey has (had) one. First one I ever saw.

A few threads on A.S. A few YouTube videos:

For doing rails my folley belsaw sharpen all does well, thinking a person could adapt something to grind the rails out wider/deeper but haven’t tried yet. Bought it and a bunch of stones and attachments for 50$

How much is shipping on 200Lbs of ackward sized steel from Iowa to East Coast? [emoji6]

Digging around tonight and thought I would bring this old thread back up. What did you end up doing with the Bar Shop? If anyone is wondering they are a bit more than 200lbs. The newer ones with a square tube frame and a trip hammer weigh exactly 280lbs

I have a basically new 1055 with the long table but it never gets used. Ole Belsaw made a ton. I have had 4 Belsaw planet/moulders also. I am down to two now with one being a barely used Craftsman version

@heimannm recently acquired one for his chainsaw museum:

This is the first barshop machine I have seen with the trip hammer and sanding drum accessories.

Thank you Lee, I have been home 83 days now and I think I have run more fuel through saws in the last 83 days than I did in most 12 month periods of my life. It is funny that the night I was dropped off the bus I had a couple hours to kill waiting on my son to get off work and pick me up. I walked to the bank first then the farm store and picked up a couple bottles of Stihl oil. When my son came to the store to pick me up he had my fuel can with 5 gallons of gas in it in the back of his truck. He read my mind. A man must get his priorities in line....

Awesome bill

Awesome bill

I forgot to also say he had the mix oil at home. As for bar oil he had my nephew dropping a jug off in the morning. As soon as it was light out I was ready to go. Big difference from where I was 24 hours before that

‘Back in the day’, when things were more expensive than labor, lots of people had their guide bars repaired or renewed.

Today, with labor costs, that equation has been reversed. People with really expensive bars, including many harvester bars, or unique, antique bars, will still often repair them. The number of shops that specialize in this work has decreased substantially.

i know its sad because they do such good work at that shop. he sells new bars too. their customer service is old school. i took a bar out to him that i thought was pinched on one side and he ran it through his machines and re surfaced the rails and made sure it was all true and handed it back said have a nice day. didnt charge me a dime. i made him take a twenty and he really didnt want to.

 

[Bill G]

Does anyone know if Chain Bar Repair is still in business. I hope so

 

[pbillyi69]

yes they are
