Why I only find pieces of steel when I have a new, or barely used chain on, is beyond me. Probably didn't help, the fact that I gave her the beans when I felt it, as opposed to stopping. There's probably another 10 or so cutters equally as bad. I guess I needed a beater chain. So I sharpened it back up, as best I could and will run it. One of those logs I brought back is riddled with wire. It was a 1/4" rod that did this.

Don't try cutting a 20D hardened pole barn nail if u want enough left to bother sharpening. Don't ask me how I know.

 

[Sawdust Man]

That would be clean enough to assemble on the kitchen table.

Yup, we've built 4 of em on the kitchen table.....

I can imagine. This was bad enough. With as many yard trees as I do, I'm pretty lucky with not hitting metal, but today made up for that I think.

I pull out a folding TV table, set it up in front of my recliner and work on saws, Coleman lanterns, leatherwork or what ever and watch Tales of Wells Fargo.

A person just about needs a 3 foot diameter angle grinder to cut yard and fence row trees down.

Received all my parts to rebuild my extra 5.4 that’s going into the wife’s Expedition. The fun starts this weekend. More than likely I’ll ring in the new year out in the shop.

That's a fact.

I had a mental lapse, when I commented. When I started using cordless tools for my business, I started using Milwaukee. But, I did buy a 8 or 10 piece Ryobi tool kit in like 2005, back when they were still blue, and they still came with nickel cadmium batteries (I think that's what those batteries were). Even back then, they did everything I needed them to. When I switched to Milwaukee, I gave that set to my Dad and he used them. Not sure if he still has them or not honestly. I'm pretty sure he bought a new kit of Ryobi tools, that are green, and had the lithium batteries. And truth be told, if I were just a tinkerer and only used cordless tools for around the house projects, Ryobi, price wise, would be hard to beat. Nothing wrong with them if they serve your needs.

I was going to buy a Ryobi drill driver set but Home depot had the Makita stuff cheaper that day.

Remember Milwaukee Ridged Ryobi and Hart are all made by TTI.

Damn, that’s impressive. Very Well done. We must be related…

I just saw somewhere the other day that Ryobi and Milwaukee were owned by the same company. I haven't paid a whole lot of attention. Didn't realize it.

Kid you not.........even though we've never met, I thought of you when I saw the damage it did. Lol At least you can sleep tonight knowing someone else out there breaks stuff too.

That’s funny stuff…

I know that you used to be able to get a quick stop metal detector on a silage chopper. Maybe it's time to adapt the technology to saws? But then, any new saw chain will do the same job in finding metal.

I just got done fixing 2 of those “chains”..

Got up to 35° temp this morning. I don't hate winter quite as much today.

Got to be a sloppy mess on top out there! Bluffs are a slick sob to contend with,

My youngest daughter said I-29 NB is closed at Platte City north of Thunderdome. 14 hour trip only to be delayed on the last 100 miles…

I was kind of hoping the cold snap was going to hang around so I could see how her southern (Georgia ) boyfriend handled it. I had designs on cutting some firewood in 0* conditions.

Am I a dick, probably…

Fatality wreck.

From what I saw a box truck slammed into the rear of a flatbed 18 wheeler. Driver side of cab crushed.

 

[WoodAbuser]

Lots of fog. Lots of dripping. Will be an icy mess when it drops below freezing again.
