These *frenching morons just might break out the "massive, heavy, oversize" 24 inch bar for a tree that size.

Head to *frenching toe in bright hi viz. I have a high viz coat but it's mostly brown at this stage. Has been since two weeks after I got it.
Is the Coat have cut resistant fibers in it also?

Well then, thats just ridiculous.
I only thought about it because Clogger has some chainsaw proof vests and such on their website now.
Have you ever felt your arms or torso threatened by the saw? I have cut into my boots and trousers but the saw has never gone near my arms or torso.

I know a guy who cut into his shoulder. He was using a saw overhead, and it kicked back.

Only when I teach class , which is probably more dangerous than a room full of rocking chairs and cats.

Nothing is welded yet. The nipples are held on by magnets. The one on the recoil side is going to get trimmed down a bit. I thought about welding the nipples on then grinding out the ports. I have a flux core mig machine with .035 wire. Do you all think the muffler metal is thick enough to mig? I like the shrek ear look. Maybe some high temp green?

I'm going to tack them on then reinstall it to check for clearance and aim.

This is for a stock 395xp. The saw is going to live on an Alaskan mill. And pull a 36" bar. The nipples🤣are 1" emt.View attachment 398886

You're going to hate that. In my experience the left side outlet blows right in your face when pushing the mill.
