So what did you do today?

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

I made another cap and nozzle, this time for a tube of Motoseal. Stupid me parted it off in the wrong place and cut right through the bore. I tig welded it, re machined it and it’s good to go lol

Well not so much chainsaw related but we were amongst some cut up trees I need to split haha. Had to help this young lady give birth to these two babies. Had to play Dr. today but it worked out!

Ripped apart the dollar reading mechanism on "one of my side hustles" the soda machine at work. It totally ate its belt drive and looked like a herd of dust buffalo had been running through it for years. Cleaned-New grease-New belts...like new, and hopefully ill never have to touch it for another 25years.

Nice burn pile today, clearing up the dead fall on the pastures. The 350/346 got to handle all the small stuff today. Still breaking in the ring, about 4 tanks through it now and it seems to be getting stronger…I think

I found the right cable so I cut 4 pieces.

I added a piece of wire and it needs to be protected with epoxy

Built a widget on the back of the wood splitter to keep the wood from falling to the ground after being split. Started with a chunk of leftover grating I built for a dairy barn a few years ago.


Goobered it onto the splitter so it was removable. This beast is already too long to store nicely.



Split three pieces and broken it. Younger Mike looked at that flat lip and thought “that may catch stuff but it may not so let’s run it!” Well it caught a chunk and blew it apart


Back to the shop to add iron !! A couple pieces of 12x12x1/2” plate welded in at a slight angle to form a ramp should do nicely.


Wow. This works amazing. I split for about a half hour and it was the most pleasant splitting experience I’ve ever had with this splitter.

I picked up a Stihl 090 a while back that came with the OEM parts, but is currently sporting aftermarket parts. I had a pine log that I needed to buck up for milling, so I was hoping to give it a try. Had a 48" hardnose bar with 1/2" semi-chisel chain. Fired up fine when I poured fuel into the carb, but won't run on its own. I might clean the carb and try again, but I went ahead and did the job with my 076:

Split about 1 1/2 cord of wood today out of my giant pile, I fell like I am not making a dent. Oh and forgot to take a pic

Finished up a shelf thing Mama Bear commissioned. All kinds of strange design but I think it turned out okay.


Countersunk and plugged the holes and erraythang.

Gathered food for my saws(habit).

Red oak. Wife’s Jeep will be in the shop for awhile, so for now the wood stays indoors.

Do you get free sodas now?

 

[dangerousatom]

It’s my machine so yes and no.

It’s more of a courtesy to the guys in the shop and office. After leaving my previous job 10 years ago I did not have a place to store it. The seals and HVAC bits go bad if not used long term. My current work didn’t like their Pepsi machine and the crappy deal they were in on it with. So they let me bring it and fill it rent free & free electric, so I get to make a little $ on the side. Not so much now that soda and any other drink is so stupid expensive.

T’was a busy day today. Got the shelf stained, minivan detailed and ready to be listed for sale and the generator serviced. All in one picture !!


I also managed to get installed a rear dual SCV kit on Pops lawnmower.


And made some bar oil by filtering some engine oil into a bar oil jug through a paper towel. So basically a Fram filter

And made some bar oil by filtering some engine oil into a bar oil jug through a paper towel.

I do this with all oils except engine oil. I do not want any acids, contaminants, soot, water, fuel and such in my saws.

20+ years and no problem.

Nice shelf design

The petrol engine has better oil
I only see this problem with vegetable oil
