I started out having my wife do them on her cricut then moved on to a Brother scan n' cut. The rest is history .

I am still small scale, personal use and for a few people...the Cricut works great for me. My wife complains that I use the Cricut more than she does.

I've scaled up....

I just got this PM 805 from vinnywv.I put a 28 in.bar & chain on it,fueled it up & added oil & within a few pulls it fired right up.It runs & oils very nicely.

I have a pretty nice PM805 in the display.

It wasn't so nice when it arrived.



Much better when I got it done.

The 805 I have was a cherry but it had bad chrome .Saved the piston and found a decent 850 cylinder .Ran good until I ran it out of gas.Then with a straight gas prime,by mistake I cooked it .Never one to give up I found a rough looking early model 850 with a good engine,cheap .Only those who knows those saws could tell it from the proper cylinder etc .Handles a 32" with style in oak .

Just a word IMO .I have the 805 another 850 and an SP 81 .Compaired to a Husqvarna 281 the Husky will slightly out cut them but the Macs have slightly more lugging power .Evidently wider power band . All stock engines except some relief work done on the mufflers .

Nice work on that 805 Mark! Vinnywv tore my saw down & cleaned it thoroughly,then put a new fuel line & filter in it & tuned it.Originally he was gonna put it on feebay,but we worked out a deal that was satisfactory to us both & I now have the 805.I can't wait to put this saw in wood!

I've always loved seeing oil &dirt caked saws, the coating seems to help protect them from the elements almost like the old timers used to spray the underneath of their cars with oil and drive down a dusty road for rust proofing...
