What's on your bench?

[mdavlee]

I will get some in the morning. I'm loving that 346 you did for me. One question though, how do you cut the base of the cylinder. I can't quite wrap my mind about how to hold it in the 4 jaw and get it indicated in.

On a mandrel.

 

[Shanks]

Pic please. I was thinking square tube mandrel but wasn't sure.

 

[mdavlee]

Mandrel in the 4 jaw. Put the cylinder on the end. Put pressure with live center.

 

[Shanks]

OK. got it.

I've learned a bunch from these guys.

I'm porting an 084 today. To give you an idea of the size of this saw, that jug on the left is an 026 jug.

Here is a 026 carb next to a 3120XP carb, the size difference is almost comical.

Nothing is on my bench now. Got 3 chain's done ready to go to Missouri and the 7900 are done until the carb comes for Bills.

I had one of those smaller 3120 carbs. But only the biggest 3120 carb for this 166.

Today I was salvaging rusty chains. I was mounting them to a saw and running them to limber them up. I have about 15 chains now that are ready to sharpen. (for 20 and 24 inch bars)

I've got to go check my saw tool bag. Going to go get a log or two tomorrow. Need to see if I got at least a scrench and stuff.

Sounds like you've got some more work to do. Hope your hands don't cramp up

 

[fearofpavement]

The chain sharpening will be done some cold winter day when I light up the wood burner in the shop and sit on my stool with the radio on and start grinding...
Of course I have to have some spare time, some winter weather, fix the chimney on the wood burner and incentive first.

You give me too much credit. I'm just an old fart that tinkers around in a shed in the back yard.

Hey, watch them "Old Fart" remarks, kid!
