What's on your bench?

[bigbadbob]

My other bench. Lol. Making some deer chili. Good day for it. Cold and raining. Can’t believe I could still get parts for this pressure cooker. It has to be 40-50 years old

Most likely will be this old girl, was bucking a 24" tree I felled this morning and all of a sudden while in the cut ,went wide open throttle and only thing I could was kill it with the switch. Wondering if she blew a seal and started sucking air

2x 346 and a 372, all brand new saws, the 372 will get a full XPW conversion, including splitting and metal caged bearings.

Nice Dustin, I like that you are putting metal caged bearings in it.

Thought about doing an xpw conversion on one of my 372xp's

Any oil, fingerprints etc will effect the blueing.
Heat is good, hot metal means open pores.

Do not dip your rag into the blueing after you have applied some to the metal it kills the remaining blueing liquid.
Use some gun cleaning patches and use a fresh one each time.
If you want a real hot salt blue find a gunsmith. That process takes equipment, heat and knowledge. I did it for a while,it is a pain but it is pretty.
The acetone/cleaner will hide in the seams like where the nose connects to the bar. A little heat will evaporate it.

Clean is the most important part.

Those bars look good, i like it.

Try some case coloring/case hardening that would look cool too.

Nice score earlier this week....I think it will clean up very nicely!! Dirty, but looks pretty low use. Seeing the piston...didn’t have much hope for the cylinder. However, I’m pleasantly surprised... cylinder will clean up nicely. Got most of it cleaned up...just a few spots left to focus on.

031 is ready for fuel and oil and a base tune. Just into it for a new fuel filter, in tank fuel line, and a new chain. I had Tygon, the carb kit and plug.

Nice Kevin. Is that hard to sharpen? What specialty file is needed?

Twas easy Jeff, but I’m pretty sure that nobody is going to be able to file one of these

@cuinrearview. thought I would share a picture for you. I kinda have a problem this series of saws lately.

As Colin Clive said in the 1931 film Frankenstein, ITS ALIVE!!

Runs pretty damn good!

Going to JB Weld the tank for now and if I get a chance I'll pull it apart again and seal it up properly.

Picking up a new Oregon chain tomorrow after work.

Hope to get it tuned at Dan's this coming Sunday.

Thanks Jeff! It seems like a lot of the older Stihl models have outboard clutches. My dad's 032 has one, along with my 051. Actually the new Stihl top handle saws are setup that way. I don't know why.

I only started with the 0hs...

I didn't know they even made saws with outboard clutches.

I wants ....I needs.. I'm up to my eyeballs in dirty fire wood right now. Semi-chisel ain't gonna be enough Gonna pick up a loop of .325 and low pro tonight and try it out on Thursday. That pic gives me a better idea of how the cutter was formed. Is the carbide cap soldered or welded to the chain?

 

[RI Chevy]

Why .325 and not 3/8 Matt? Just curious...
