What's on your bench?

[MustangMike]

Well, I got this bench off of my bench! It is half round Chestnut Oak with 4" thick Red Oak legs and some 5/4 treated decking for feet so it does not rot (it will be an outdoor bench). The top got a coating of Spar Urethane, the rest of it got a translucent stain.

Since I work outside (my trailer is my workbench) I have not been able to touch it for the last 2 days. But today was beautiful, and I got back to work!

Made it for my neighbor "Big Chris". He is 6'6" and 350 lbs. He came over after work and sat on the middle and it did not budge, and a big smile came over his face! Then we each took and end and carried it over to his house. Chris is strong as an Ox, but about half way over he looks at me and says "this thing is heavy"! Yea, a little bit!

I was glad he liked it so much!

I also got 3 saws ready to go back to their 2 owners, but no one picked them up!

A MS 440 had a "loose muffler". Really, it was missing 2 muffler bolts, another bolt was cross threaded, and the muffler gasket was missing. Getting the cross threaded bolt out was tough for the entire length of the bolt, I kept working it back an forth so I would not snap it. I replaced the missing bolts and gasket, cleaned up the threads, and assembled with liberal amounts of Loctite and made them as tight as I dared!

A MS 460 had an of/off switch that did not work. Was jammed full of wood chips. Removed the switch, cleaned out all the chips, oiled it a bit, and put it back together … good to go.

My brother said his 241 would not start. Went to change the fuel filter, but it looked brand new, so I dropped it back in the tank and the saw popped on the 3rd pull and started (in run position) on the 4th pull. I think he must have flooded it. Just as well, his chain really needed a sharpening … he just does not keep up with that stuff like I do, just views it more as a tool to keep using till it doesn't work!

Oh yea, and I did 3 more tax returns and called my clients (who are related and are down in FL) to review them.

I guess it was a busy day, but not so boring as I did a variety of things.

Always replace.

That’s any easy one to remember.

Thank you!

Freshly decked 288 and 394

Found out that play dough works better and is cheaper than plumbers putty for blocking off the crankcase.

This was today.. Johnson 15 hp that wasn't pumping water. Water tube grommets were swelled up restricting water flow. Thermostat packed with gunk.. getting new grommets, thermostat, water pump kit, etc and the electric start is getting repaired. After work I put the new carb, fuel lines, filter and a new plug in the Honda powered power screed. Runs excellent just want to run it again tomorrow evening.

Nope. She’s got an 046 cylinder on her, though. Stock hda carb seems to flow enough air somehow
