What's on your bench?

[tickbitintn]

Sure. I'll bring my "personal" 550. Lol

Randy (MM) did the machine work on it for me before I got my lathe but I'm sure my porting is not as good as his..... Soooo it's not as good as it could be...

Only saw i saw beat up on a Mike Toath 346 is a Mike Toath 5105. Same bar and chain, same sprocket, same wood, 4 second difference

Told you I love all the good saws no matter who makes them. Show me a 50cc better than a 346?

Still not saying a 5105 is better cause I love the feel and agility of the 346 better

Even the smaller 45cc version of the 346 hauls ass. You better have a special 50cc saw to catch a good 346xp NE.

Tension ?

Matt, I was chainsaw milling an Ash log one time and it literally imploded due to tension. All of a sudden we started hearing loud pops and we jumped back and it literally imploded in front of us. Was very scary!

 

[RI Chevy]

Was the log straight to begin with Mike?

 

[MustangMike]

Must have been, we were planning to use it for the Cabin post + beams, so we would not have been milling a crocked piece. (Note: it is all Ash)

Luckily, we milled extra, cause you loose some due to warping or checking. All were 6.5" X 6.5".

For the cabin we used: 8-12'; 2-17'; 4-20'; and 3-27' pieces. The Cabin is 20' X 24' and 2 stories high. The two sides each need 4-12' posts spaced 8' apart. The two 17' posts are in the middle, front and back, to support the Ridge Beam. The 4-20' beams go across attached at 8' high to the posts. The 3-27' are across the top of the 12' posts on each side, providing 1.5' of overhang on each end. The dimension of the Ridge Beam was 3.5" X 9.5" X 27'. We used the other pieces milled from that log for the stair stringers.

Nice Mike. If you have any pics of the finished cabin I'd be interested in seeing them. [emoji106]

 

[MustangMike]

Here is the finished product:

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow Mike! Nice!!!
So your off the grid?
I like it...

 

[MustangMike]

Framing. All the posts + beams were milled with stock 70 cc saws (441 and 044) using a Beam Machine.

It would have gone so much faster with the ported 90 cc saws I currently own!

Construction spanned 2013-2017, and is still a work in progress.

 

[MustangMike]

Yes, we are 2 miles in on a 4WD road, on mountain top overlooking the Cannonsville Reservoir (the last in the NYC watershed).

Elevation is about 2,200 feet. It is built in an old Bluestone Quarry.

Really nice getaway spot Mike! [emoji108]

Tried tweaking the clamp and grease inside the boot.

This was on the outdoor bench,
Weedeater was a package deal with it.
