What's on your bench?

[Mastermind]

You got custom cabinets and marble tops on order?

Ain't nothing special. Poplar we sawed. Reclaimed hardwood over 1x6 oak.

 

[jacktheripper]

Ain't quite there yet.

Can't help but look for clues haha. I've been watching timed videos of different ported saws on Youtube lately, and stumbled across some of your 044 builds. That got me amped up today.

Before shipping them out, do you tell the saws their adopted forever homes may not be as comfortable?

Just before shipping out, Mastermind tells the saws..."Don't worry, if you end up sitting in a barn under pigeon crap, I will still love you!!"

Maybe that's why they run so well. Trying to make it out of the pigeon crap back on the hardwood.

For now....we are still doing saws in the old shop that we've been in forever. This new building is being used to build bigger stuff in for now.

A nice one, can't hide money

 

[Sloughfoot]

Can't hide being broke either, says my painted concrete shop floor.

 

[Fleethirte]

[Mastermind]

My legs hurt when standing on concrete for long......hence the wooden floor.

I figured as much, probably had a bunch of it extra, free or cheap too didn't you? I can stay off my feet all day and my legs hurt.

The building is actually a pole barn style built with a floor in it. 3 runs of 2x8 joist under 8' long, 3/4" advantec on that.....then 1x6 oak.....topped with 3/4" hardwood. We sawed most of the lumber. The flooring came from a friend who does hardwood for a living. He sold me a huge pile of it for 250.00

Shop was our bedroom while we worked on the old house and unpainted concrete wasn't good enough for a certain someone.

TS350 Super. I acquired this probably 12-13 years ago, I forget how. Ended up selling it to my dad who barely or never used it.

Brought it home today expecting a battle, but I blew some fuel in it's face and it lit right up, inside the fuel tank was even still wet. Stop switch wasn't working, did a little cleaning and got that, ran a screwdriver over the carb screws and she's happy. Needs at throttle trigger and lock just like it did when I got it.

The cutoff portion is very haggard, thinking I'll slowly collect the 08/08S parts to convert it to a chainsaw.

JK - If you bring it to Bob Anderson's GTG in June, I'd be willing to deal with you on that one...it would be a great addition to my display. I would able to trade a complete running 08S that has a lot of paint missing.

Currently I am going over this 07. It was very, very dirty from real use.





Either someone had been using this to dehull sunflower seeds, or some rodents were using it for a vacation home most recently.



All cleaned up now, I will try to get it put back together next week. Parts of the ignition are missing (points and cover) but I have an 08 parts saw with spark standing by. The starter pulley was very worn and wobbly on the starter shaft so I drilled it out to 9/16", turned down a piece of UHMW PE to press into the bore, then drilled and reamed the I.D. for a proper fit on the starter shaft. The starter is good to go now.

They lock the crankshaft with a screwdriver by the fan blades, and even better ones hit it with a hammer / Uncle Google translates 07 as 2007
