What's on your bench?

I try to leave the shop and museum open even when I am gone for a few hours in case someone stops by and wants to look around or leave something to be worked on.

I came back yesterday after having been out most of the morning to find this...



The owner did give me a call to let me know the back story. He says he's not planning on running them for a while so I can take my time going over them.

There are a bunch of chains that need attention in the big bucket.

Some weeks back a fellow traded me an anvil in exchange for putting his 285CD back together. He said it just locked up when he was running it and had torn it apart but did not feel confident to put it back together. Piston and cylinder were fine, I think all that happened was the flywheel key had sheared off and the lost bit must have been jammed in somewhere behind the flywheel. The flywheel nut and the threads on the crankshaft were in pretty bad shape so I'm guessing it was never properly tightened to begin with.







I think those 2 Series saws would be a lot more user friendly if they came with a compression release...

Does the anvil ring pretty loud being welded to a metal stand?

And what's hanging under the counter on the right side ?

Jred 630V. This was a raffle saw I won a couple years back (not a runner). I got it running and found out the clutch drum was shot and the heated handle switch was broken. The saw didn’t seem as strong as I thought it should be. I think this might splain some of it. Notice the oil? That is what dominator at 32:1 looks like. I got a meteor piston coming for it.

That oil makes me happy, I am going to assume my saws look the same now after switching to Dominator

That piston took a s*it before the Dominator right?
