What's on your bench?

[blsnelling]

I did just finish up a couple brand new 346XPs. Here's my new to me tank vent solution, from an Echo.

What's one of them go for. The husky axe

28" hard wood handle, 3 1/2 lb head for driving wedges...a favorite of mine

Husqvarna doesn't have an offering in that size. I'm looking for a Gransfors Bruk American Felling Axe with a 32" handle to fit that bill. They're very hard to come by here in the US.

I wasn't particularly speaking about husky axes, but that is information I didn't know!

Let's talk about that tank vent Brad.

It was nice meeting you a few weeks ago, Brad

Axes are my newest thing. I've collected >40, mostly old vintage Plumb axes.

These Husqvarna axes are hand forged in Sweden, perhaps the best value on the market right now.

All three started with the same forged finish. I use a Multitool belt grinder attachment to polish them.

I've been using that particular hatchet for 4-5 years now I think..it's the perfect weight for its size and seems to be of excellent quality.

I was going to post some pics, but didn't have my phone on me. Let me go grab it.

Husqvarna axes are the best bang for the buck on Swedish steel, I have the forest ax and carpenters ax. The only new wood choppers I bought. Both where under 75 shipped each.

I just finished two brand new 346XPs. I've found that a ported 346XP will often go lean in a long cut due to the tank vent not being able to flow enough air. The tank draws a vacuum, and the saw goes lean. I've tried different methods of modding them over the years. I decided I wanted something different on these two saws. I started by removing the guts of the factory vent, then re-assemble with only the large outer piece. This allows it to flow plenty air, but it'll also leak fuel pretty badly when full and on it's side. That's not a good deal, since we all know about the "sideways balance" of the 346XP, lol. I posted a thread over yonder, looking for a hose end tank vent that would work in this scenario. It needed to be small, flow plenty of air, and be a true one-way valve. It turns out that Echo makes the perfect little hose end vent. Many of you probably already knew about this part, but I didn't. It's the perfect solution to my problem.

Where did you get it from Brad?

I'm glad you asked! I got these from Nate, @fordf150 , at Performance Outdoor Equipment, right here in Ohio. https://performanceoutdoorequipment.com/

One of my favorite dealers.

Picked up a vice. Seriously heavy. No name though and it's been painted a few times. If I ever get time I'd like to sandblast it and repaint it. I'm going to have to reinforce my bench for this big guy though.

How many do you fellers want? I know a guy.

Do they come in ten packs?

Sir yes sir.

I probably take the award for having the heaviest saw on my bench today, it is a Stihl TS760 concrete saw...I didn't really want to work on it but someone twisted my arm and I think I pulled a muscle putting the thing on my bench...I don't know how those guys could use them very long..

 

[a. palmer jr.]

It's done and off to the next one. I have 8 saws, 12 trimmers, 10 blowers and 13 mowers so not much time to screw off today.

It's usually the front one that gets stripped out...

Customer stripped the rear bar stud in the engine sump on a ms310. Replacing sump and seals. [emoji17]

Brad are you still gutting the factory vent in the tank housing and then adding a piece of fuel line to tuck the echo vent in next to the carb? Just trying to get an image.
