years ago. Since than, I got a deal on a stove with a 8" flue opening. Can I run the 6" stove pipe from a 8" opening on this newer wood stove? New ss stove and chimney pipe to span 30' will run in the thousands. Thanks

in my body, but, why can't I copy something as beautiful as this and have it come out looking half as good? It is just making a copy for Pete's sake. I suspect the finish makes tthe difference.

Every time I have started a conversation here, I refer to something troubling me; something I need help with or some good advice. Not today. My Great White Shark was hungry and in a fighting mood. She, my MS660 Magnum, had a hankerin for oak, hickory, maple and everything in-between. She was in...

I was making progress, feeling good, getting there. Thought my ignition module on my MS660 was gone. It wasn't. Going to reattach the orange cover where I tested for spark on the cylinder--quite an advanced move for me!- and as I am feeding the little bolt in to tighten it down. Ping. Dropped...

I watch videos endlessly. I read books and articles constantly. I practice and practice and practice some more. I practice in bed, on the toilet, as a passenger in a car. I talk with xperienced guys about it, getting every tip ever offerred AND I STILL STINK. I take a dull chain and make it...

I have an old 044, or it has me. I am attempting to replace the ignition coil. I have watched numerous instructional videos on how to do it. I have read numerous articles as well. I was hopeful I could accomplish this replacement without destroying the saw. I was all ready to put the new coil...

I ain't nuts or paranoid. They talk. I heard em. "See that big moron? He thinks he's a lumberjack. Let's show him who's the boss" and the rest is my tragic history with these plotting beasts. Most recently, just as I thought she was going to purr forever, my dearly beloved 044 starts nice, runs...

what tach would help me not to destroy my MS660 best and cheapest? my hearing is fading but i swear when i go full tilt it sounds like it's revving at about 1.2 million.

Can't take one more video on chain sharpening. They don't show what I'm dying to learn. I need to see up close, magnified big time, maybe in slow motion, with perhaps a special, professional camera, the results of each file stroke on a CHAIN CUTTER. I've watched tons that tell me what to do, how...

Can't take 'em. They don't show what I'm dying to learn. I want to see up close, magnified big time, maybe in slow motion with perhaps a special, professional camera, the results of each file stroke on a CHAIN CUTTER. I've watched tons that tell me what to do, how to do it, how it's done, but...

all 1 of them ( I've managed to live through over 18 years of marriage) I have never cut through a log in a straight line. I have tried most techniques known to man (except using a portable milling attachment) and still my cuts resemble a delicious, full bowl of spaghetti. My chain was just...

is that you can't really appreciate the depth of tension, we who are sickos, experience over making decisions, at least ones that will likely lead to our ultimate demise. I noticed my 30 inch dia 80 ft high oak crying out to me a few weeks ago. Many limbs were naked. I realized it was hoping I...

i did it now boys. don't know what i did, but i did something. Used my 2 1/2 year old 660 mag for 10 minutes today and it seized. gas w/stihl oil mix, babied. hardly used. had nothing but bad luck with this saw since I bought it. Thoughts? anyone have a cure for suicidal dreaming?

ain't easy. I'm known for starting conflagrations wherever I go w/o trying. Best there is. It's a gift. My problem is, I can't burn wood in a wood stove with a propane torch and dry kindling to save my life. Which is why I'm here seeking advice from you pros. I was transferred a Big 'Ol VC...

I've purchased new chains that cut like warm knives in warm butter and I always hope that they will never grow dull. Soon enough, unfortunately, I forget how nice it was to be cutting with a super sharp chain and I become accustomed to a so-so sharp chain and before you know it, I'm trying to...

as usual, my expertise in all things chainsaws has been sought by the commoner. a real dodo bird asked me the other day why his guide bar had developed a sharp sliver about an inch and a half long on the edge towards it base. he also claims the "confirmed" right sized chain for it doesn't fit...

Purchased a chain for my saw from local hardware store where they sell Stihls. Doesn't fit my saw and they won't exchange it for one that will. They say Stihl has a "no return policy". Maybe another manufacturer is in my future.

d like to see if you guys would be kind enough to provide your best guesses as to how to get it out--for the newcomer too embarrassed to ask. I'll be happy to tell you who offers the best answer--in case some too embarrassed Boob decides, anonymously, to find out what to do, in case he comes...

On a slope, an average size but dying tree has a large branch hanging down, about 20 feet off the ground. It is on the south side of the tree where the grade slopes down. The tree is not leaning. I want to drop it in the opposite direction-to the north and up hill. It is a fairly heavy branch...
