Alright!!!!
First update Lolol
My OEM Rustoem paint does not hold up. First time out and have chips in paint job:(
Let have some suggestions on paint please. I went though a lot of time to make it look nice. I hope u guys have a better solution.

I know I can get a powder coat system from harbor-freight for 40 bucks. Maybe I'll give it a try
 
Not on my bench but on a card table in my garage presently, a Stihl 029 torn completely apart and cleaned, was awaiting a new p/c and seals. Some items aren't here yet but I did get the seals today and put them on the crank and set them in the crank cap. I ordered the correct sealant for the bottom end but it's not here yet, should be here tomorrow or Saturday then I'll get started with the assembly.
 
I'll be able to take a nice picture of my 24'x36' SHOP once the wife and I close on a property. Got the appraisal, sent it to insurance company for quote. So now we are just waiting. Closing on June 1. The shop already has air plumbed in on a big compressor, but I'll change that 'cause it's black iron pipe. I don't want any rust going into my turbine grinder. Lots of space. Oh, it has windows too. And a heater. And insulation. Maybe I should get a bridge crane? Maybe 4,000 pounds? Next year.....

I can't WAIT and it's a DRAG! So.....that's what's on my bench.

That sounds great Roger !!!!!!!
 
My bench is getting buried in saws and I can't do squat! It's been two weeks now since that 181se saw attacked my leg and its still got a big knot. Doc says I have to stay prone for it to heal.

OK.....what did I miss Lynn?

Sounds like a very nice setup fella. Hopefully you will get lucky and the prior owner had a dryer before the tank. You may possibly be able to keep the iron.

The Valspar Tractor paint -- isn't that the brand they sell at Lowe's? You mentioned you bought it in "husky orange and AC colors" --excuse me, I'm on the short bus today. What are "AC colors" :confused:

Saws look good from here. I'm interested in the durability and how the finish lasts on the plastics. Not saying it won't just interested in knowing. Thanks for posting.

My post from Fear of pavement's thread "What did you do today"
This stinking 181XP Husky put a knot on my lower leg the size of a hardball! Tried to drop start it without b/c on, fresh rebuild, gas squirt into carb. All I could get was about 3 revolutions, SLOW. NO starty! Then wham! A bare bar stud hit my leg.

Husky Critters:(:angry:
Today it finally felt a little better!
