Hello,I'm 13 and I just built this yesterday. How does it look?
Nope. I don't have that around here. Just want to get myself a chainsaw for carving with. I want to keep my 194 for firewood cutting and I want to get an MSE 141 for carving.Hello,
Are you enrolled in Vocational Agriculture classes at your school and in FFA? That is a good SAE project than can lead to your State and American FFA degrees.
It is an absolute beautiful job and you know that. These days so many people do not use their talents, do not take advantage of resources they come across, and have zero entrepreneur drive. You will succeed. You will likely get ripped off from time to time. You will figure out a way to keep most folks honest but you will have started. I did my first tree removal job when I was fourteen and I knew pretty much nothing but kept going. Thanks
My first saw was a gear driven McCulloch chainsaw that was pretty old when I came across it. I think I bought it in 65 and it needed every thing like the bar was not in great shape as was the sprocket was nearly worn out. I pinched the bar found another sprocket that I ground to make it fit and away I went. It does not matter what saw you buy or even how you get it. The only thing that is important is to start. Options always pop up that you did not expect. A corded saw makes plenty of sense for carving. You could start cutting or carving any time with out bothering any body. Thanks14? Wow. What was your saw? Mine are a Husky 340 (1999) and a Stihl MS 194c rear handle (2023) I am also soon hoping to buy stihl's smallest corded chainsaw so I can do some carving.
Yep. I am not going to go any further than a MSE 141. I need to have a saw compatible with my chaps. I have a snotty old lady who lives across the road from me who has repeatedly confronted me and emailed my mother. She even gets mad when I am running my woodworking tools. As they would say in Finnish, she is Ykä.My first saw was a gear driven McCulloch chainsaw that was pretty old when I came across it.

The wood is dried and lights up great when hit for one minute with the propane torch.Nice job. Good to see young men being so entrepreneurial.
Hard to see, but the wood looks rather green. Firewood should always dry for a year (more or less, depending on the species) before selling.
Good luck with the carving. Keep us posted on your progress!
Thank you. I think for the price of a doorbell I can give a local kid a flamethrower and sprayer full of gas for cheaper and more deterring. I thought it was quite rude when people would wag their fingers in my direction as i stood there with a huge red arrowMight try setting up one of those door bell cameras so you can see when someone is picking up wood. You might be able to talk to them in real time on your phone and that may keep most people honest. Good job and remember, without risk, there is no reward. Keep up the hustle kid.
