hey bob, nice dawg's, must cut rather slow with the chain on backwards though.

Sorry the photo is not quite sharp enough to see the cutting edge on the back of the cutter - you know like reversing your shorts for a second wear.

Okay, since we are on this subject. I have a single spike for my 026 from Bailey's, but I need screws. What size do I need? Are they std. or Metric?

Everything on Stihl is metric...

M5x12 TORX. Upper bolt has a special deformed lock nut. Get them from your stihl dealer.

Never go to the hardware store for saw bolts, etc. Only use the correct Stihl parts. If a bolt comes loose lots of bad stuff can happen very quickly.

Good work.

It looks like you drilled the inner curves with a drill like I did on mine. To get a smooth transition between each spike and the drilled hole I used a dremel with a grinding stone and then a sanding drum to get a smooth finish.

I hand painted them with pot belly black and baked them in a BBQ oven. The paint still can off after a couple of cookies but the work great.

No one noticed that the chain is on backwards?
