New to cad and as

[Herto]

Hi all!
I've used chainsaws a certain amount and worked on small engines over the years, but am only this year diving deep into chainsaws, for my woodburner and in the woods.

I'm particularly interested in repairing older saws, and I am keen on doing some porting and getting my head around it properly.
Cheers,
Josh

Welcome to AS

Welcome !!

There is an insane amount of info here on AS. The search function works well but I’ve had better luck searching with Google to find stuff here.

As far as porting goes there are LOTS of videos on YouTube University but the one that resonated with me the most was on the WestCoast Saw channel.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome.
I've been reading here for a couple of years and excited to get more involved and start posting my own projects.

Here's my first post/build. A dolmar ps341

Thanks Mike, it feels like there's a lifetime of reading on here. I can't wait to dig in.
I've seen some of spike60's videos and I'll check out westcoast saw channel.
My favourite on YouTube has been Tinman generally, and spike60 videos of the husky Jonny 272 series saws

Welcome to AS. May the CAD always be with you. At first cad had me wanting to go buy new chainsaws now I find old junk saws and see If I can repair them. Current project is a homelite wiz not sure if it's a super 55 or just a wiz. Also I have two xl12s that if I get my house repair done that I'll start working on them.
