Vintage Chainsaw Museum

I have a lazy susan bearing on hand, I just need to figure out how to drive it slowly enough. There is a switched outlet nearby.

If you search for "synchronous motor" on Amazon etc, there are tons of these small low-rpm drive motors that you could easily attach a small pulley and run a v belt to power it.

I'll have to get over to your museum soon with Peter

You are all welcome any time, I recommend you check with before making a trip to be sure I will be around.

I hung a Mall 11 from the ceiling last week with the help of my younger son.





You can't tell from the first photo, but the 399T up on the entryway is now on a turntable but the bearing was a bit stiff so I have another on the way.

Well, it IS a '2-Man' saw!

[heimannm]

Indeed

Looks fantastic. Can't wait to get the Zogger saw (and anything else we find) down to you.

I can verify that this museum is worth whatever trip it takes to get there! Almost unreal.... so much Mac but there's even more! The Homelite display is really interesting.

Pretty soon, the property next door will need to be annexed...

? But how could Mark cut holes through both walls to connect the buildings?

I think @heimannm should use 2 Mini Macs for that, one in each hand, and just attack the wall horror-movie style! He’d have to video it, of course.

I'm definitely going to try that now...

Where's OSHA when you need them?

Seriously, weld them together, 16 inches apart, and we can get rid of all those Mingo markers . . . .

Safety first!

We had a little excitement three doors down today.







The "creamery" on the right of the burning apartments is owned & used by a local guy that does carving, the building to the left is our local lumberyard.

[Philbert]

Did you offer to help ventilate?

Philbert

 

[heimannm]

To demonstrate my confidence in the local fire crews, I continued to carry saws and parts into the museum during the event. My offer to assist was implied...

Meth lab explosion?

 

[heimannm]

One story was that one of the occupants smelled smoke, came outside, and saw that the gas meter was on fire...there were reports of reports as in ammunition going off during the blaze.

4:30 PM they are make sure it is really out.

One of our cattle workers, Mason, lives there and seamed to indicate a gas leak fire. It shot out of the wall in his apartment. He'll be spending a couple nights on my property til other living quarters are found.
