    Old Style MacDonald Aluminum Hat liner

    I had this same question. I know this is an old thread, but in case someone else is looking, I just found this: https://westcoastsaw.com/products/mcdonald-6-point-hard-hat-liner

    Is this cash only or could I use a card?

    Polishing 084 cylinders - Anyone do this?

    OK. So that's worth knowing. Thanks. Are the Cross Performance parts pretty good? For around 150 bucks, I might just buy a new one. Then I can keep the cylinders I have and think about cleaning them up later.

    Polishing 084 cylinders - Anyone do this?

    HA! Thanks for noticing! Weird thing is, I had stood on that log. I had looked at that log next to my car and truck (the log was bigger). I had MILLED that log. But until I saw this picture, my brain simply could not accept how big those slabs were. I hadn't thought of the "planking"...

    Polishing 084 cylinders - Anyone do this?

    I know, I know. Pictures. I'll get them up. But I'd like to know first if I can get the work done assuming they are rescue-able.

    Polishing 084 cylinders - Anyone do this?

    I've got 2 oem 084 cylinders and an 028 super cylinder all in need of a polish. I know I could get new cylinders, but if I can rescue these oem ones then I would rather do that and just buy meteor piston kits for them. Now, one great piece of Ancient Greek wisdom I have picked up is "know...

    Worth far more than $0.02, I am quite sure. Thank you!

    028 AV Super - Scored Cylinder

    Thanks for the info! Yeah. If I can get out of this for $50 bucks and a running saw then I am going to be a happy camper.

    028 AV Super - Scored Cylinder

    OK, so I am sanding out the aluminum transfer from the piston to the inside of the cylinder wall - I get that. How do I know when I am finished? Just feel? Also, do I need to worry about anywhere else on the inside of the cylinder? As for the rest: This saw is in GREAT shape compared with my...

    028 AV Super - Scored Cylinder

    "I'm batman." I love these gloves. Been using them whenever I do any kind of mechanical work for years. They save me tons of cuts and scrapes and constant grease under the nails. I know that makes me not a real man, but, at a certain point, I just get sick of scrubbing. Also good for robbing...

    028 AV Super - Scored Cylinder

    Well, I finally took this apart. I'm not sure what scoring is supposed to look like (this is a learning experience for me) but this doesn't look particularly scored to me. However, now that I have it apart, I am regretting not having cleaned it more. How do I get out of the mess I am currently...

    Anyone ever milled much Sycamore? (I may have already asked this.)

    Update: Cut some cookies today from what had been left on site. Here are some photos. This isn't something I've done much of (cookies). Would LOVE any advice people have on drying them so they don't just fall to pieces. Thanks in advance.

    BTW, that's the F-250 in the background I bought at city auction so I could haul all this wood around. 17k tow capacity. :D

    Anyone ever milled much Sycamore? (I may have already asked this.)

    As promised, here are some images. I like the look of the stump but am running out of space to store stuff so have to be choosy. I am taking the main trunk section (well, it was ONE of the main trunk sections, and the largest) to mill. Impact driver for scale on the one I am keeping.
