It's a nice shop. I dunno if it qualifies as a man cave though.

Send me that pie ASAP ! Oh darn, wrong thread. You shouldn't tease a fat man like that.

I'd have to spend two days cleaning to show pics of my shop. But I can show some of it. I call it "the compound". Other than the beer fridge, people seem to like my air tool hanger best. Put a drop of oil and hang em up. I figure it keeps dust out and saves space in the toolbox. Save...

I got my buddies 025 off the bench today. had ordered Chinese parts. Wrong fuel line and coil. I cut my losses and trashed the Chinese parts $26 and two weeks waiting. Lesson learned. Anyways, got my Honda EU300IS generator and Stihl 026 on the bench. I will be starting on log splitter...

Send me a pic of where you intend to display it skippysphins. I just might send it to you if no one else has a spot for it.

Stihl was clever in early marketing. What's the difference between an 025 and an 026 ? Or you know a guy who loves his 026 ? Why not get an 029 and be boss of the farm ? Very clever...

My dad used to grab these for $10 at sales. They are starting to be harder to find.

CLAIMED by DexterDay. Allright, I been thinking and looking and believe I have something fun to offer up. Here are my terms. This item must go to someone who will display it ! Send me a pic of a door you will hang it over or whatnot. Special consideration for business owners with...

Claimed by dave53223 Well, in appreciation of all the info and inspiration I've received from y'all fellers. I felt obligated to come up with something. It's not much, but a functional 20" bar, 3/8 - 0.050. I can include a chain, it was sharpened funny so not sure if you will use it or not...

I was looking at the X27 pretty seriously, but it bothered me that I can't replace the handle and that the steel may be lower quality and require lots of sharpening. I decided to try this Ames splitter instead. I think it's the same concept, lightweight but pushes the wood apart. Website says...

Wow, I guess I should have ! The ones I ordered were over $50 with shipping. cleanup and painting already started, will get pics when complete.

That's a thought ! I found these. I may have to drill and tap new holes in vise, but might work. http://m.grainger.com/mobile/product/WILTON-Jaw-Inserts-6YA95

Maybe you guys can help me make a decision. This vise has been in the family a long time. Grandpa's, Dad's, now mine. Biggest thing holding me back from restoring it is it needs jaws. Spacing is different from what I've found. Also, I'm sure not as valuable or collectible as US vise. This...

Should it be open then ? Doesn't look like it hooks to the air filter.

This saw has a little fuel line on left side of tank with a plug in it. Should I just leave it alone ? Why is it there ?

Yah, in hindsight I think he just liked us because there's really not enough profit margin on any of that stuff to warrant the time he spent with us. One cool thing was after we bought saws from him, if we had an issue he would move other saws off the bench and handle ours first every time. I...

It's gotta be a tough racket being a saw guy. I remember when I was 15 or 16 we pulled up to the local Stihl dealer with a couple pickups full of oak. That guy taught us how to sharpen our chains right, tune our saws, etc.. We just had an 024 and an 025 at the time. But we wound up having...

Been lurking here for a month or so. Found it trying to figure out how to change 0.325 to 0.375 on 028. I need to pull that one back out, it's working with kit from Baileys but the oiler gear didn't look too good, I better take another look at it. Also, have a friend's 025. He didn't want...

The OP may have been referring to additives to prevent gelling in cold temps. While service stations will put in additives when temps drop, you can run into trouble if you buy fuel when it's warm and attempt to start a week or two later when it's colder. you can usually find Power Service...
