    I’m Done with Firewood!

    Well , not totally. I burned a full cord of wood this past week due to temps dropping as low as minus 52! The good news is I got electric heat installed today. Two 2000 watt heaters so now I can starve the stove for air and don’t have to wear a snowsuit and touque to bed anymore and no more...

    Ideas for Tavern Grade Flooring for Cabin

    Looking for some ideas for some rustic flooring for a 700 square foot cabin. Something that’s not just run of the mill. Was thinking T&G Doug Fir from some old bridge timbers that aren’t milled yet. Would random widths work and is T&G a must? I could also use ultra fine grain fire killed white...

    How To Clean Your Chainsaws Without Making a Mess

    Having five saw shops on my property, my shop of choice is in the living room by the wood stove because it’s been so cold outside lately. I have drawn the line at bringing an air compressor into my living quarters as I don’t relish the thought of getting oily sawdust from paper plate to tea...

    Chain Break Mania

    Ive noticed new chainsaw trainees use the chain break incessantly between cuts. The perfunctory click, click, click and more click drives me crazy. I know the most common injuries are from tripping into a rotating chain, but with these new saws that’s even less likely to happen unless the...

    MS 261 C Help

    After just 4 tanks thru a new 261 Arctic, I broke one of the screw thingys that hold down the top cover. Not the saws fault, it seems they don’t like to be unscrewed at 25 below. I broke both cams on the foot of the screw after applying excessive torque. I did a search here but came up empty...

    MS 362 C Arctic

    I traded this 362 for a cord of wood and just pulled it apart today. Looks super complicated to work on and seems as heavy as my 460. Anyway I’m concerned about the sawdust that made it through the filter. Maybe the previous owner didn’t have it screwed on right or it vibrated off. I only want...

    Ring compressor

    I just ordered this ring compressor thinking I’d receive the plastic set as all mine are broken. Anyway, I know I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree but I can’t see how I’d get this thing off, unless I take the saw completely apart and slip it over the crank.

    Ring Wear

    Not trying to knock Farmer Tec, but look at the ring wear on this single ring 52 mil after just 10 cords. I changed the ring with a new one, so will see how long that lasts. I can almost take these 372’s apart in my sleep. John

    The Northern Logger

    Published out of Old Forge N.Y., a great magazine to keep us up on what's going on in the bush around the Great Lakes. Old Forge NY is one of the best towns in the States that I have visited. The picture is a 36" cheery somewhere in Hillsgrove Penn. We haven't been anywhere till we visit Ole...
