House Handle company is all i see in the stores here and they look like garbage and have the tiny eyes. Thanks for the leads. As far as the kerf, i am fine with the cut kerf, i just want enough wood above the shoulder to fill the eye of the head. The end of the handle could be a 2x4 block, i own...

Looking for a good supplier for some axe handles. Local stores have handles but the eyes are tiny. I can't believe they sell handles that won't even fill the eyes on the axes they stock. I have one i need to hang with a 7/8 ×2 1/2 eye. I am totally okay with fitting myself and would perfer to...

Here she is in her work clothes. As I said before I am not crazy about molesting an original saw that is no longer in current production. Anyone have an opinion as to whether or not porting would get this saw to where it would pull a 28in bar? As it runs now I have more confidence that the 610...

In that case that seems to be a hell of a fair deal.

What a damn shame!!!

The Stihl dealer in my area is a Bomgaars store like TSC, they started dealing Stihls about 5 years ago and the "support" guy is the dewalt/ Milwaukee tool guy with no gas engine knowledge. He sets the saws up and he does repair. Nice guy, but i wouldn't let him work on the wifes weed wacker, no...

So as a newbie tell me what would the equivalent husky model be? Thanks.

I am still here, been reading old forum threads. I know some folks like to keep uniformity in their saw line, however i am open to all brands and as i said before WANT to try something new. I am also mildly interested in trying to get my 036 ported. I may not love the 036 but i appreciate clean...

I suppose the 036 should get a compression test, and check out the tuning of the carb. It just doesn't handle too well, and i dont enjoy sawing with it. I think it is maxed out with the 20 inch bar anyway. That is the biggest reason i liked the 272 i held, it had a nice feel, never have held a echo.

There are a few other options for firewood but by and large the most common tree around is Cottonwood. I save my Elm and boxelder for the cold snaps. I own a quarter of ground and I usually just clean up whatever needs cleaned up and use it for firewood. I have a Bryant furnace outdoor wood...

Why am i sick of stihl? Idk, i just am not real happy with the performance of my 036, the ms 250 cuts better on anything 20 inches or less with its 18inch bar than the 036 does with a 20. Both pulling .325 pitch chain. The 250 is a fine little saw but obviously designed for occasional use...

Newbie here looking for some advice. In this region about the only saws you see are stihls. I can't say I'm completely sold on them, i have a 036 pro, ms250, and an old 610 mac. We end up cutting alot of large cottonwood trees for firewood, about 15 cords a year. I would like to get a saw that...
