I'm not an arborist, but I was impressed by a healed tree I saw the other day. I think it may be an elm, and you can see from the picture how large a cut was that healed. I'm curious what you folks see, what species heal this well, what species don't, some good pruning, some bad pruning etc to...

We all love our favorite forum's main tool, the chainsaw, and a few of them have even made it into pop culture... where have you seen them? Bonus points for a bow saw or other chainsaw variant. Here is one I walked by at the local Book store the other day... click the image to see a full size...

Hi All, Maybe a question for our northern friends in Canada, but I'm interested in knowing more about the arctic version of the 066. Does anybody know what sort of output the generators have?(Watts / Volts / Amps) or what the handle heaters are rated for? Here is where I'm going with...

Just from JS Online in Milwaukee. I don't know anything more. Please be safe out there! A logger clearing downed trees in Chippewa County was killed Monday when a log skidder slid down a hill in the Town of Cleveland, the sheriff's office reported. The accident was reported shortly before...

So, like many of you, I've acquired a fair amount of slabbed wood, but my cup runneth over. I've got a lot of it stored outside (under tarps and the like) but I also have a 1 car garage that I can dedicate to wood storage now that I've got a 2 car for the vehicles. Some of the wood has dried...

These are like those used by George Nakashima ... maybe the are (were) for him. I wonder what happened to the rest of the tree... Sheesh these are huge! P.S. I found this first picture in the another thread on this site where people post absurd pictures... Nakashima's peace table

Well, I've kept my eyes open for one so I can actually make 1x's and 2x's without wasting tons of time and sawdust with the usual CSM, so this is what I found... Interesting in that it isn't like any of the other ones I've seen... comes with a Tecumseh power head (TC 300) attached, and has a...

I just bought a new golf piston for my 025 from a seller on ebay, but the rings had a bit of surface rust on them, so the seller sent me new ones. (Good seller to deal with) I noticed the new ones are a bit different, however, and I don't know if it makes a difference... The first rings he...

I've got an old 025 that I've been trying to get a new p/c for but I'd like to know peoples thoughts on the crank seals. Since it is a clam shell design, and the seals are bedded in sealant, once the engine is opened up, is it best to replace the seals, or is it customary to use the old...

With EAB here... it looks like there is now some interest in TCD at the state level. It will be interesting to see where this goes. As I hear, this is a rather nasty disease, and I do not know of any treatment... can any body educate us about this particular nasty? If only we could find a...

My boss gave me some old Fine Homebuilding magazines and when I opened one of them from 1983, I found these... kind of neat to see. I've got higer resolution scans if you want... just PM me. Enjoy!

Hi All, Does anybody here have any good experiences with anti vibration gloves? I've got a 009 (Please don't laugh - it has made good money for me in the past, and now that I'm getting laid off this coming Friday, I hope to be making more with it) and when ever I use it for extended...

Have any of you folks ever seen one of these... or have experience using one? It is a palette dismantler band saw, and it would seem (if the price was right) that this could be used to turn CSM'ed cants into 1x boards without the loss of wood from the CSM kerf. Yes, one would have to move the...

Seems we have had quite a few in the state recently. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/56238392.html

I haven't seen much on this, so I thought I'd ask... Are there any options to increase cooling on your saw? I run an 066 for milling only, and cooling is always on my mind. While I prefer to run the saw when it is 40 degrees, that isn't always an option. Do some saws (maybe made for the...

First the silly question: Are all (4) muffler covers for the 066 interchagable with each other on the 4 different muffler housings? I assume so. I'm going to do a muffler mod on my Milling 066 so the exhaust points down when milling, not into the log, and I'm going to do this by putting two...

I posted something similar to this a while back, but I've made some improvements, and included a drawing showing dimensions and stuff if you want to build one yourself. If you are newer to the site, or aren't ready to invest in a grinder, this may be for you. It uses the typical file guide...

There are those who can sharpen a chain on the bar without a jig, and then there is me. Because I wanted to keep my angles all equal, I made this jig that attaches to the bar with magnets glued to a piece of wood. Just put it on the far side of the bar, and let the edge of the file holder...

Well, I have the 36" Granberg mill, and I found a log I couldn't get it around, so I figured that a 56"er was in order. I'll be running a 60" bar, but once I get the 56" rails, do any of you think I need to get an extra cast aluminum support to use in the middle, or would I be ok with just the...

I've got several bars for my Alaskan set up with an 066, but I consistently get a very rough "Washboard" surface with when I use my 24" bar. It is very used, but I have closed and ground the rails, and I still get a wavy surface (It is an Oregon 3/8" 0.063 sprocket tip. I've used one chain...
