Anyone interested in a get together in West central/ NW Ohio? I'm roughly halfway between Toledo and Dayton, about 20 miles West of Lima Ohio. 2 1/2 hours from Indy, 1 hour from Fort Wayne IN. The date would be June 8. The idea started when I took down a big (for me) cottonwood tree that...

Hi, I am thinking of hosting a get together in early summer but I have a lot of questions. I have only been to one GTG and followed a couple on AS. I don't have a picturesque clearing in a woods or a rolling pasture to have it in, just my own little 3 acre rectangle of paradise :msp_biggrin...

Christmas morning, presents are all open, kids playing their new wii games. The dogs assumed their normal places in front of the fireplace. Lets see your dogs (or cats) enjoying the heat. Tomorrow we're supposed to get 5-9 inches of snow and 25 MPH winds. That should be fun.

I must be losing my mind:dizzy: I want to use advanced search to get my results by individual posts, not threads. If my results show up in a 1,000+ page thread, there's no way to find it. I'm pretty sure I've done this before, but for the life of me can not figure out how this morning. Maybe I...

The last time I was cutting wood, my PM800 started loosing power. Out of the wood, it seemed to be plenty rich, but at WOT it would clear out then start screaming as if it were way too lean. I suspected the pulse line or intake boot was cracked. The pulse line looks good and seems pliable...

Does the search engine now only search posts made since the software change? I tried finding an old post of mine and can't find it. I also tried under my user name where it says find all posts by... and still shows up as no results. I tried under advanced search as well. :mad: Any help would be...

Dogs always seem to know the best spots to lay. At least at this time of year I always know where to find them. :hmm3grin2orange: If I want a seat by the fire, I have to share :laugh: Actually, I don't normally allow that, that's why my wife snapped the picture. It's just...

I need a little guidance. I sharpen a couple saws for an older friend of mine. He is not a chainsaw fanatic, just a homeowner with a couple saws for grounds upkeep. He mentioned that this 025 of his runs and cuts great, but won't idle, so I said I'd look at it. Here's where I get lost. I...

Need advise:help: I don't see the critters that are devouring my Hickory but I suppose they are carpenter ants. At this rate, I won't have much wood left for January :mad: If I spray them with insect killer, could that make poisonous fumes in the fireplace?? With the way they bore into the...

Not exactly chainsaw related, but I would guess most of you Stihl chainsaw owners also buy other Stihl OPE. I am looking for a high quality string trimmer, for the most part I have it reduced down to the FS110 or FS130 although I am open to suggestions. It is just for homeowner use on 3 acres...

What is the difference between the 066 bar mount and the 088 bar mount? I am trying to fit a 36 inch bar to a McCulloch SP105. I have it on good authority that the 066 mount bar will fit with just oil hole mods. But I found a good deal on a 088 bar. Is there somewhere that I can find specs with...

My main firewood saw is a McCulloch 10-10s that the original owner bought in 1984. The other one I use regularly is a Pro Mac 10-10 from the 1970's that was my dads. My limbing saw is a Craftsman branded Poulan 2000 that I bought new in the late 80's. I take my other relics out occasionally to...

I just started tapping into my supply of Pin Oak that I cut last spring. Some of the pieces have crusty red deposits on them that I assume is sap that weeped out while drying. My question is will these deposits cause creosote when I burn it? It doesn't come off real easy but I'm sure it would...

I found this caterpillar while splitting wood this morning.I find it amazing how this critter can bore into solid hardwood. I'm not sure what the wood is, it smells like oak but doesn't look much like it. It was not rotten at all, very solid except the tunnels this guy was making. I don't...

OK, we have been burning since October, but I finally got the gumtion to get the last piece of trim on, so I can say it is officially complete. We started by tearing out the old brick chimney back in June. It went from the basement floor to 4 ft above the second story peak. Made a bunch of trips...

While using the search feature, I see many of you recommending Yamabond sealant. I searched online for it and see that there are many varieties of it. Yamabond 4 motorsports, Yamabond 5, 6B, 7 and 14:confused:. By reading the description, I've eliminated the Yamabond 7 and 14. Which one do...

I picked up a late 60's McCulloch MAC 10-10 as a parts machine. It looked complete and in pretty good shape so I thought I would get it running. Piston has some scoring and only has 105 psi compression. I installed new NOS points, gapped at .019. Set the flywheel to coil gap to .010. Flywheel...

Hope this is the correct forum for this, I didn't see a listing in the sponsor forums. I just wanted to thank Scott from Chainsawr.com, an AS sponsor. Got some old Mac parts I needed. Scott was very friendly and helpful via email and I recieved the order just two days later. :clap: Parts were as...

Or so it seems. I come home from my second shift job, top off the fireplace with a couple overnighters, check new posts on AS, and then sit down in my comfy chair to monitor the fire. The next thing I know it is 4am, my neck has a terrible crick in it, and drool is running down my chin. Does...

Seeing this thread awhile back http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=105611&highlight=remington I started thinking, what is the most aesthetically pleasing saw. I don't care about weight, performance, or manufacturer. Just the saws that look cool. I had never seen this remington...
