Picked up another Barker Rim Circle saw today. It was the small version.

Started the reassembly of the PM Canadien 21 on the weekend, but that got put on hold as I had some firewood to go cut with my father, and I needed a carb kit.
These are beautifully well engineered saws that are very simple to work on.

Little bit more done last night, now I just need to figure out a bar and chain and get the muffler back on.
Tried to fit a couple bars last night but the studs are bigger than old homelite/mac mount so I will have to see what I can find.

Very nice work!
Other than Ebay where can you find parts for these saws?

Very nice work!
Ditto. Outstanding. I imagine you've seen this vid before. Gotta wonder what nearly 5000 viewers disliked about it. I found it pretty interesting, myself. I've seen a few others like it as well. Last one was a Russian guy rebuilding an old Russian saw. Takes a lot of time to put a stop action vid together!
That was just too cool!

You need to know people who have part saws.... the last couple saws I've done full restorations on have been on the rarer side, so I reached out to the community on here for parts, and through the incredible generosity of a few members I've been able to put together some nice running saws. Starting with a solid complete saw I the best advice I have. Don't pay too much for a wreck.
The good thing about the older (1950s) vintage saws is that seals, bearings and piston rings tend to be common inch sizes so they are readily available. Add to that the fact that most manufacturers shared common parts across models and it makes it easier. For saws that I intend to use a bunch I usually cobble together whatever I can to make them work. I also have access to a lathe and mill, so I can make parts when needed.
Check ebay for "PM Canadien" almost nothing on there. Nothing at all for this model. Which I consider strange seeing as they made a bunch of them. I also find it strange when I travel across BC and Canada, that certain brands seem very prevalent in small pockets. For instance, the 3 valley gap museum (near Revelstoke) has large PM saws laying around everywhere, but I've only seen a couple in the lower mainland for sale in the past 5 years, even though they were made here (lots of 330/340s though). Similarly it is quite rare to see 10 series mccullochs for sale in the lower mainland, but there seem to be more in the east kootenays and on the island. I do see lots of pioneers around here though. And homelites.

Yeah, I can't imagine the hours some of the youtubers have into creating their content. I barely stop to take photos when I am building a saw. Usually only of things I think i'll forget how they go together, or when the saw is mostly complete.

Fun with flying wood chips

Stumbled into a garage sale yesterday and look what was there.
I drove away with a total of 18 saws. I sold 14 of them before the sun set

This the Disston DO-100 I got out of the pile. Cleaned it up freed up the stuck piston, replaced the coil and it's a runner.

Very cool. I still don't understand how 5000 viewers could give that presentation a thumbs down. Truly baffling to me.
Well Pogo,obviously there are 5000 morons out there.How many thumbs up were there?

Where do the Lombards and David Bradley's fall? I picked up 3, 2 Lombards and a Kee-Line (DB). I think the big Lombard is an L90. I left the 2 Lombards on my farm in WV and I only have one pic. I forgot to check for tags and such. Was on the way to deer camp and the saws were on the side track. The Lombard is missing the recoil, but has every thing else. It does spin over.
