Wes, are you no longer hoping to cut wood?

Wes, are you no longer hoping to cut wood?

I'm getting a bit old and rickety. But we got plenty of other saws on the estate.

My addled brain at first was thinking "that's not a Silvey or a Simington, wtf is it" and then

That is a very expensive mitre saw. And it gets a LOT of use fitting wood(mostly oak) to all manner of places in this house. Also did the flooring, shelving, etc.

We'll see how these do:

Beirut yesterday... Geez.

Could be worse. I was looking at my struggling ms241 and was wondering if I should buy a control module/ignition coil or get the upgraded white fuel solenoid. Read a few threads, and then decided on the solenoid.
Got the solenoid after some searching, and the bastard took 3 weeks to send it to me.
Still doesn't work quite right. So now I am in for it for €50, so may as well get the freakin control module and be balls deep in it and pray it may actually work... I really hate MTronic. Just hate it.

More on beruit:



That's what a 1.2 Kiloton equivalent 'conventional' weapon looks like.

Wes, I'm glad your not here for the fires, man is it bad. I would imagine Nate is busier than a one legged cat in a sandbox right about now. I hope all is well with you and yours, so far so good here as long as you don't need to breath clean air.

 

[wyk]

Yeah, I saw that. My bro is up in the SF bay area, and he had some amazing photos. Sorry to hear it.
We've had a fairly easy summer here, and the tail end of it is rather hot, actually. But we'll pull through.
I'll have some more photos to share soon here as I have to go back to the estate and make a bench.
WIsh me luck. Havent made one in a while.

 

[sawfun]

Luck, hell, you'll do just fine Wes. Stuff like that comes back to a person as a reminder of what they have done and what they have in them.

Better yet - it's for a local school. So it's gonna be reminding everyone how much my bench skillz are lacking.

So this happened

Everthang!

Nice to see yer still on here and posting. Probably been at least a year or more since i checked in!

 

[wyk]

Still chugging long. Good to hear from ya! What's news?

So, this is as far as I got with the chainsaw. That's like 2 days of work there I will never get back since it's a donation. At one point I was cutting the bench seat flush with a 30 inch bar when the owner of the estate's sister snuck up and stood right next to me before i saw her out of the corner of my eye. Just a few minutes before this, the saw caught up on a piece of ash and flung back nearly behind me. I had to ask her to stop beign stupid.
It's up to the new owner to finish it, but I think I made their job fairly easy:

jis gonna leave dis here
