Well it's early for such things...but I'm gonna throw up a few pics of those spruce logs I hauled out for cutting cookies and saw tuning and a few of part of my shop reconstruction/organizing. Pretty happy with the overall layout...seems comfortable to do saw work at and I finally have a dedicated bench for doing sharpening of woodworking tools of all descriptions. Tooling from left to right is as follows.....chain grinder mounted on a box with a built in compartment behind/under for boxes of new chains, files, wheels etc....arbor buffer/wire wheel.....slow grinder/sharpener (1700 rpm).....planer/jointer knife grinder......12 spd 3/4hp drillpress......vise and lastly my powerhead holder.....48 saws put away neatly under the 16' bench.....and four saws in waiting under the bench with the powerhead holder and also my electric Jonsered kiln and bead blaster as well. Oh yeah......I see Canso and Luka had to get in the pic too!! LOL!!!

While I'm at it.......I picked up this little t... over the weekend....Free...thought I could use the 18" bar if nothing else.....was told it was dead...toast....all done....OK

Pulled the muffler expecting to see the usual thing you see in a 55.......BUT it was near mint!! Could probably benefit from a new ring, as most everything does. But it had compression so I put on a 16" 3/8" B&C I had hanging on the wall because the guy kept the chain but gave me the 18" bar......He said he always used that Trufuel or similar (very expensive premix stuff)....smelled good...but I fueled it up with my reg mix of Stihl Ultra.......fired it up...tweaked the carb a tad on the low side and used it all day yesterday!! Ran fine...idled good even after a number of hard cuts with the bar buried in maple.. I found no problems with this saw other than it was a little to rich on the low side....and I had to take another turn on the starter pulley so the cord retracted correctly.....Me thinks he just made a big deal about it so he could convince his OL that he NEEDED a NEW saw....LOL!!! Fine with me.....this one will not live here....I'll take some time an go through it then it will go on the market...or trading stock.... I have no need...


In my time doing shop work I put a new coat of paint my ol' 'Nadian stove too!!!! Raining like the devil here this morning......guess I'll have that rig fired up first thing this morning.....shop DAY!!!!

Whats with all the tubes on the stove ?? got a fan there someplace ?

WAY to neat ,,WAY to neat !!

LOL Thanks Ron........but you should see what's not in the pics!!!! EEEEEKKKKK!!!! Much more work to do!!! This bench will get a 3/32" steel top all the way down and around the corner as soon as I can afford to buy it and have the edge broke to create an inch and a half over hang on the front and a tiny backsplash against the wall......

No.....the entire stove is made of tubes (2 1/2" exhaust pipe)......just uses convection....draws the cool air in the bottom and it exits (hot)

at the top........no firebrick or liners...inside of the tubes are the firebox...puts out a lot of heat.....Free Flow...designed in Vermont and built in KeeBeck...

 

[Cantdog]

Yep....that's the one.....ol' hippy stove......my friend Dave bought this one new at the very first Common Ground Fair back like......1975..Stihl in use...daily....had it in my old shop for 6-7 yrs...been in the new shop 9 years.....

 

[Cantdog]

I think mine is the largest...takes a 30" stick by 16" dia....if you wanted to....but I usually cut 2' and split 2 or 4 times so you can pack it in tight....lasts all night....fill it like 6 in the evening when I leave the shop......rake the coals down at 7:30 the next morning and put the wood to her....good routine...keeps the shop about 65 all night...all winter....3500 sqft of floor space......posted 16' tall at the plates.....with a cathedral ceiling......'nuther 5' to the peak.......damn good stove....
