It's strange how certain threads pop up around here. I've got another one of Scott's saws on the bench right now.
Watch for a thread on the Solo 681.

Randy, I've been lurking through some of your saw mod threads when I happened upon this thread with people commenting on your bird legs. I just wanted to add, don't feel alone as I've got a pair just like them.
Some years ago I was working in my back yard with of pair of cutoff blue jeans when my neighbor made the comment, "you've got the skinniest legs I ever saw on a white man."
I guess that was the reason I could run so fast as a youth, thin legs are more aerodynamic as they are lighter cut through the air more easily.

Once I was on a scaffolding installing siding when a guy comes around and says "damn man you sure are brave".
I tell him that's it not too high and is not a big deal.
He comes back with "yeah but you're up there on those stilts". :bang:

Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
It depends what you're cutting Brad. I run both .404" and 3/8" on my 3120 and the 3/8" stays in the shed if there is any hint of dirt. It's not much fun having to pull the bar out mid cut on a big dirty log for a resharpen which is why .404" is handy sometimes.
Just a chain tip Randy. If you grind all the cutters and depth guages off you'll pull 13,000rpm in the cut guaranteed. No need to thank me, that's just the kind of guy I am...

This saw is back.......Scott wants to get a little more out of it.
Finger ports and more compression is what I'm doing. :msp_wink:

I may be bringing it to the WKY GTG and giving it back to Scott there. I ain't too keen on dragging this big saw thru the woods to make a video. I'm scared of ticks.......Lymes about killed me once already ya know.

Will you be making the "bent thumb" carvings in this one? And how large will they need to be in a saw of this size??

Yes I've done them several times........not too many in work saws though.
I'm smelling my fingers now.......they smell like wasabi peas.

thats good just dont touch your eyes.
looking forward to seeing the end product.
Do you have time to do some r and d for us? Just put in fingers and see how much gain there is. or make all the other changes test it then. put the fingers in and test.
i know it would be a lot of work.
maybe you have already done this
