This is a good summary of Bill. His trucks were always clean and bright red w/gold lettering. His work vehicles included a HD Ford PU, a couple of Kenworths and a Peterbuilt (there may have been more). He always waived to both me and my wife when he passed in the opposite direction, and he worked 7 days a week, long hours every day, so you saw him a lot. Everyone who lived here for any period of time knew him, and he did favors for lots of people.

He was always friendly and polite and had a great reputation for hard work and honesty. I will miss our talks which often included saws, work, family/kids, and fishing.

How do you like that Tsumura bar on your Stihl?

 

[Kodiak Kid]

My latest equipment score. Picked up this aluminum wire feed off a good friend! With leads, spool gun, and bottle for only $2500!! I think it dose stick too, but it requires different leads.

Ive never run a Tsumura bar. Are they good? I see a lot of you guys on here have them on your saws, so the must not be bad I thinking. I'm just wondering about quality, construction, and type of steel. Vs say a Cannon vs Stihl vs Oregon, so on and so on?

I really like them. Light and last longer than any other bars I’ve tried and less expensive than other lightweight bars. Have heard that tips are a weak spot but I haven’t had trouble with them, I don’t do much bore cutting either though.

Nice! Where can a guy order one to try out?

I have 3 of them. 18, 20 and 24. They are lighter. I'm not able to speak to longevity yet as I have only been using them for a year. I doubt you can find any at any price right now. The U.S. distributor has been waiting over a year for a shipment. I had to buy my 3rd one used a couple months ago. It was all I could find.

Saw Again and EBay, sometimes Amazon is where I get them. Can be hard to find at times.

Yeah, I've had a Sugihara on order with Bailey's for a bit. Supposedly I am number 2 on the waiting list and Sugihara keeps pushing back the delivery date.

So I have been looking at the Tsumura bars on Ebay and thinking about just picking one up to tide me over.

Wasn't planning on cutting today. It's just been a busy week with having the parents here from Sunday through Wednesday, then on Wednesday morning, the power went out here from a storm. It was out for about 48 hours. Got it restored last night, and then was out messing around today, and saw this small maple across the road that borders my property. Decided to go ahead and cut it up enough to get it off of the road. Then, since I already had all of the gear out, I decided to buck up a birch that I had dropped at least a week ago or so. It's been laying across my UTV trail, and I really needed to get it out of the way. I'll do some splitting sometime mid-week as it's supposed to be hot as hades here tomorrow, and for a few days afterwards.

Low of 44 this morning and it’s going to be 90 tomorrow. Big breakfast tomorrow then I’m going to focus on “fun” projects with my kids such as working on our boat and repairing a 25 horse outboard that I have. The lake that I live abuts a lake within the boundary waters and that lake has a 25 horse limit. My 16’ Lund has a 30 HP currently So I’m going to be set up so we can swap motors quickly and then run in there when we feel like it.

Today the girls and I worked at the brat sale fundraiser for our Lions club then I went to a grad party for my sons friend before returning home for a well needed nap. Had thoughts of firing up the Sauna tonight but I don’t think I can stay up that late lol
