Can't remember the last time I started a thread in the saw forum

I've been too busy the last couple of years to work on saws much, the last saw I built is in NC with JimmyinNC, a Hooskie 268xp I did a couple of years ago. Well I've been making up for lost time going through projects I forgot I had.
Been having a blast doing it to. Here are some of the saws I've been molestering the last couple of weeks:

This one had a busted crank shaft

This one is a SD 117, New anti vibe mounts and a carb kit, going to hold onto this one. Ran two tanks through it today, runs very nicely.

I'll dig for the muffler this week.
You just need to order a cover.

Nice saws, but I kept looking at the lovely 6 point socket set over the saws. Sure would like to get a set like that.

Cheap HF deep we'll impact set about $25 when I bought them. They have lasted better than any set of impact sockets I've ever owned and they get used a lot from tractor work to saws.

Working on an 084 box of carcass now, cleaning parts and enjoying the shop wood boiler. Was able to fit a case halve in the ultrasonic without the basket.
One case is pretty we'll cleaned and ready to go, thinking about stripping it and p

ainting it with Ford grey. Case is in pretty good shape, just looks well used. Started on a second 084 carcass while the cleaner was running.
First case and cylinder:
