Christmas Giving 2015

[abramj]

I was painting the laundry room, shopping, and now I'm heading to dinner and a show with two beautiful girls!

But to get it going again, I offer up one Stihl 291 top cover (at least I think that's what it is). First one gets it, but I will check numbers if you know them..

Is that the ball with the pointy ends??

As my dirt bike buddy says, give em each a ball if they want to fight over it that much.

I got a couple of things to throw out but I will wait a week or two. Not quite in the spirit yet. Some pretty cool stuff changed hands on this thread. Best of the season to all.

 

[LowVolt]

Still got these...

The husqvarna repair service tools are very tempting !

Wow that knife looks great! Please keep us posted as you continue with the knife project.

 

[mkinslow]

I will brother. Lol the hardest part is remembering to take the pictures. Next step is to figure out which handle material to use.

 

[skippysphins]

You are really going to town on that knife

Micarta is always a great option. For hunting gets nice and tacky when it's full of blood and easy to clean!

Yep it's great. Gonna have to see how much I have on hand. I do have some oak burl and some spalted maple also. Those look nice too.

This could be it's own thread. How do you cut the knife to shape out of the blank?

Make really nice guide bar groove cleaners out of the left over pieces?

Thanks

Philbert

While all this "stuff" has been going on, my team and I drove a pick up truck and trailer to west TX to disassemble and load up an airplane. Just got back with it and now I need to sleep a bit and then I'll scrounge around and see what I can offer up in this thread.

 

[mkinslow]

It could but figured it could but thought everyone may miss it somewhere else. I rough it in with an angle grinder. Then I use a 2x72 belt/knife grinder to remove material to the scribe lines. This is a pic of the grinder I built myself

 

[mkinslow]

Yea philbert your correct the leftovers would make good grove cleaning tools I haven't thought of that. Good idea Hmmmmmm.

Pretty sure I have a piece of Rainbow Eucalyptus and a section of paper bark Cherry. Both are still some what green, but id send ya a piece of you'd use it

 

[mkinslow]

Cool. I think I've read about guys using the eucalyptus but not sure about the cherry. I have a freind that has a very small kiln he made that I could use and have a couple times that would dry some out.

 

[mkinslow]

I never did get to dig around the shop and find anything else to put up for y'all today. May try to find some stuff tomorrow.

I got a few things here to offer up if someone can use them.
First is a new Stihl Picco .043 gauge 44dl chain.
Second is a new Echo piston which is for a 6000 blower
Third is a new piston for Weedeater trimmers. Cute little piston, I suppose you could make a ornament for the Christmas tree out of it.
