lumberjackchef, carver extraordinaire.

Fixing the raffle saw.

Redlegs, eat your heart out.

The master at work.

Wkendlumberjack gives his seal of approval to the smoked lamb chops. Fresh from Natalya's farm.

Big likes it, too.

A better view.

Tim, a volunteer on the farm, gets his first taste of teacherman's 460.

He is now hooked on saws! Wonder what his AS username will be......he cut cookies for hours.

Road building. Natalya, our host(ess) and Wayne worked tirelessly, making use of our byproduct.

This sweet old girl in the foreground managed the sheep for over a decade. Used to be rather jumpy, but now the saws running ten feet away didn't bother her a bit. Her name is "Toss."

Thanks for posting the pictures! I'm eating my heart out as I check them out. Looks like an all-around good time. I'm sorry that I missed it.
Looks like a pretty awe-inspiring group of saws............AND food! Good to see that Bruce kept a Homelite presence at the GTG.

Hmmmmmmmm black dirt and no rocks.:jawdrop: Haven't seen much of that since I left North Missouri. People around here pay a lot of money to have that hauled in to cover their red dirt and limestone.

Oh yeah. Wayne, I've got about 3 cord of wood left to split and stack out back (hint,hint,hint). I wouldn't be surprised if I heard a knock on my door tomorrow.

Keep the pics coming!

Here is the sign.

Here is the link to all the pics at the bottom it goes back four pages to see them all.

Big and his little saw it looked like it was a blast to run.

MS460 and a sharp chain.

Teacherman was asking who was les's brother Stilveado so here is an old pic.

 

[teacherman]

OK. Here are some more pics.

A faithful friend, and retired sheepherder. It was cool to watch her in action ten years ago.

Tuning in the field.

Chad is pretty good with a chainsaw.

We now have a traveling welcome sign. I am going to oil and varnish it.

 

[teacherman]

He brought along a couple of samples.

The Door Prize!

Natalya draws the name......

And the winner is....

Congratulations! Stephen drove the furthest, so it was fitting that he would take home the prize.

 

[teacherman]

OK, back to "work," fellas.

Big's Dolmar gettin' with the program.

This is one hard working young man. I want Wayne to come to all the GTGs.

After using this great little file guide courtesy of wkendlumberjak, teacherman's DP 460 turned in some rather impressive times of between 8 and 13 seconds. A sharp chain makes a difference.
Supercabs demonstrates that impressive photojournalism can involve eating a sea of wood chips. Here he is obtaining the great pic he posted a bit earlier.

Natalya gets in on the fun with a nice little 009.

Hmmm. I can't seem to get the pictures to load on this one. The

 

[Work Saw Collector]

Nice bunch of pics teacherman thanks.

 

[teacherman]

Let's try this again.

She's already one-handing the little 009! She'll get the hang of it. This particular saw automatically adjusts the high side, as it only has the idle level and idle mixture screw. Sounds right, both in and out of the cut. I think it would be a good starter saw for her. She has a little electric Craftsman she uses for small stuff around the farm.

 

[teacherman]

On the road again........

Here is the fruit of our labors. In addition to some good fun and hanging out time, there was a purpose to this endeavor. Looks pretty cool. Be interesting to see how it does over time.

Using chips to fill in between the rounds.

One hardworking lady.
