Hey all,
Just wanted to say hi! I'm Duncan... I'm just outside Halifax, NS and am starting to play around a bit with saws. Had a 42cc Poulan for general cleanup around the house... picked up a Granberg clone Alaskan mill at Princess Auto, and rapidly discovered the limits of discount saws and chisel chains.
A "wanted" post on Kijiji has yielded a real gem... an old Sachs Dolmar 133 (85cc!) which, once dusted off from 15 years under a workbench, fired right up and runs great!
General plan is to grab a milling chain and make this a permanent CSM. We're on a couple of acres and we've had a couple of ~22" black spruce come down recently, so I'll be learning on that and trying to mill all the materials for a chicken coop that's in the works... after which I'll have to see what I can source in the way of logs!!
Pics to be added shortly, since we all know this thread is useless without pictures!!
