Old saw demonstration/GTG Baraboo WI

Marty with his Farm Boss

Bruce and his 450? Bruce and Roger tied in the first go 'round and forced a final heat where Roger was the winner

Steve and his mighty blue Homelite

I ran my D-44 as well, not fast but a good runner anyway

Scott and his 1-51

Not quite finished with under 5 In³ yet...

Thanks Mark!!!

You are the official In-bedded World wide AS reporter!

Thanks for the pics!!!!

Bruce brought several saws, all great runners. Here he gives his Stihl a run

And another Homelite, is this a 360?

And Bill G finally got that PM800 started

That's all for the 5 & under, next up over 5 In³. Again I got to start off (I was there earliest in the day I guess) and again a third place for my SP125

Scott and a nice Partner? Pioneer?, well it's a "P" in any case

I picked up this Super 797 this week, not a very good bar and chain but since it was running I let Marty put it in the wood

Roger smokin' it with a Homelite

And your winner in the 5 In³ and over, Steve Melzer and a sweet 090. Not only does his equipment come in first rate condition, Steve knows how to operate them as well.

Hot saws, Scott and his McCulloch, cross between and 250 and a 92 if I recall

Steve's Montgomery Wards West Bend 820, really fast and really make the chips fly

Mark

 

[heimannm]

Did I mention that Steve's WB820 makes chips fly? He's done cuttng and the cloud is still in the air...

The hot saws

Two man saws, first up, Roger and Kevin on a McCulloch 940

Kevin and Roger with one of Kevin's saws, gues that's why there are fewer mosquitos around Pelly, SK

James and his buddy put the Disston into it. Sure am glad we got better than scratcher chain today...

Mark

 

[heimannm]

Last set of two man photo's. Father and son, can anyone think of a better way to spend time with your children?

Wow...that's all I can say...

Another sweet running Disston twin

For the sake of comparison, they let me run my 840 through the big log when they were done. I don't know if they kept times but I would not have one the contest, that's for sure.

Great pictures Mark! Now I really wish I had that 7-21 running.

 

[grandpatractor]

Cool pics Mark. I wish I could have made it. Maybe next year.

Jon and I acquired a 36 inch oak log for next springs GTG.
That should give the old iron a work out.

 

[WetGunPowder]

Great pics Mark! Did you go all-out for the demonstrations and spring for some :newbie: chaps???

 

[Andyshine77]

Great pics Mark.

 

[heimannm]

Credit where credit is due, all of the action shots were taken my AS Senior Member nogoingback (Chris). He stopped to visit just before the "races" started and I simply handed him my camera and asked him to take some photo's.

I did buy new chaps earlier this year as the old ones had several Mac scars, more from muffler/exhaust burns and the spinning flywheel cover from a 73. Oh yeah, there was one incidental contact with a moving chain.

The new ones are already sporting a bite from the old failing muffler on my 7-10. I think the next set may be something other than the Husky cheapo brand.

Wished I could have been there. I'm leaving tonight to spend a few weeks there on vacation. Looks like looks of fun to be had by all.

Thanks Mark for showing all of these photos.

Barraboo..

Gene here Mark..Guy from Madison. Wow- that really looks like a great show to be at! I'm only 40 minutes or so from there. I might catch it next year. As others said: thanks on the pic's. Hope the old Mac's are of some use to you. Thanks on the dawgs for my 700. Gene

 

[heimannm]

Thanks for the saws Gene, they were part of my display though I forgot to get any pictures of my set up.

I put the bar and chain off the 1-70 on the Super 797 you see Marty running in the thread above.

I saw someone walking through taking some pictures that looked a lot like you, in fact I thought it was you, but he disappeared without stopping by.

If your grandson likes to see tractors, engines, and machines bring him along as well, there are lots of things to see and do.

Mark

 

[mowisme]

thanks Mark..

That wasn't me. But I was thinking the same thing..I bet Grandson he'd really enjoy it- as well as myself. We'll catch it next year. I seem to come across Mac's quite often here..so might have more next year. Be interesting what that little saw was?..Glad you had a great time- take care. Gene

Kingsley found 3 misery whips in the swap meet. Here is Kevin helping him with the bucking 2 man crosscut saw.

Here is the BIG Case 110hp steamer.

 

[omegajim]

was there today too. Need to dump some pictures here - saw an awful lot of IH propane tractors.
