C'mon guys, that's a steak beater for back in the day when they didn't do it for you. It's missing the handle..
So what did you do today?

^What he said.^ Looks like a meat tenderizing hammer but the few of those I have seen are more pointed.
It depends on how much he wants me to fix. I stole a carb needle from another carb, had a sparkplug and decomp valve in the used parts bin. I spliced in a new piece of ignition wire and customized the carb linkage so I'm into it for an hour and a half. If any of that actually gets it working he probably has a $60 bill. It still leaves the tank vent, replacing the clutch spur drum (worn), and what to do with the broken chain brake knuckle - his call.
Most of the ones I've worked for want them fixed as cheaply as possible, just as long as they run and cut wood. I try to oblige them..

Now that I see that hammer head better, I think it may be a meat tenderizer. Looks old.
Just sold a chainsaw a few minutes ago..maybe they still will sell. The secret is to not ask too much for them.

I think you guys may be looking at this backwards. I believe that to be a "chinking hammer". The square surface is struck with the hammer and the narrow end is use to push the "chinking" in between the logs of a log house construction. At least I believe "chinking" is the correct term. I think it would also be used my a mason to remove mortar between bricks.
Well I think I have found the first air leak on the guys Husky 350 I am working on - two of the four crankcase bolts had fallen out! I wondered why I was seeing fine debris in the crankcase when I removed the cylinder to get the carb boot off. The carb boot was the original suspicion but until I fix this, I won't be able to test the boot.
You might be right. After looking again it appears to be a bit smaller than a steak tenderizer but the same general shape.
I took a nice drive today on an icy road to get to the Post Office to mail a saw. I think I'll wait till the weather gets better before I try to sell any more.

Today, the Evil One and I took a road trip to look at another pickup truck. Decided we really need another one, so we wouldn't have to use her daily driver SUV to pull a trailer when we need two of them on site.
I have a 2003 Silverado half-ton, and this one is a 2002... new alternator, water pump, battery and brake job 500 miles back. Good rubber. Two new spare wheels/tires. Cat and Y pipe replaced on the V6 40K miles back. Crack in windshield, but I can replace that cheap enough. AC, heater, all lights, etc. all work. Doesn't leak or burn oil, in spite of having 205K miles on her. Got the (good) CarFax on it. Talked him down to $1400 cash.
More wood hauling/towing capacity than the wife's car, so a big win for me... for that kind of money, you're lucky to find a pickup truck that will start and go five miles in one piece in this neck of the woods!
Little rusty there on both back fenders. Don't care. It's a work truck, not a chick magnet.

Ran a few saws cutting some cookies with a couple guys looking at some of my saws. We ran an MS310, 390, 039 and an 028 Super. The MS390 ran like crap (embarrassed) but I fixed it after they left by cleaning the carb. I also finished some annual reports and shipped a few chains I sold and then boxed up a modded muffler I sold on eBay. Oh, stacked some firewood too. Got cold here, had to wear a sweatshirt today...
We here in the frozen tundra feel for you...I had a sweatshirt on also, under a couple of other ones.

Thanks, guys... it's what we wanted at a better price than I thought we'd find.
Got my clutch today for my 039 saw, waiting for a slightly warmer day to go out and complete the build..

Went to the doc this morning for a yearly physical. Visited my grandparents for a couple of hours. Had to return his old Stevens 311 shotgun I fixed for him. Picked up a generator and push mower from them that probably need their carbs cleaned. Got 3 posts set in the ground today for a lean to on my shop. Hoping to finish it up this coming weekend. Also delivered a generator and a load of firewood to a local. I dropped by last week to see if he wanted some excess wood I had and picked up a job cleaning the carb on his generator. Took my lil girl to her first piano lesson tonite.
Started putting a 262 back together.
Split the case on the 272 waiting on gaskets, seals, bearings and a ring now!
Putting a kit in an HD87 carb!
