You guys should see my new saw: a 7 1/4in magnesium Skil saw. Monday morning I will be putting on the leather Occidental nail bags.

I might as well Hi-jack my own thread.

What....No timed vids???

OH!!!! It's on now...... I'll run my 15 year old Bosh against that thing anyday. :bringit:


:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
:cheers:
 
I worked in a shop once that had a worm gear drive big circ saw. We used it for cutting the cast aluminum tanks off of charge air coolers. That mother worked like a charm. It cut aluminum like its was pine. Needed lotsa wax though....
 
I just got back from Williams Creek fire as a type 1 HELO manager. I'm surprised you're not out on a fire, there's a couple of good ones in your area plus central Cali is going up now.

Have not been out since de-mob on July 21, typical political BS. I am not waiting around and turning down work anymore.

I'm with you there. I never did sign up for one of those associations, it always seemed like there was a core group of good old boys who got all the work. Oh well, screw it. There's other things to do. Between saws and contracting, I thinking you'll be pretty busy.

Yeah, ready to be home at night - I am into my fitness big time, been doing it at home daily, and my son is busy with football - nice to be in a routine.
 
Fire season has started early here this year, up the coast where the SIL is they hit 100*F last week and it's still winter :jawdrop:

There's been fires starting all over the state, with the local bushfire crew out to two fires at the end of last week (both started by cockies (graziers) burning stumps and crap.....one of them was the brigade deputy captain....)

Woke up to -2 C this morning. You'd think it would kill the black flies, but it brings them out in hoards as the day warms up.

Not sure where Ed is these days, but I've been using a 359 he built for me and have sliced and diced at least 60 cords and I swear it's getting stronger.
Gypo

I suspect he isn't doing well these days, his website has been down for about a year, and he had health issues even before that.......:censored:

Jokers also left the sites he was on (as far as I know) at about the same time.
