No, no chaps yet but he's got until February until I start getting him running a saw at all. His berfday and he'll be 12. Figure that's a good age. Way he's growing he'll fit into a mans set of chaps by then. He's 11 and he's like 5' 6" now, he'll be 6'4" to - 6'6" when he's done I think.

I got a new set of Stihl chaps....

I think I was about 8-9 when my dad started me. That was with a husky 136, chaps, and hardhat. Only bucking small stuff in the saw buck. When I was 12 (I think) he started letting me run the 039 for cutting up pallets and bucking small logs. He would never let me run a saw alone until I was 14. Now he has no issue letting me fell beetle kill pine myself. I think I am about as good at running saws as him now. I am a better mechanic than a faller, I end up fixing saws for everyone in the family....

He got me a set of echo chaps when I started out, they end half way up my shins now. I normally borrow his husky chaps, But I would like a good pare for myself sometime. I think you have the right idea waiting until he fits normal chaps before you start him. If you were closer, I would give you my old pair for starting him. Although it sounds like they will be too small by that point. I might put them on craigslist for $20 just to clear off a shelf...
 
I have an update on the 020 av project. It had a almost totally dissolved case gasket, and I need to seal it up. I understand it's some kind of anerobic sealant I need, but that's about it. Can anyone tell me what to ask for at the auto supply store? If it was my saw I would just use permatex, but seeing as it isn't mine, I really want it to last.
