The we need to help Stump rebuild a shop, replace tools, replace saws thread.

Good for you Stump!, looking forward to the pics, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I'm moving slowly with the 250, gathering stuff from the deepest, darkest corners. I got it mostly cleaned up, found shiny full wraps, nice round muffler, roller tip bar.... This one has the auto and manual oiler, both seem to work, the manual shot oil all over.
I wish the weather would change, it is playing hell with the old battle damage, feel like I'm 90.

I know how you feel Randy! Sounds like your getting that saw fixed up nice!

gotta say i was never fond of chihuahuas. but we came upon a mexican chihuahua like yours who had been living on the highway eating nuts, berries, and stuff. someone prolly dumped her. took her home and she is the type that you can't not like. she's extremely grateful for what she's got now and shows it.

I got me a special 36" bar from stump the other day. It's heat treated... Unfortunately his kiln was only good for one treatment... :hmm3grin2orange:

Just lettin everybody know I'm still alive. Been real busy gittin the shack ready. It's all wired, paneled, Workbench moved in, tool box set up, and a lil heater. Nice & cozy.

I'll try to git some pics up tomorrow. :msp_thumbup:

Thanks guys. It has been tough thats for sure. Very frustrating at times not being able to go to the shop to git the tools I need to git the Shack up & runnin. I have about any tool imaginable available to me, but I hate to borrow tools.

I'm looking forward to the first saw build in the Shack.

Stumpy, that's great news :msp_thumbup:!

When you're ready, I've got some saws & ideas that'll benefit both of us.

Randy, you only feel as old as you look :msp_razz:. I've got a few Mac 250 (standard, not Super) parts that you're welcome to if you need them.

Matt,
I had no idea it was in that good of shape. I almost traded it away a while back, but I got this feeling that I should hang onto it............I've learned albeit slowly throughout my life to follow these promptings, because it is someone greater than myself that knows all. I am glad I listened to the "still small voice", and I am saddened by what Stumpy has gone through, but I can't think of a better example of the Christmas Spirit than what has been displayed within the "gift" of this thread, and experience.
Thanks for everyone's efforts,
Jonathan

It always throws me off when you are nice. :msp_ohmy:

I'm on the hunt for a decent tig welder. The one I had was a Miller syncrowave 180sd.

I need one that can do aluminum.

Always wondered how them hard tips were made.
Thanks for that insight, Hedgerow.

I've got one of these:

Products4

the Precise Weld 200 acdc and an argon tank

You're welcome to borrow it for up to a year if you can get it from me to you. I got it in a cobo deal w/a plasma cutter a couple years back and I've used the heck out of the plasma and not even messed with the tig yet.

Holler at me and we can work it out

I must admit I know NOTHING about welders even though I use one a bit, but I bet it'll do the trick.

Wow, what a great offer. I can't rep ya till I spread it, but some kind soul will hit ya for me. More than one I'd bet. JR
