I like the old Stihls but never see any local around here--David-good scores--look well made.I looked at my saws from yesterday again and I did not get two 08s'. Instead I got an 08s and a S10 top handle.

It will be. I wonder what is the difference between a s10 top handle and an 08s is. I have an early 08s with the red cover and I don't see anything different from the s10.

I think the 08s was actually produced before the s10. They are pretty similar. I think it's funny that the s10 is a 50cc saw but max bar length is about 18"

Bent out of some stainless scrap. Took a long time and was pretty touchy because of it's size. Quite happy with how it turned out. Now it's not blowing in my face or my hands lol.
Though about it, but I built it out of stainless so I wouldn't have to mess with painting it. Will find some matching stainless screws and round the corners better and call it good.

Hey, well about everything would beat an axe or a misery-whip even if it was super heavy and couldn't handle much of a bar.

Raise your hand if you've ever cut with a misery-whip! *hand raised* raise your other hand if you did and thank the good lord above every day for the invention of the chain saw! *hand raised*

I was gifted a Disston one-man from a relative last fall. Pretty good condition, albeit quite rusty and dull. Haven't touched it much because I don't want to screw it up restoring it. Looks pretty nice where it hangs on the wall lol. It's quite hard to find around in my area as I don't go to many auctions or flea markets, and antique stores are out of their mines with asking prices $100+ for some rusty, handle-less piece of junk.Actually looked at buying one.

Two man hanging in the barn on a 24" main beam my dad said they use to use.

Along with some mule plows they had, he kept the old handles but a man made him some out of oak to replace with.

I don't believe you have a S10,just the oil tank/oiler.They will fit other saws like the 08S
