What has your chainsaw done for you lately?

[Arbonaut]

I always find myself relaxed after running my saws. I dont know any better stress reliever.

Easier to deep breathe runnin' that stuff in the grey bottle. (Ultra).

Ah yes, Cherry.

Yup just simmered 12 quart of salsa last night on the old wood burner out in the shed.

Used the Cherry wood that had sat all summer to simmer it down (the lil' Woman doesn't like my salsa stinking up her house)

So I guess you can say my saws helped out?

Won me money.

Well, my ms-361 leaked bar oil from the cap and the bottom of the saw... still working on that. My decent carhartt canvas pants got a nice couple of dripping runs of bar lube for some permanent stains! Then I yanked the snot out of it for 10 minutes like an idiot... Fuel line split too... I thought I left the fuel tank full when I put it away for July (too hot). Dumped fuel all over the cement so I spent a half hour cleaning that. Tore it down to find the split hose. What idiot put the narrow flex as the first bend point? Thanks for that 3 year old saw with light use up until this past fall.

Can't find an oem fuel hose anywhere locally. Everything online is not oem or on ebay (which I don't use- I hate paypal and ebay owns them so collateral damage.)

I don't know what happened with the bar lube other than it might be a clogged vent with a ball detent or something. I am still reading on it.

So yeah, that's what it did for me lately...

ETA: I know my 361 fires on the third pull full choke- no decomp, and runs after one pull on half choke... yet I kept pulling on that handle like I was gonna win a prize!

Give me a headache :msp_mad:

Are you sure it's the saw and not the Bud Lite? Just wait till the 075 gets here.

Gotten me firewood, enabled me to help others who needed wood to heat their homes, relieved some stress, got me outside exercising, killed some time, took up space in the shop, and connected me with new friends.

Couple pics taken two weeks ago during a day of cutting with a friend met here on AS.

It has not made me a beautiful workbench like yours, I think it is slacking.

What, that old thing?

here she is in the buff New Years day '11

 

[sachsmo]

New Years day '12

yes she is a work bench and is used often.

Well mostly, they all just pissed me off... Pretty much if something could fail it did on the fleet. I did get to take all that anger out on some big ash with a Husky 50 though... That made things somewhat better...

It is still is a thing of beauty to to me, any scratches and dents are just give it character. Every time I see a picture of your bench it gives me ideas.

 

[sachsmo]

got some ideas here too.

Since we went hog wild with Tomatoes this year (thanks to the saws cutting down a cottonwood and other trees shading the garden spot)

Going to take some twisted Sycamore and some Ash slabs and make some nice shelving for the booty.

Hot sauce and homegrown Tomatoes in the dark days of Winter always hits me like the Sun in me face.

Sounds like a good idea. The wife and I are busy freezing tomatoes and canning salsa and she was saying that we could use some more shelving. That could be another idea. Thanks Sach.
