Hi guys,
1st time visit to this side of AS.
I've thought about this many times before. I love the idea of chainsaw carving.
I fix plenty saws, but I've never tried to carve.
What saw, bar chain setup should I look to start with? I'm not looking for the ultimate carving saw/setup, hell I'd be happy if I could make a reasonable garden mushroom for the wife at this point.
I buy and sell saws on ebay as a leisure time hobby, so what I have and what I might have is pretty flexible.
I tend to stick with Stihl, cause I'm getting used to working on them and I have a reliable parts supplier for them.
At the moment the smallest I have is an 026. I also have an 028, an 041 and a Contra. I have other bits and pieces knocking about like a little Jonsered 2036 in need of work. The most obvious candidate is the 026 for me. Can I set this saw up and get cracking on some basic stuff/shapes?
All advice is welcome at this point.
