well done Skwerl!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Tiny dawgs!

 

[SkwerI]

Tiny dawgs!

Big dawgs are only to compensate for thick, loose bark and/or dull chains. Not much of either around here.

Seriously, check out some of the saw racing videos. The fastest cutting saws don't have any dawgs at all.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Fug that.

I wants SPIKES.

Did Ed do her up for you Bri?

Nope, I had Big Dave build this one. I sorta owed him one since I promised to have him build a 372 for me but I ended up selling it instead. I have a 372 from Ed and will probably have him do my next one.

I hereby christen it-Tinkerputz. Hope it runs well. 346s are wondrous things- I need to order another one soon-gave mine to my Dad(Actually I swapped for his 371-I didn't need another 4 cube saw but he needed something lighter)

You got it! Thanks Justin.

I haven't gotten to post to this thread in too long...so here goes.

Last year we took a disaster relief team to Katrina for 2 weeks. In the process of getting ready to go I was contacted by Charlie, a climber from Louisiana, who was interested in linking up with us...that linkup didn't happen. He ended up doing his own thing...he bought a lot of very nice gear for climbing and rigging, used it and, for various reasons, had to get rid of some of it. He contacted me about two weeks ago to see if I was interested in his gear. Here is what I got today.

The saddle and saw will generate threads of their own.

Last two pictures..the saw is an MS 650.

Sugoi, Zubat, tenex spit tail, UltraTech split tail, cambium saver, 150 ft Poison Ivy rope with tight splice (hoorah!!) and rope bag.

My son has already offered to give the Sugoi a home since I already have one:roll:

 

[rumination]

Nice score, Gary!

 

[pantheraba]

Thankee, much...I am itchin' to play with some of it.

 

[SkwerI]

Big box-o-gear!!

Hoorah on the caddies...you oughta like them. My shins REALLY like them.

 

[Rborist1]

Caddies eh.............you don't say.

 

[Canuck]

Caddies eh.............you don't say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... Its all your fault too. I was perfectly happy with my shitty old leather t pads untill you came along and ruined it. After using yours for a week they where a living hell. Hey maybe I'll do more than one removal a week now

 

[JIML]

3 hours of welding in trade for this toy I picked up today

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's some right smart bartering!

 

[lumberjack]

Wow Jim, what kinda welding justified that?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Word! I wish I made $183 per hour!

 

[Old Monkey]

I got mine for seven hours of climbing.

 

[Stumper]

I finally got a pic. I bought this thing a month ago-wrecked. $300 salvage price. I hauled it to a customer-The Master Manipulator of Molten Metals-who heated,tweaked cut,welded and reshaped the frame back into a semblence of new condition.

 

[Paul B]

Stumper, COOL!
