    what kinds of firewood is good for pizza oven

    I don't know much about pizza ovens, but I would guess you would want steady temperature, so you might treat it like a charcoal grill: light it early, then put the food in when the coals are evenly warm. So, I'd choose a wood that makes good coals, denser is better, so white oak or hickory, and...

    Arborist Business Growth

    Around here, word of mouth is common. I'm a huge fan of meticulous work, excellent cleanup, making it look like you know what you are doing. But splitting and stacking for free... no way, that's a lot of work and time! Unless you need to make up for some problem. I just don't think it is worth...

    what kind of wood is this

    At first glance, I say maple, but after a minute it looks like oak, possibly a red oak. It has the radial lines that are mostly only found in oak.

    Husqvarna 61 isolated case rot

    I'm sure someone with excellent welding skills could weld that case back the way it should be.

    Not So Pro

    @Justsendit Do you do much saw building of your own, or what are you in to these days?

    Farmertec bars

    I disagree because they don't even meet the tolerance requirements for a useable bar: Out of square rails, and a gauge .015" larger than the chain. You might get a good one that will last a gallon of gas worth of cutting, but not much longer without struggling with crooked cuts and chipped...

    Echo CS-590 Timber Wolf vs Husqvarna 460 Rancher

    Not that I know of. The little 2511t seems to take a couple tanks of gas to smooth out and run stronger, but any other saw seems to run well from the start as long as it is tuned properly. As for cold weather, I've had a Stihl 291 not want to run in weather colder than 45-50 degrees. It really...

    Echo CS-590 Timber Wolf vs Husqvarna 460 Rancher

    It is winter, so they will run on the lean side in the cold, and may not 4 stroke any. The tricky part is finding a tune that works in all weather, which isn't really practical. It can get too cold to run a chainsaw without adjusting the carb. It can also get too hot to where it is blubbering...

    what kind of wood is this ?

    Wow, it is hard to tell those apart without a really good picture. I'm still leaning slightly toward Ash, but based on the bark, it is very hard to tell.

    Stihl 044 wanted

    BTW, what model years are your 044's? I was just now read by accident the 2000 and later models have the most powerful cylinders

    Ported Saws... Lets see your work fellas

    This is the first 352 I ported with a little extra compression. I never timed it, but I have a rough idea of what the numbers might be to base this second one off of. It felt like it had good torque, but I thought I could do better. In Ash, stock vs ported, about 31.5 seconds stock, about 21.5s...

    Stihl 044 wanted

    Yeah, I'm not out much in this relatively mild weather here, I hate cold. The date is a mild weathered May 21. In person GTG's are nice, you find most people come across as much better than they appear online, and it can help reputation of one's product. I think the winning saw may even get a...

    Stihl 044 wanted

    Just announced yesterday, someone in Michigan is having a 044 buildoff, and race chain buildoff to be run on a stock 044. Cash prize too. You should attend and show them what you got having 2 saws to get a good build figured out. Woods port only, Farmertec builds allowed, but stock intake with...

    Ported Saws... Lets see your work fellas

    It does well enough. I had used it for some hardwood the day before that video, and it did well, but it's only 34cc, so it's no match for the ms250 or 260. Pine is all I had available for the video at the time, it's a year old, but not punky yet. Keep in mind most saws make peak power around...

    Custom exhaust tinkering

    Yes, ironhorse came out with that like a year ago, but I'm not sure if he came up with it. Someone may have showed it too him, which was then probably made popular from use on his channel. Dyno testing would be interesting.
