So i was bored...

You need a pointy bit on the end of that T bar - so it locates in to the end of the crankcase.

 

Nice job though:thumbup:

You mean crank

 

The points have a bad habit of breaking off on the husky tool. They are reknowned for it.

I could get one made up using a stainless bush/point,

However i normally just put the flywheel nut/clutch on the crank and an old socket in reverse over the end of the shaft and never had a problem Spud.

What happened to the V8 chainsaw project?

 

It'll never happen, that would be a modded saw!

It is probably a time issue, I get lots of great ideas but never have the time to do them or they take months/years.

 

The 066 project has been sitting there for 16 months and is now taking shape - another 6 months and I may be there:001_rolleyes:

I know that feeling to...

 

As for your 066 project sods law you will get it finished and someone will make an offer on it you cant refuse and you will be back to square one again

So started out with so me 6" square dural mild steel plate and some 1 x 1/2" box section...

 

 

Not lucky enough to own a plasma cutter but a grinder and 6 1mm cutting disc do the job...

 

 

So the hard bits now done...

Assemble bits togeteher (bloody typical left out the bush the camera shot)

 

 

Sods law the gas always goes on the last weld you need to do...

 

 

So just swung some smoothrite on it hence the wet look and reflection...

 

 

1 Husqvarna crankcase splitter which cost £100 over the counter and covers 346 upwards saws.

Granted they can normally be split without it but its so much easier with one and no swearing or burnt fingers from heating up bearings....

 

Excellent wise.didnt understand what grinder you used and how?

[wisecobandit]

Just used a 4 1/2" angle grinder with thin 1 mm cutting disc to cut the steel.

 

Thick steel plate cuts much easier using the thin 1mm disc over the standard 3mm cutting disc, you just have to be careful as they shatter easily tho.
