How do we not have a chainsaw photo thread?

No it doesn't ha ha but I think I might need a truss to fit the bar and chain

Lately, I've been turning a lot of big dirty chunks of oak in to smaller dustier versions.

Lovely piece of timber, and looks like a nice clean cut too.

Thanks. Aye it's a lovely bit of wood. It was 6 inches too big for the mill. The picture flatters the cut though! It's got a couple of 3-4mm ridges but nothing that a thrash with the plane wont fix.

 

The slice is currently being prepped as the single leg for a pedestal type dining table.

 

I wasn't too sure that the MS661 would pull the 50 inch chain but as long as it's kept very sharp it goes through timber no bother. I've run it through dry oak, burry oak and that bit of long dead elm without any grief.

Hey Bish Bash!

 

Can you please post a close up shot of the fuel caps on that handsome chainsaw?

 

One of my pet peeves is the stupidity of modern chainsaw manufacturers that can't design fuel caps sleek enough to be wiped perfectly clean in the field with a rag. No, they must have lots of little nooks n crevices for sclurge to hide in, until refueled and it dives into your tank!

 

Such a simple easy thing, but noooooo....

A couple of cropped photos to show the filler.

The cap is slightly oversize compared to the aperture. Where the opening rises up from the main body of the tank there's no extra mouldings/joins/corners etc to hold onto crud.

 

It should be pretty easy to wipe debris off before opening. I keep a cutdown paint brush "tethered" to my fuel can for getting crud out of places I don't want it.

 

The starter handle fits between the two spigots on both fillers to help unscrew them if needed.
