Its a collaboration really, the blade was made by a knife making mate Bernie Garland and the handle mossiac pins and sheath was made by another very skilled knife maker and friend, John Millington. I'll have to get some pics of the sheath.

Kind of whats put me of really lol, simple bows are relatively easy to make so I have been told though from most woods. If you check out the guys name on BCUK he has quite a few posts on bow making and he is getting really good at it too.

Not yet, I keep meaning to one day, I have a couple of long bows made from Hickory though and they are fantastic, there is a guy on BCUK who is very good at making them though lots of pics and info on there. Cherry bow finished

Have you tried the text under the tree pic? like your old one ?It might be because the text is arround the image but not in a complete circle? it might look different with a line circling the text? if that makes sense. I like the image by the way, always fancied a tatoo with my little girls name in the branches of a tree

Cheers for the advice everyone. Well it works! I ported the exhaust and took out the spark arrester. The piston was a bit of a faff getting the piston in the pot but all up and working sort of, I think I need to fiddle with the carb though, it sounds like its ticking over a bit high and can build up rev and the drop back down, so it might need a carb kit. Again all new to me so I like to learn more. This is what I have done so far I have set the H L screws to factory settings but the saw wont start, I then adjusted the L screw till it starts, Then back off the chain with the iddle screw. I then ran the saw at full throttle and adjusted the H screw till it sounded right. Again I know I might be doing this wrong and I have been reading the other treads about tiny tachs, but I am trying to learn more about saws and tbh the 021 is old and guttless so its a practice saw for me.

Thanks for the responses. I have cleaned out the exhaust and cleaned up the pot a bit with some very fine wire wool, heres a pic of whats left, its very tricky to remove, so I am tempted to get a new pot piston kit tbh. I think I will leave the porting of the pot as I am not experienced at all in this area.

Hi I'm after a bit of advice, My old 021 has been struggling for a while now and it hardly gets used but I fancy a project so...... I have taken it appart. It was struggling through anything thicker than wrist thick, it just looses all power, so I thought that it might have been the pot piston. The pot looks ok appart from a large build up of carbon at the exhaust outlet and top, the top of the piston was black too, I have cleaned the piston top with wire wool and tomorrow I plan on getting the dremel to polish the pot and piston. The questions that I have are. Is the carbon build up the cause of it struggling? If I polish up the pot and piston will this help it run better? Whats the best way to port the inlet and how do I port the muffler? I have to get a couple of new rings as I broke one and also a new seal. I have never attempted anything like this before so this is all new to me. Thanks. Simon.
