update: I've just resurrected an 08s from scrapyard. Before: After So now "Brothers in Arms" video clip: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HgX27RF1NyPZYMMt7 next project: Stihl 07 and Stihl S10 (rear handle version)

https://photos.app.goo.gl/wfQjtyCMTRRze9bQ8 I made a steel frame to protect the handle and prevent the axe head from coming off the handle all the time. The whole thing doesn't look nice but meet my need. As you can see I drilled a hole through the handle and put a bolt in it then welded everything together. Besides that I inserted some wedges at the head. Thanks, the cylinder and piston are still good, with right regular mainternance I think this 08s will serve me for a long time to come. My model was made in West Germany (no on-off-button/chain brake version) so I guess it is more than 50 years old now. You can't imagine how dirty it was when I bought it together with my 041 in the pic I took at the store. they hadn't been thoroughly cleaned for decades. Luckily the ignition, piston and cylinder are good, no air leak. I just needed to rebuild the carb, tightened all the screws. Though I may have to replace the sprocket, clutch+springs and bar someday. Intending to move from .404 to 3/8 chains.

Hello from Vietnam, I have a Stihl 08s. She is still in good condition. 9f7a5c097bacb20cf1f02a6ddc37f60e.mov
