Quote HistoryQuoted: "Listen, friend..." Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Buckin knows his shit. His saw collection is impressive to say the least. An amateur can pick up a lot of tips and tricks from him. Can also pick up some overconfidence. He's one of the few youtube channels I subscribe to. Like a polite version of Mr Rogers, but with chainsaws. "Listen, friend..."  Yup. Great delivery. |

500i and 362 will get some work today. I’ll be starting out in 16 degree temps…grandpa always said your heats in the tools, you just have to work hard enough to get it out.

It’s going to get into the low 30’s today….I prefer to cut in these temps. You’re cold for about 15 minutes until you start working…after that you start stripping off layers because it’s too hot.

Wife is using the 545. The 562xp also sips the gas. Both are pretty zippy. Quite a bit of a tone difference between 50cc and 60cc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I use bone stock Echo CS-490 and Echo CS-590 Timberwolf. I buy cheap Australian blades from Amazon on days where I'm doing cuts involving a lot ground work and Echo chains on days I'm cutting trees down. I leave them none stock because they're reliable as hell, choke, pull 3 times hard, turn choke off, start, EVERY TIME and I hate dealing with carbs any more. The 590 is not light, but I use it 90% of the time because it's weight helps a lot of the time when cutting up firewood size pieces. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/133760/Screenshot_20220829-205609_Gallery_jpg-2507971.JPG I have the same setup for the same reasons. I'll have to get some of those Amazon blades, thanks for the tip. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great pics, thanks for those. Your opinion on OEM vs China made ? EDIT: Would you recommend any oem parts to use in a China build ? Carb, aftermarket piston, etc.. @Rock_Ranger @rtlm I've built a few of the Chinese saws (ms360 and ms660) and the parts that I had to replace are the oiler, and a few of the springs for the chain brake. The bar studs were replaced as well because the Chico ones were soft and stripped. They were bad. The piston, rings, crank, crankcase were pretty good as was the carb and most of the hard parts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I feel like an ass. Had 2 people ask me to borrow my saw this morning and turned them down. I have never had good luck lending out tools of any sort and not about to test that luck today. Smart move. I never ever ever lend out my good saws. I built my farm tech saws to lend out.  But I don't lend tools in general either anymore. I got tired of asking for them back and getting them back in dirty condition. |

Quote HistoryHusky did really good with those boxes. Can stack them, can store extra stuff in them, can remove the original scabbard and slide a longer scabbard on for the long bars, and if you happen to put longer dogs on a large saw you can dremel the box to work. About the only thing I would have liked to see is slots for files-they have everything except for that. |
