Sounds dangerous. What's that supposed to do? Also, think I'm just gonna watch some videos and tune up the carburetor, didn't really get properly done, we just got it running the best we could and started rolling. The weird thing is it'll get like this, and then the next day start right the...

Goddamned saw runs great. When it does. Thing is finicky as fuck. Ran it all day like a champ, then halfway thru the first cut on the second log, it crapped out and refuses to start. Got spark, plenty of gas, got compression. Must just flood and that's the end of it, come back tomorrow.

One log done Also, my garage is gonna need to be completely emptied and cleaned when I'm done.

Drilling the log down in several spots has helped significantly.

Think I found the problem. The saw is so powerful it's rocking that fucking log. I had it chocked because it's massive, but the saw is literally picking it up and throwing it around mid cut.

You motherfuckers.

Ripping chain, almost brand new. So, probably not uneven sharpening. Takes about 5 minutes to go thru 5 feet, so I don't think feed rate is the issue. Just weird. I mean, it's nothing I can't plane out eventually, but goddamn, almost outta fucking ideas here.

Stack so far, and the final rig. I gotta admit though, I am kinda at my wits end. We leveled the bar. We leveled the rig. The top of the log is level. It's level in literally every plane across the entire rig. We secured the mount from moving in any direction. 1-1/2 on one side, 2" on the...

No, it's a great thought...I just didn't think of it first. Now I've got all the iron, so nbd. Slabbed that other log, leveled the mill in every direction. Sharpened both saw blades, rain just stopped, might be able to roll the other one over here shortly and get going. Pics and videos to come...

Me too. It's incredibly satisfying.

This should work. Got all the nuts and bolts for the threaded rod, forgot to get the hardware to deal with the angle iron. I've turned into the man I laughed at when I worked at Ace when I was a kid!

Aight, I think I've got bar flex figured out. Piece of angle iron going up from the saw mount about a foot. Piece of angle iron running over the saw parallel to it. Drill a hole in the bar near the tip, run threaded rod thru the hole, attach to angle iron, pull to level.

This may well turn into the small engine repair thread. Thing died 3/4 thru a cut. I figured it was out of gas...still plenty in there, but it's got a fuel filter on an end of a hose, so that could have came out of the fuel, so I filled it up. Unfortunately, nothing. Won't start. New spark...

Ex. And great idea!

Hot knife thru butter. However, modifications must be made. Do gotta figure out support for the far end of the bar.

I'll fire it up tonight. All I need to do is drill in the chocks to support the log and we're good to go.

There's that too. You don't actually need the saw level - you just need every cut to be coplanar.

So, I thought that too, but it turns out that it's not actually that springy. Once I level out the 21lb powerhead, all that's left is the natural spring in the bar, which isn't that much. I have this log leftover to run some tests on before I get to the bigger stuff. We'll see how it goes. I...

Yeah, but that's not unusual for me. I had chronic peptic ulcers for a long time, leading to inflammation in my small intestine which literally ends up blocking my stomach from working. It's probably from a combination of excessive ibuprofen use and excessive caffeine intake. Had to quit...

Saw mounted, leveled, ready to rock. Felt like shit today, so took it easy and only worked 10 hours. I'll fire it up when I get home from work tomorrow and see what we get.

Decided to check my home's value on Zillow since I got some bullshit on my discover account about "unlocking 440k of value outta my home" or some nonsense. Turns out, Zillow has me sitting at 471k for value. Which is hilarious, because I had trouble getting a fucking appraisal over 300k a year...

I saw a lot of this on Reddit, but sure seems like fucking hopium for me. Label created for Crimson scales 7 days ago, zero movement. Now the UPS site is just straight up shitting the bed whenever I try to do anything with it. Dice Throne still sitting at "address is locked" and nothing...

Norseman drill bits will drill thru 3.5 chainsaw bars. Just FYI. So, one hole is 25/64" instead of 3/8". Don't forsee that being an issue. Got the mount reinforced for the new saw, glue setting up now. Should be able to put it together and see if it will run up and down the saw mount...

Yeah....2-6's! Not 2-6.

Nah, I have the rerolled version too. Shadow Theif rolls 2-6's on their defense roll and goes Into The Shadows, which means you take no damage. Goes away at the end of YOUR next roll phase. So, if the guy right after you hits you, possible you're immune until it comes back around to you.

King of the hill mechanics make it pretty interesting at any player count, honestly. Although, Shadow Theif being OP in 1v1 is even more ridiculous in FFA. Can't hit me...and neither can anyone else this round!

Motherfucker, mine still hasn't shipped. My Crimson Scales has a label created, but hasn't been scanned yet.

Nah, it ain't about that at all. That would obviously be the easy way. This is for my kids. As I get older, I'm spending more time thinking about what I leave behind. No one's gonna remember what I did at work, but my kids are always gonna remember the nightstands and tables that used to be...

So, it took me the better part of 2 hours to A) get that saw started, and B) tune it up so it purrs like a kitten. It is still C) putting out an absolutely nonsensically excessive amount of bar oil even on the lowest output setting, but I can't see that being too terrible of a problem ripping...

Is this Vanessa's plan for bottom surgery?

36". Don't cheap out!

Eh, I had a similar situation. I put in my notice with zero intent of negotiation beyond that. I was a union employee, so it's not like they can just change union rules to fit me. About a day later, I was told "well, hold on a minute, what if we created something for you that solved all of...

It was about an hour to put the fucking handle on. So yeah, sounds about right!

Well, it was an easy decision. That Husky is a fantastic saw, and about as big as I ever wanna be carrying around. I'll probably keep it forever. This thing? This thing is fucking dumb. It's the size of a goddamned chainsword, and it's like 35lbs. It's also made with all of the tight...

I've decided to make some upgrades to my mill.

My ex just so happened to get a 23 and me test for our oldest right after I filed for divorce. Purely coincidentally, she assures me. It's fun, she assures me.

Lotta women are like that. They'll talk about "how we work so well together" and that "you're perfect for me" without ever fucking considering that they're not perfect for you. And then lift no fingers to make any effort to work towards that. My ex was like that, and despite damned near 2...

Also, some Chinese knockoff company makes a 92cc Stihl clone for $360. I think I can put a 36" bar on there and do the rest of this project with that. Why the fuck not? Who cares if it only lasts 20 cuts...that's literally all I need it for! Fucking lol Amazon.com: Holzfforma 92cc Blue...

Yep, I got it now. Back in business. I think the grinder I had wasn't putting the hook on. The first run at sharpening got it passable. After I finish this log, I'll do it again before the next one and I should be in a good spot. Just these logs left...then the big fuckers.
