Messes! Er, I mean, Firewood!

The new Stihl ms271 and some of its victims.

The old reliable, MS290 from 8 or 9 years ago finally died mid cut last week. Burnt to a crisp. I guess it ran a little lean or something.... scored it to crap. Anyhow, it owed me nothing.

Also got a Poulan 5020 to use for demolition and construction - it's utterly replaceable if I burn it up or run it over. Good saw for the money, absolutely.

Mr. Squatch,

This category is titled "Other Things We Make", not "Things We Cut Up With A Chain Saw To Burn".

Hope this helps.

I'm confused. Are you splitting logs in quarters with a chainsaw ? Is that how youse guys do it in Canada ?
We just use an ax.
Except for Eugene. Eugene lost his ax privilege. He wasnt Careful with His Ax.

[SchmidtN]

I was expecting to find failed pipe stummels... not a new chainsaw.

You still only have the one 3 legged dog now, right?

It must be getting colder out, both an axe and a chainsaw have been posted! I'm old and lazy so I'm gonna post a pic of my thermostat

I expect to see your next pipe carved with that chainsaw. That goes for all of you.

Splitting a 14" chunk of pine with 10 different branches in it is next to impossible. You get weird ugly chunks of wood. So I just rip the big ones up with the saw and then I have something splittable. Takes about 20 seconds with the RS chain on there.

The old 290 is junk. It's fried, and I am not going to keep it for parts, cuz I'm not handy that way.

[KurtHuhn]

Steve's chainsaw make mine look downright puny - a 20 year old Husky 61.

[SchmidtN]

... cuz I'm not handy that way.

Talk about lobbing them underhanded Todd! Can't wait to hear whatever says you are handy for!

MS271....Pssh! MS311.

After JM's planer accident, they don't let him use chainsaws with chains on them anymore.
