Title: The "came here from other chainsaw forum" thread
Post by: Saw Dr. on January 03, 2011, 08:15:39 AM
I thought it would be interesting to spend my first post seeing who else is here that I might know.  Recent updates and hacking elsewhere have caused an interesting movement among these boards....  So who else is making the jump? 

The Doctor is in.

Yeah, this place looks pretty cool.  I didn't even know it existed until parrisw mentioned it on another site...  So you guys can blame Will for tipping me off.

You ID'ed one one of my mystery cylinders on the other side...The Dolmar & Echo were ID'ed..but still one left! I got temporarily shut out of that place for some unknown reason probably related to the forum upgrade, found this forum is a much more pleasant place to be! And most of my com padre's from over there are showing up here! So a maybe few visits back there from time to time but things happen for a reason...and without the "bump" I wouldn't have focused on this place! And Saw's & Com padre's aside there seems to be more here for my real work relative to the farm and my wood lots. I just keep reading....much more learning in the other area's here on this forum for me to do. Hope you find the same and hang around..

(BTW the "java upload' feature where it re-sizes pics is SO nice!)

Please feel free to send me all 3 of those cylinders.  I'll be happy to match up that third one after I get done putting a 143 top end on my Makita cutoff saw.....  Lol.

That's pretty good!  :D You have any J-red 630 or 2094 parts? (Bits & pieces..I have SO many bottom ends!...You can Have one either way actually...come up to one of the GTG's! in the neck of the woods, it will be a door prize!)

Hello!

I've been lurking and decided to join today. I usually frequent another site, but always wish for more traffic here to read. I think that may come to pass if the other site continues to have loading issues - I haven't been able to get on at all today.

Yup, there is real interesting stuff is spread all over the Forestry Forum and you won't have enough time in the day to read what gets posted daily. 

I'll take the blame for the chainsaw board not growing as it could. I do understand that the chainsaw guys are a bit more rough and tumble and used to a different line of conduct then what I will allow here, but our goal is to make sure that anyone and everyone that comes here does it without fear of objecting to content or conduct. Some places are just better suited to sniffing two stroke fumes and arguing about this versus that. Don't let that fool ya into thinking I wash with baby wipes though. ;)

Well--maybe to a point but you have to admit for the most part most of us have been quite gentlemanly . ;D
I never much brought up the issue of souped up saws on this forum because quite frankly the interest didn't seem to be here .Maybe I was wrong about that ?

I agree Al, that's why I didn't hang around much. I got the same feeling at Tree World, not much interest in hot rod saws.

That right there is one reason I like this site !Some of the conflicts on "other"sites can be quite a "turn off",but I keep going back for the "good stuff" and try to gloss over the rancor.
Great job Jeff,keep up the good work !! I'm a "lifer". I may not post a lot but I do appreciate the content & great membership !

I don't doubt that there is alot of other cool stuff on here.  Sadly my time is limited for internet banter.  I have to spend some time in the shop.  I am a gearhead at heart, so I pretty much stick to the saw forums.  I'm actually pretty much of a sissy when it comes to using the things.  I don't mind felling and bucking the easy ones, but the hazard trees can go to someone else or fall on their own.
The rough and tumble crowd can annoy the best of us, so I endeavor to stay out of that.  Sorry if I am coming off like a tool to some of the fixtures around here.  Just wanting to see who else I know.  I have been sniffing around several places to see where I fit in.

It's the saw snobs that irk me the most over there. I never mind a good natured debate but when it turns mean it's time to leave. Some folks never seem to grasp that is the sawyer that makes the saw and not the other way around. I like the plant and tree ID forum here too.

I won't blame anyone for wanting to keep it nice, and am not really sure that has anything to do with the number of posts about saws.

However, there is one other chainsaw forum that has a much higher rate of exchange, regarding chainsaw related info - and that is the only reason I spend much more time on that forum than I spend here.
That other forum (site really) is much rougher (for good and bad), but that issue is not my main priority.

Well, I tried to respond from my phone.  I guess that is a no-go... 

Anyway, If the grits cannot be eaten with a fork, they're not grits in my book.  I don't do runny grits.  Maybe add a little butter or bacon if it is around.  Otherwise I'll have them straight up.

All too often I think people take serious what some of us might say in jest,just bantering ,no more no less .

I am one who actually appreciates the hot saw topics.  Personally, I've only dabbled in muffler mods to date.  I do also have a mildly modded MS460 by Walker's in BC.  However, I've got a few project saws in the works and look to these posts for inspiration.  

So please pull up a chair and stay for awhile.

Just for clarification I think the usage of the term "hotsaws " is misleading to many . What you will most generally hear or see on forums is more just enhancements or "woods porting " .In other words modifications which up grade the power output of a saw which is used in an everyday working situation . A true racer or hotsaw is just that,a three cut wonder .The cost for same would exceed an amount that most would care to bear . Fast runners not long runners .

Terms can get a personality all their own like "porting " a muffler .Now just where in the world or who pray tell ever came up with that idea ? Further more what genious ever had the idea it took a mechanical engineer to figure out how to do same remains the 64 thousand dollar question .Mountains out of mole hills . :D

That is right, most of it is good natured, but may look ugly to those that doesn't understand.
However, a few members that often make jokes about others, get really mad themselves, when "the favour" is returned. Happily, there isn't many that fit into that category..... :)
Title: Re: The "came here from other chainsaw forum" thread
Post by: Jeff on January 05, 2011, 02:21:58 PM
I totally understand the good natured jibes and pokes and inside jokes. Remember, I spent 25 years in a sawmill.   What we have to look out for here are first impressions because our audience is much broader. The Forestry Forum is listed many places as a research source for information not only for adults but for kids as well.  We have been involved in some important events in the past and earned the respect of "people in high places"  This includes state and federal agencies like the Forest Service.

We don't want to lose that respect and stamp of quality if you will. Believe me boys, I can stand toe to toe with you, but if I know that your daughter or wife is within ear shot, I become what we all need to be here, because our wives and daughters and grandchildren are here. Believe me, they are and that's a great thing.
Title: Re: The "came here from other chainsaw forum" thread
Post by: Al_Smith on January 05, 2011, 02:50:00 PM
I think most of us respect your position on that Jeff and pretty much toe the line  in spite of the orneryness that lies within some of us . ;D

My only reason for explaining sometimes the bravado that gets exibited other places is the crowd within .They say in Rome sometimes you have to act Italian,so to speak . ;) Myself being an ex navy sub sailor I have no limit in  the vocabulary of the profane but am also capable of putting on my gentlemans cap and acting accordingly and so shall it be .

What does "GTG" stand for?  I take it that it's some sort of an event. It appears this has been brought here from another board.  Would somebody enlighten me, please?  Thanks in advance.

Mill our own or order them. Cheaper for me to buy at .40-.55 lbf.  I got monster poplars, but to drop, load, mill, cost more then a run to the mill.

I have a 10 year old Homelite that I've converted to a two cylinder, 4 cycle engine.  changing it to a 4 cycle was a little bit of a challenge, but worth it. It has a 30 inch straight iron pipe exhaust.  I bet it would beat anything that anyone would care to put up against it. Any takers?    ;)

Where do you guys get all the wood you are cutting up into cookies?

I donated "tops" from a thinning/culling job on my place...we thin around 25 acres a year on my farm...have a few more years left to go before we are done.

As an aside; when I host our small gathering of friends, its analogous to have a few buddies come of and trail ride & bs about motorcycles;  we  blend the cookie cutting with a bunch of other logging/forestry related activities....last one we skidded a bunch of large tops (50ft typical) that we then used to run the saws blocking and limbing , then took some bigger & nicer logs to the camp area for informal races. Try to make these two day deals a range of activities  so folks move around and do other things as well. A typical day will have woods work, lots of food, break out groups who do swap meets, project "show & tell", saw building or repair projects, MORE food, sometimes "new saw" show & tell, towards the end of the day informal cookie cutting races. On one we less time so we went out and found a tree for cookies and dropped it dragged it back to camp & spent the day doing saw building & repair/testing then cookie cutting ..with lots of food mixed in! Another we working milling into the day...Bottom line is I don't want the focus to be strictly on COOKIES!

You can get a lot of good ideas just sitting around passing camal dung, again the forerunner of BS .Ideas that do work, don't work or might work .

Then too you get a chance to see a lot of stuff you might not see otherwise .

A story .At one GTG I had as usual the Homelite 2100 S that is in my avatar on the TH with me .Another guy was there with a slightly different model of the same saw but complained it lacked compression .I had him try mine with the decomp off .He was a big old bruiser and could barely roll it .In examination of his I noticed the decomp lever mechanism was missing which explains the problem .

It wasn't that I was all that smart  or a genious on 2100's but merely the fact because they are old and rare nobody was familiar with them .

For one reason or another some people either lose interest in a site ,get banned whatever .It's no big deal because I've been jettisoned from one I actually tried to quit and lost interest in several others because of personal reasons .

However having said that it appears by the scuttlebutt on the net that evidently one praticular site has annoyed more than several people here of late without going into details .Comes as no surprise to me because I predicted it several years ago .

I only wish I could use that clairvoyance in the stock market  :D

I see a lot on names that I recognize.  Al (Smith), if I had known that you were active here I would've spent more time here.  I enjoyed your posts at AS and TH (how's Butch doing these days?).

Glad to see that Jeff is still making sure things remain civil.  I was around when a certain group stormed in here and basically tried to take over the chainsaw forum.  They got shut down PDQ.

I'm still active on the chainsaw forum at AS, so I'm not actually a refugee.  I'm also not as inactive here as my post count indicates, I used to post a fair amount here in a previous life, but the chainsaw forum here was pretty low traffic.  Looks like things have picked-up quite a bit.

I recall that the people here at FF were always friendly & helpful, and I'm looking forward to again spending some time here.

I've never been banned over there, maybe I haven't tried hard enough :D.  I did complain long & loud when a certain heavy-handed moderator managed to ban and/or run off about half the folks in the chainsaw forum.  Al, I think that was about the time that you got fed-up and left for good.

At one time the owner found out that I was posting at TH and gave me some grief about it.  I pointed out that I was actually suggesting, on both sites, that the folks keeping the "war" going should let it go.

Old news, water under the bridge.  I'm looking forward to asking many stoopid kwestshuns here at FF.

Hey now old Jeff has to admit it now .Since this "they came from other forums " business this site has had more traffic in the last three or so weeks than in the previous three months . 8)

By dear friend near Denver did you a favor or so it does appear .Strange how things work out . :D

Yeah, but sawmilling and logging remain the most popular (outside of the general board). But there has been a little boost in membership in Dec-Jan for sure. Plus a couple or three new sponsors in the last half year.  8)

I don't know of any forestry related forums with the traffic the FF has.  :)

Why sure that makes sense . I mean you have a sawyer running the place .

Butch is a climber therefore the site has a lot of arborists and tree care professionals .

The Buzz I can't say other than a bunch of recreational climbers but then again one of the owners is a world class competitor in that stuff .

Magnus is a chainsaw collecter .

As they say birds of a feather flock together . ;D

I've had some folks ask me about a good site for milling info, and I always recommend ForestryForum.  I do confess that when I'm asked about chainsaw info I mention a couple of other sites  :-\,, which site depends on if they're intersted in newer saws, or vintage saws.

It would be nice if certain sites would allow links to similar sites, but I understand why risking having members 'jump ship' isn't a good idea.

That said, I'm glad to see the ForestryForum chainsaw forum getting more traffic 8).

Well I've never thought that links are big deal but some don't see it my way .No big deal because sites or forums are on the net with a Google search anyway .

I agree.  Some folks stay pretty much with one site, others are active on several sites at the same time, & others will drift in and out.  Sometimes I get tired of reading about chainsaws (blasphemy :o!) and wander out into cyberspace to pursue other interests.

Google is your friend ;).

The reason for not allowing links to other forums is not to keep members from telling people about other forums. Its a catch all rule to stop trolls or malcontents from using your forum as their indiscriminate means of spamming and advertising.  You can't tell them no unless you tell everybody no.  Its just one of those things.

Hey, Jeff, I've occasionally posted a link to woodheat.org a non-profit site that has some pretty good info on burning wood safely and efficiently. I hope I wasn't violating any forum rules... I've never noticed that the links were removed or censored.

I don't see everything, but since I own the place, everything is at my discretion. ;)  Generally, if a link is posted in order to help someone, I won't say anything. Now if you were posting the link every time someone mentioned firewood, then it might raise my hackles. :)

I've probably posted it 2 or 3 times. It's definitely just a helpful informational site. No advertising or commercial ventures, so it probably passes the "spam/advertising" test...

I have a 10 year old Homelite that I've converted to a two cylinder, 4 cycle engine.  changing it to a 4 cycle was a little bit of a challenge, but worth it. It has a 30 inch straight iron pipe exhaust.  I bet it would beat anything that anyone would care to put up against it. Any takers?    ;)


  Yep I would take a shot at it!!! Let me know when and where.

:)Yes, that has been the weak point, and is the main reason I have posted a lot more on another site. It has been getting better lately, and that is a good thing!   8) 8) 8)
