Handy-Man Corner

I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

Moral of the story - mind the blade!
I agree. Where I work we have stihl and jonsered they were good saws for sure but finicky and really were not well suited for the abuse so many crews who didnt care gave them. The best saw we had and the one I always chose if it was available a 18 in Homelite. We bought that saw on way to jobsite from payless cashways. We had the Stihl and jonsered in shop for maintenance and needed now. That sucker is still kicking no telling how many miles of line that saw has cut out of a forest.

That Homelite is legend around the shop. I bought same model for home from Sutherland Lumber for 60 bucks as a refurb and its been going strong since 1980.

Dad bought a second hand Wards Westbend 820 when I was a kid it weighed a ton so he bought a new Remington gas chainsaw and took the westbends motor and made us a gocart. That thing would haul ass easy 50 60 mph but felt like 120. Mom thought me and my brother were gonna kill ourselves so it was sold from under us while at school. She was probably right.

I have two Stihl saws. Both are over 20 years old and work great. I sharpen the blades myself with a Dremmel adapter and stone, and other than tune ups, they are super dependable. Your saw should accept an 18" bar no?

When we moved here it was okay, but I learned that trees grow fast. (And, we had another space at my now departed Mother-in-laws place.) If I had of had the insight those trees would have been much easier to cut.

Anyway sorry to have de-railed.

I will say I agree with Beuhler most chainsaws will do very well if you take care and keep chain sharp and cleaned of pitch. Cedar is sappy and is a bastard on saws found that out clearing centerline for Wilson Creek National Battlefield in Republic Mo.

Soft wood and sticky. Only cut cedar when it's cold as **** and knots that were hard as hell.


I've been at Wilson's Creek. I had a screaming child (cutting teeth) in the car but I remember the road around it. I must have circled it 10 times before she went to sleep.

Wasnt born yesterday. Construction doesnt wait for change of seasons. It was summer and bulldozers dont like to wait for their centerline stakes and clearing limits. I probably staked that ring road 5 to 10 times after alignment changes because the archaeologists would find artifacts. Federal gov project took 5 years before construction ever got started with all the change orders. It was a fun job in beautiful country especially the fall. Most the line was cut with ditch bank blade and machete till National Park Service gave up permission to use chainsaws. We used a homelite it was marvelous.
