WIN A BAILEY'S CHAINSAW! (WINNER ANNOUNCED!)

[Roxie]

That's right, we're having a drawing for a Bailey's Chainsaw and here is all you have to do to get your name in the hat:

Get a block of wood that measures 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 square and 1 inch thick.
Put your Forestry Forum user name on the block (write, paint, burn, engrave).
Mail the block to:

The Forestry Forum
3210 Bischoff
Harrison, MI   48625

You'll want to get your block of wood to Jeff no later than September 5th, in order to be included in the drawing.  If you have not sent in your block, now is the time, and I hope to see all our chainsaw guys in the drawing!

Congratulations to:
thecfarm
Your name was picked at random from all of the entries for the chainsaw donated by Bailey's.  A big thanks to Bailey's for donating the saw for the pigroast drawing, and another big thanks to Carol Wade for winning it the first time at the pigroast and donating it back for this second contest. 

[Jeff]

Thanks Roxie!

Here is the saw that we are drawing for.

It was the door prize at the 2011 Pigroast, but the lady that won it, really had no use for it so has donated it back to give everyone on the forum a chance to win it.

 :D    Jeff you might get those blocks now!   :D

[WDH]

Can I send in another block ?    :D :D

[Jeff]

All previous block contributors that are still active on the Forestry Forum will be in the drawing along with any new ones that we receive.

I offered him a brand new Efco 152 last year.  :


Dandy saw to. ;D

I hear these run best with a 15% ethanol blend.  ;D

Norm, I think one would really needs to use Amsoil when using that gas. Some even use this oil at a 100/1 mix and have good results , I figure with the 15% plus 1% oil y'all should be good to go. :P   ;D

Do I need to get a micrometer out to hold those dimensions exactly? ???  I will have to get a piece of 4/4 block cut up and in the post to you ASAP! 8) 8)

Thanks for doing this!  The Forestyr Forum is AWESOME!

[Jeff]

 A good quality tape measure is sufficient.  :D ;)

[beenthere]

If it doesn't fit, then Jeff has a couple choices. Da firepit or trim it with his new chainsaw.  ;D ;D

Easy to get 5 3/4 dimension to within a 1/32. If'n it needed to be 5.750000000 then mine wouldn't have fit. But I think that was about 5 years ago so it may have either shrunk a bit or swelled up a bit since then.  : :

[Bro. Noble]

I jumped in at the beginning and sent one that's not exact or uniform and sure isn't fancy.  Jeff accepted it anyway.  It's the thought that counts although I sure appreciate and enjoy the craftmanship shown in some of the blocks and I'm sure Jeff does too.  I wish I'd used a woodburner instead of a ballpoint to identify mine :D :D

[Warbird]

Pretty cool idea, guys.  And this is why this place rocks.

[Jeff]

For those that didn't see it, this is how this contest came about.

an odd one... what do you need a compression release on a 3.4 hp saw?  

[Jeff]

If you have ever had shoulder surgeries, if you have ever been old, if you have ever been or planing to be female or any number of reasons.

[shelbycharger400]

o..ok... marketing reasons. that brings up a good reason i didnt think of,  not that long ago, my mother usto cut firewood, and part of a tree service years ago, said she couldnt get her 16 in pouland saw running, she didnt have enough strength to pull the cord fast enough, I said, if you cant start it, maybe you shouldnt be trying to use it.  (I think and she said too, from doin the front steps at the log house about 3 years ago, 3 in thick pine, all 12 to 14 in wide steps, the sides are around 14 to 16 in wide, and railing is 3 by 6, might have been too much.) She went and bought an electric chain saw, lol, i told her their was one in the shed, then she said..well i have 2 now..lol

  Looks like i might have to push myself to getting my mill done to make a block
i could use another pruner saw/ light to medium log saw.

Jeff, with all these blocks of wood....are you going in the firewood business?

[Cut4fun]

My 026 pro has one and they sure didnt need them.

Some people getting up in age or problems with hands or shoulders probably  like the less effort starting with a de-comp.

"All these blocks" is kinda funny if you know the history of this project...

The "new" MS361 I bought has a compression release on it, too, although I haven't used it. I like those on my 084 and 090, though. It DOES help my right shoulder, too! ;)

[shelbycharger400]

ive used an older 084, with no release.. 10hp+...  it takes it tol on u, yes...i can see a release on that one.

on the blocks...  i think i might to a hand hewn one with my new toy , an antique single edge hatchet

[petefrom bearswamp]

I have had both bad shoulders (rotator cuff and am old )
A compression release on any saw is just right for me.
Jeff does exotic wood give you a better chance?
Pete

[Jeff]

nope.
