I've always wanted one of those wood or coal-fired brick pizza ovens in my cramped backyard.Love to see the reaction from the neighbors (in addition to City Council & other pencil-pushers downtown) if I ever started to build it.... :lol:

4 cords there another 3-4 cords piled that will get split this coming weekend and still need 3 more. Yes very tough winter and spring here. Oh and fighting the eletricman is the man focus.
 
Looks like this week will be another wet one except for one day up here, so I'll be doing some cleanup in the garage or some chipping out back.

Partner K650 with 12" diamond wheel works for me.Its 17 yrs old now,model has been redesigned & upgraded a few times since them.They've (now under Husqvarna group) made a K1250 model with 120cc/7.8HP powerhead capable of handling 16" wheels for years now,too much for me to carry on a regular basis (about 32lbs) not to mention $$$$

carbide lol I wish 350.00! lol but I use 135 drive links 3/8 0.63 full chisel cut at 1 degree's.
 
hehe... i meant it jokingly but i guess i'd like a little clarification:

DOES anybody cut brick with a chainsaw? I was being sarcastic but am wondering if i'm missing something. Otherwise, we'd better make it clear before some noob wonders onto the site and decides brick trimming with his chainsaw is a good idea.

My other baby lol. 17yrs old now,has cut 4" & 5" thick granite,limestone & concrete w/heavy gauge rebar all day long.Hooked up to garden hose,blade stays cooler & no dust clouds.I bought this new,did 2 side jobs for cash after work & 1 weekend,paid it off. :coolgrin:

Partner of Sweden invented the gas cut-off saw,originally designed for rescue work,back in the late 1950's.Now part of the Husqvarna Construction Group,they have a 14" gas saw w/ off-set 'ring' blade that will cut 10" thick,instead of normal 5" like conventional saws.

Here's what I REALLY want - its a bit out of my price range unfortunately.

That is a HOSS!
 
Mini Mill with a 192t cutting out beams. 4 inch think ash. Hated the mini mill as a log first cut but as a re-saw too its pretty sweet, and the narrow kerf of the 192t its a nice little set-up.

Just like Will Malloff in that 'bible'. :coolsmile: Gonna try that with me little Echo before long.It has .043 low profile chain also.Be great on stuff thicker than 2 3/8".Thinner stuff I'll keep using the wormdrive Skilsaw & straightedge..
 
Looks like a trick little set-up Jay. Where did you get the mini mill and what did you pay for it? Looks like the ticket for edging beams. Table saw is great for boards but the bigger beams require four sided milling which can be a PITA.

Thats the same chain I am running on the 192t...Yep thats in the bible. When I bought the mini I was looking to speed up the process but thats really didnt like it at all for that. I think the best I can do with my porter cable saw is 2 inch. Oh and the cut is pretty clean!

Baileys 79.99 bucks. Comes with the gide you just screw it to a 2x6. The 192 is only 35cc so any saw will work.
