Message: <blockquote data-quote="psuggmog" data-source="post: 51180">A question and a few answers.I'll post bike pictures in the picture gallery soon. Where do I post the miltary truck and wood carving pictures?  Augidog, the saws I run are various sizes. I use three stihls and 5 husqvarnas. The largest one is 81cc and has a 36" bar. The littlest one is a stihl018 and has a 12" bar. These saws are not the "hot saws" used to cut through a log in the shortest time possible, they are used to remove wood and leave the sculpture behind. The largest saw I own was made in the 1940s and has a 2cylinder engine. It is a museum piece. The biggest modern saw I have is a husqvarna 3120. It is 125cc and still in production. My main carving saws are husqvarna 346XPs. They have a high power-to-weight ratio and rev upto 15,500 rpms. I participated in two carving events sort of near you last summer. One was at Ocean Shores and the other at Tokeland WA.  I have thought about making a chainsaw powered bike to ride around at the carving contests. The modern chainsaw motors don't visually appeal to me as much as the old skool looking stuff. I have only been to the Seattle area bike swap once, but I got a mid 1930s Raleigh basketcase girl's bike for $10. The gem of the deal was a 1935 sturmey archer type K 3speed rear hub with a built in drum brake. I got there late and all the fanatical collectors had long since picked over everything still, I got an eyefull of beautiful bikes.</blockquote>
