my new toy....

these aren't cheap, but they're absolutely dreamy to use...

my friend has a slightly larger version that DOESN'T have the smaller bar & chain, and weighed considerably more... but I fell in love with it when I borrowed it (I busted the sprocket on the makita)...

but this weighs less than half of what the makita electric weighs, and comes with that little carving-type bar & thinner chain from the factory.. I think it literally weighs like, 5 lbs wet... I could swing thing thing for hours on end... and replacement chains are 20 bucks and they carry 'em up the street at the shop where I got the saw.

I am very stoked right now... and I think I'm ready to "get back on the horse"...

My dad passed a couple months ago, had some money issues, equipment issues, etc., which kinda kicked my ass there for a bit, and I went a little dormant... but I'm done with all that shit, and I'm back.

So stand clear folks... the machine is fixed, and I'm about to run it wide open from here til hukilau... :wink:
