I talked to the local Stihl dealer today - he's having a 150 ETC brought in and I'll pick it up Tuesday. You're a BAD influence! He did say that the saw slings around a fair amount of bar oil - do you have any issues with the oil getting on the wood and staining it or anything?

P

yeah it slings a little oil, but that doesn't bother me...

I just rough cut 'em with saws, and if there are oil stains I just chisel em off... lol..

P

and hang 10, lol... that seems to have become my nickname... "the machine"...

although for the last few months the machine has been a little broken, but I'm gettin' back at it.

T

I love the tiki torch tiki! Awesome! Not only are you a machine, but also a master with the chainsaw! Glad to see you starting to crank em out again!

P

Someone's been busy!!

I better put my junk away.
You're gonna steal the show.
I'll know when you get here.
I'll see the flat bed pull up with all your stuff.

P

nah, not really Will.. I got a few tikis to sell and like 30-something planks... nothing major...

you mind if I come over Friday and make stuff?

P

I think we all know that if you decide to let the masses see Trongo, he is to going to OWN the show...

Thats not the only one that will steal the show. I can think of an 8 footer that will blow peoples minds!!

H

Enough teasing guys, can you put some pictures of these fantastic pieces in their element when you get there.

P

these are on the block...
