chain saw welding

The BOP/Rover block weighs around 320 pounds or so, IIRC. I do seem to recall that it has been used for chainsaws, seeing as how the power to weight ratio is so good. I've also seen VW motors used. Whatever your favorite motor is I'm sure will do just fine for extreme chainsaws.

You just gotta know the guys who build them fully are out to have some serious fun. I am Hoping Richard Smith posts the video I sent him. It's out there.... I would just not want to be around if it pitched the chain. No way you could survive. I thought a 5.23sec pass was cool.... This seems right up there!

Is this the video you're talking about?

Hi Rob, everyone

Here it is. Link page to ultimatechainsaw.asf - a 1.6MB video clip.

As per exhortations on the page itself, please conserve my bandwidth by making a local copy. You are likely to watch this on more than one occasion!

Makes me miss being in America. I was so happy working amongst people who liked to do things properly.

Artemia Salina's following post - V8ChainSaw.avi is one and the same file - but it is "misnamed" - my Quicktime player couldn't open it. Renamed it to "V8ChainSaw.asf" and the Windows Media Player lept up and showed to to be the same piece of movie footage. That's at

Thanks Richard! Much appreciated!

If I could only remember the root password to my web-server I'd like to redo it but it hosts my POP3 and SQL server so I'd need a full rebuild, So not cool... Gotta love Solaris 8.

Thanks again!

Those saws arent cheap to buy, but the few spareparts I have had to buy have been very reasonably priced... It might be different in the US though..

About five years ago I repaired the crankcase on my Husqvarna 161 using Devcon metal loaded epoxy resin. It's still working fine now.

Thanks for the input regarding the Devcon epoxy - I was thinking along the same lines and considering using JB Weld epoxy - do you think they are comparable?

I'm not an expert on epoxy types, and since I'm in the UK, I suspect you will have brands available in the USA which I have never heard of. I'm sure any reputable outfit will have a technical services department which will give you advice on what to use, and how.
