@@stevenfan1218 similar, if you’re cutting in the wild, that’s why this is such a great mod, it keeps the original screen "spark arrester “ in the muffler. Just have to slide it back into place, and tighten the retainer bolt

@@TL50-r9f thanks! That very interesting, didn’t know that they crimped the mufflers like that. The round port is probably the way to go but this works too. It seems like on some of my other husky’s mufflers they crimped and soldered most of all the seams together.

@@allenhuling598 absolutely! Both are great saws! Glad to hear that your old 61 is still hanging in there, and doing work for you. It blows me away, that a forty something year old mechanical tool can still put in work and be reliable. Yep she was running a little fat on the top end, but still working out the bugs out of her, but we’ll get it dialed. Thanks for dropping a comment here. I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska, and check out that great place, possibly one day.Anyways, keep warm this winter!

@@tfloutdoors327 Thanks for the reply! Alaska is more accessible than most would imagine, but having a solid plan when you visit is important....interesting things to do are often very far apart! Cheers for the videos!

@@ShanePhillips-mv7biNope!!!

@@BrassCatcher365 thank you! I really appreciate that!

@tfloutdoors327 you're welcome! Carry on! 🤙

That they do, a buddy of mine has one with a 272 top end, it’s a sweet running little saw.

@@ErnestJohnson-qk1xi jacksmallengines.com has them. They originally fit the 357 and 359 saws, but can be easily modified/ filed down a bit, to fit up on the 455/460 Husqvarna saws. I drilled out the holes for more of a custom look but also reduces some weight

@@nat7829 it’s sporting a custom made velocity stack, most likely a small cc dirt bike type k&n filter. Can get a measurements of the filter if needed

@@banderasXx69 6-7 oz leather on this one. I haven’t had much time to use this case out in the a real work environment, but it should hold up good. Other work axe sheaths that I’ve made, have a buckle to fasten it to the axe, they never come undone

@@richarddodds9326 nope, still working like it’s supposed to. Screen slips right out. Many years and hours on it since the mod

lol it’s my bad, didn’t flip the camera out of selfie mode. It’s not a lefty saw, just a plane janer

@@DingleBerryschnapps back in the day, it sucked to split green rounds using a steel wedge and sledge hammer. Normally, wood needed to dry out and naturally crack a bit, before wedging with a hammer, depending on wood species.

@@illiji915 there is a small split in the middle. It’s just a tough piece of wood lol

@@mehmetalperkorkmaz9479 true! We used to start in a crack first, if the piece had one in it, normally on the outer edges. This one had a small split in the center, for whatever reason.

Actually prefer the 22 wood splitter myself

Software broke many moons ago! Lol!

Yeah I’ve never done anything like this, but I’ve seen videos of people splitting other things with wedges and they usually hammer out a line all the way across and then keep working it, and usually by then the thing’s already split

Green wood is a royal pain to split this way, grew up doing this method, Wedge and hammer is more suited for dried out rounds, ime.

@@BUCKSTALKER123 Thanks! I don’t either, just what I have, it’s a very difficult method to get it all lined up, especially with a thicker oz leather and welt! Much appreciated 👍

@@RebirthMusicStudios great info! Thanks for sharing. On mine I was attempting to keep the build of the pipe similar dimensions to stock length, but didn’t considered the length of the distance from the end, to the outlet. Very interesting!

@@kylemclaughlin1578 thanks! 🙏, definitely would be worth doing the aftermarket deflector, this one here was a little short, had to add an extension to it, later on. They work great! Thanks for dropping a comment! 👍

@@tfloutdoors327 for sure! I painted my muffler with high temp gloss black earlier today, and once the WCS port arrives, I’ll be cutting out the top hole and adding the deflector to the top of the muffler. Should look, sound, and perform pretty sweet once it’s all done 👍

@@kylemclaughlin1578 heck ya! I’m sure you know this, but make sure the inside of the muffler is clear of all the metal shavings after drilling or grinding. They can kill the piston, and cylinder. Also tune the carb, they typically run leaner after a muffler mod to the stock can.

@@tfloutdoors327 of course! I have completely removed the muffler and modded and cleaned it while it was off the saw. I also have the special 12 point tuning screwdriver to richen up the high speed screw. Thanks

@@kybowhunter yep, modded stock muffler, the saw builder did the mod for me in this one, both ports screened

Thanks man! Awesome, I will have to check it out!👍

Thanks buddy! Had a blast editing this one! Glad you liked it, kind sir!

Thanks, practice a lot in the backyard with a fly without a hook, also it is best to match up the weight of the rod and reel for best balance. The length of rod is import. Like this creek here we used are using very light poles, like 3-4, and 6.5’. Are you lake fishing, river, or creek fishing?

@@tfloutdoors327 Noted, creek and ponds is where I’ll be fishing the most.

@@ReelOutdoorsmen ok great! As you probably know, the longer poles cast further, I have a tendency to stay away from the really cheep gear, it works, and that’s with I learned on, but we use middle of the road equipment, so if a reel or rod gets smashed into the rocks, damaged, it’s not the end of the world. For backpacking or mountain fishing, we like the a 4 piece pole. There are So many options available now days, but I like Redington rods they offer a great warranty on poles and normally will take care of their customers. At least years prior they did for me! Hope this helps!

@@tfloutdoors327 Ok! Thanks for the help it means a lot.

lol, I hear ya! I love square chain and have been messing around with a square file for while now, just getting it dialed, I feel like, where it’s cuts smooth and stays sharp through out the day!

@@tfloutdoors327 I like how much my saw likes it, much less stress on the motor.

@@troyforeman5825 Totally agree💯. My fav when cutting fire wood, or anything dirty, is square skip. Cuts very nice, plus less cutters to sharpen on the longer bars

Right handed saw, video is in self mode in that clip 🤦‍♂️

Nah, wasn’t planning on it, thanks for the comment and watching my video! 👍

Ya… had to get my moneys worth out of if 🤣. Probably wasn’t the best chain to choose for testing purposes, but a good one to show cutting the rakers down on. It wasn’t producing a great chip, but still cut, even though most of the top plate is gone lol

Thank you, much appreciated! I just checked out your channel, and see you’ve made some custom pipes for some saws as well, very nice work sir! Your fab and metal skills are on the next level! 👊

@@tfloutdoors327 thanks. I have an idea to combine my pipe header with an outlet similar to yours. Did you take inspiration from the Iron Horse pipe?

@WildWestGarage not exactly or I would have gave it a mention, the inspiration for this mini pipe came from the old nitro RC planes, and car world, back in the day. Had one for years, and messed with it a lot, modding everything that was modifiable w/o messing with the motor itself. I remember buying a pipe for it that looks similar to the one featured in this video, an Aftermarket pipe, but made from aluminum, it gave that little nitro motor quite a bit more power, and a quicker throttle response. Had to try to replicate it on a larger scale. It’s not as easy as it looks. A ton of thought and planning goes into them as you know.

Thank you. No blue prints, just a lot of thought. So I based the sheath off of the actual axe head, tracing it to paper, cut out the pattern and make all the final adjustments in paper form, prior to transferring to the leather hide.
