Complete restoration of an old rusty Stihl chainsaw

Incredible restoration of an old Sthil 08s chainsaw, a model that was very successful due to its low maintenance and good power. I was very happy to give new life to this machine, as I used one of these for several years in my youth. Many thanks to everyone who will watch the video.

Wow, amazing that after all these years this saw is STIHL here

I should have SAW that coming

What a thing of beauty. Does my soul good to see it brought back to life.

[@chrisgilling543]

That was really interesting to watch, no distracting music or talking too which made the video so relaxing to watch. Amazing finished result! Like night and day 👍

[@tmghn1]

The most amazing thing is you remember where everything goes to get it back together. Man I wish I had a mind like that

[@capatainnemo]

He just so happens to have videos of him taking it apart

[@gillie-monger3394]

Video, photos and lots of plastic bags and labels! 😉

He records everything, so he doesn't need to remember anything

[@stefank264]

You are working for Stihl!! No one else can put all the parts together again! Great Job.

[@Pgr-pt5ep]

Your comment suggests you replacing a lightbulb was the most complicated "mechanical" job you did.

[@richardrichardson6677]

Absolutely fantastic I really loved his torque wrench when his wrist clicked 😂

[@shermdog6969]

Aw. Sand blasting is my favorite part. So relaxing. I had a job that all i done was sandblast parts and ro this day was the best job i ever had.

[@ronaldodebritomanfredo367]

I love it too.

[@bobp5356]

Nice job. You got that saw to start right up and it was totally re-built. I can't even get my miserable Stihl saw to start and it damn near brand new.

[@joshuamusser8893]

I’ve had good luck with my stihls. I have a 088, 881, 661 cm, 201t, 151t CE, 461, a few others… none were ever problematic. Which one are you using

[@mikemcdougall8969]

This video was oddly soothing and relaxing to watch.

[@LunaP1]

That was so much caked in dirt. It was super satisfying to you cleaning the heck out of all those parts.

[@aldemarnarvaezbedon8069]

Muy buen trabajo de restauración. Felicitaciones.

[@hasanhusan6912]

Стара добра 08S. Мој отац је купио једну такву средином 70их. Половну. Била је тешка за руковање али поуздана и издржљива. Касније смо купили нову, познате марке и користили обе, истивремено. Нова се распала после 15так година. Оца више нема од 2013. а 08S се , вероватно, налази у некој остави. Поздрав.

[@walterruizdiaz874]

Realmente un trabajo impresionante, perfecto,de lo que es una verdadera restauración. Por otra parte merecido homenaje a la STHIL 08,una de las mejores motosierras que se han fabricado. Saludos cordiales desde la provincia de Corrientes Argentina

You point out the glaring flaw of a disposable society. Well done.

Top notch work on the best chainsaw ever built ! Congratulations!

[@colerutledge3234]

[@gmpzgxw]

I was scratching my head at how many parts there were in the first three minutes. What a number!! It's wonderful that you revived the chainsaw without losing these! The sharpness is also excellent ☺️

[@bradbutterly8300]

My dad had one just like it. My brother's restored it to its original point and now it works even better than before. My dad was 83yrs years old. I miss him 🇦🇺🙏👍🖐🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@christnelson382]

Très bon reconditionnement, le résultat final est vraiment impeccable, encore bravo !!👍

[@wizebuck]

That old chainsaw had all the indications of very little use or rebuild prior to neglect. The chain sprocket had almost no wear as did the teeth on the chain. Also the piston and cylinder bore were very little worn. Almost like it was bought for one job then stuck away for years........... although the handle and trigger say it had quite a bit of use. Anyway you did a marvellous job restoring it and the way it ran made me smile. Well done.

[@MrGamb]

Exactly friend! Whoever has used it for years has been very careful with it, thank you very much.

[@justinlemon8326]

This was the saw I used as limber on the logging crew as a teenager. Good memories with that old saw.

[@raymondhudon3779]

I am about finish restoration of my father stihl 08 ! 08 is just before the 08s ! The différence is the 08s have chain break on it but that the same saw ! I put a big bore cylinder on it and i ported the cylinder for more power ! When i finish , i make a test and she going on the stand in my garage whit my collection of old saws ! My father past away in 2016 and i am sure he is happy to see is old 08 back in life ! 😊

[@MrGamb]

Hello friend! I also lost my dear father 7 years ago, I know what it's like! Congratulations on your restoration, your father is certainly happy about it!😊🤝

[@SouthPawEd]

That is freaking gorgeous! On a safety note, *always* wrap your thumb around the front handle when you're running the saw. Opposing your thumb to the rest of your fingers will prevent the saw from slipping out of your grip and towards you if it ever kicks back. Nice work!

[@garrett3113]

Your making me want to buy a project chainsaw and restore it also haha nice work. Awesome

[@MrGamb]

Go ahead friend! It's very rewarding

[@nelsongalvez5545]

Mr Gamb, eres un verdadero artista, esa motosierra es muy antigua, de echo tiene platinos y condensador, no es electrónica, es de las primeras 08 y quedo como recién salida de fabrica. me llamo la atención el estado del pistón, estaba en muy buenas condiciones. aprendí a trabajar con motosierras con una de esas que tenia mi padre. Felicitaciones y tienes un nuevo suscriptor desde Chile.

[@leviathanmac3053]

Great restoration, love the peroxide on the plastic, my only concern would be crankshaft and gudgeon pin bearings over the long term, did you fit new?, and i would have fitted a new chain, wouldn't have trusted the rivet pins at links, however that said, well impressed with the resto.

[@brendanhayward7577]

Definitely would have replaced the chain.

Great Restoration except for the rusty chain restoration without any sharpening . Better to replace that then have a weak link break an fly off.

Good Lord! All those parts!! Whoever figured out how to make this thing in the first place? And then, how can you take it all apart and know how to put it all back together again?? It's beyond anything I could even begin to do.
