PORTED STIHL 026!! FIRST TIME IN THE WOOD!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Great lil’ saw , thx tinman

[@glennboyd71]

My grandfather cut a ton of firewood for many years with his 026 and handed it down to my father and he cut a lot of wood around the house with it for years and it’s now been handed down to me. Watching this video has inspired me to clean this saw up and have it worked over / tuned up to use around my property and maybe hand it down to one of my boys someday. Thoughts and prayers to Buckin and family

[@Idahooffgrid]

I run two 026s and a 460. I bought my first 026 when I was a teenager, and inherited the second one from my grandfather we he passed away. We cut firewood together for many many years with those saws. I still cut 10+ cords a year with my 026.

[@lanceuselton3124]

Hey hey Tinman, great little saw,. Have watched the whole build, glad to see the finicky builds, baby steps and keep at it pays off in the long run. Runs nice seem strong. I like little goes a long way, especially for longevity. Thanks for sharing

[@chriscrusader5412]

Oh Yeah! She cuts Eh! That chain is sharp! I almost laughed to see you walk out to that branch with such a small saw..

[@mlasch1478]

I have been waiting and following the progress with baited breath. Can't wait to see this saw in wood.

[@EricChmelarsky]

Impressive, great one. What a journey this has been. From the junk pile to a gem of a saw. I purchased a used ,newly ported 7310 Echo, from a reputable man. I fear, I'm spoiled for life now. Wow, what a difference. Someday I'll get the time to try porting a saw myself.

[@stevennick2181]

Great saw. This has been my first full year with my 260.

[@ronbrown1901]

Sounds and looks as good as we expected! Still waiting for it to be come the first saw in my post-shop-fire collection!😂❤ Hope the family is healthy and happy, Y'ALL take care 🤙

[@brucenicov1224]

She Cuts Eh!!! Nice one Bud!!! I have the same sort of thing, property that forever needs cleanup. Great job on that Ripper!!!

[@fixinanddoinstuff2134]

Have enjoyed the 026 series. Will be a go to series down the road. Thanks sir

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

The "Geezer Saw" is a rockin'!!!!💪

[@skravlesen]

Man that thing runs awesome! I need to go into mine and do some minor adjustments to make it more like this one. Amazed how this thing holds the high rpm's in the cut. Great job Tinmaster💪😎

[@roadie5872]

That saw is sweet you can sure build a good work saw! Holds rpm even buried in the wood nice build. And thanks for the tips on the chain filing, think I know what my issue is now.

[@robertsimard735]

Wow, that saw is awesome. Great job.

[@joelnitsche2979]

It looks like a little ripper. Nice job Tinman!

[@chapsmaketory3960]

Its that dam butterfly on filter w mine..my 026 is a 5-10 pull saw as well..swear its butterfy..i go back n forth from choke to fast idle n usually second go around it fires..after its been started its a one pull screamer..no machine work just woods ported and runs as expected...026 is a must in any sawmans quiver..

[@larrybollinger7319]

Looks like a good one. Another great build tinman. God bless buckin and family.

[@ryanbruner8928]

It's so amazing to watch the "story" of this saw and then see it in wood, great series Tinman!!!

[@BrandonBigB956]

I love the 026 with an 18-inch bar it's a perfect saw for small wood and limbing a downed tree. So far, I have left mine 100% stock but definitely going to muffler mod it and then leave it alone at that point.

[@JeffreySimundson]

This oughta keep a man grinning through his "chainsaw chores"

[@stuartramage5933]

Peace and love from Scotland.stu.

[@tinmanssaws]

Hey stu how you been buddy?

[@JourneyOfIdleHands]

She cuts bud! Great little work saw. The journey to this point seems totally worth it.

[@Mikes308]

Great job! One of my favorite little camping and hunting saws. Easy to take anywhere

[@jasonreese4824]

Wow Tinman very very nice nice RPM all the way Tru and that saw has some fabulous power

[@f9qo]

Fun looking saw that you have made there. It makes for an easy transition putting an 026 piston and cylinder into an 024. Porting and lightened piston and muffler mod added to that, makes for quite a powerful saw considering the displacement. I probably included the 026 carb, it's been too long to remember. I've run the heck out of the thing for a long time, very reliable with no problems except for my ears.

[@Scottyjprice]

That thing runs nice, beautiful property you have there. Have a great day!

[@JeffLamar-wh7nc]

Nice little saw. Great build, Tinman

[@clarencetrice4442]

😊😊 HI TINMAN it's all about the air flow the more they pull the more power they make 😊🎉 OMG 1O 16 2O24

[@timstone721]

Sounds great from down here on the mountain in Alabama at 35 degrees this morning, thanks for all the videos

[@Magoot2456]

Love it man! I love how the rpm stays up high through the cut! Great job and even greater that you took us on the entire journey with you :)

[@Magoot2456]

I just noticed you got 19 videos out of this one saw :) man, she fought you the whole way! Hahaha much love Tinman!

[@bobhanke6401]

I believe that is the perfect porting job for that 026, Tinman. I am impressed with your dedication to the task. That is the best size saw for an old man with a bad back that still loves to cut his own firewood. Great job!!

[@ronniegrannan5423]

I run an 18” on my stock 026 it gets the job done every time. Love the process and progress on this saw

[@curtisgriffith9825]

Wicked little saw Tinman! Runs great and sounds great. It'll rip a 24" just fine. Great job Tinman!

[@martyrutter3630]

Outdoors on a beautiful day with a saw that was ripping 👍👍 Was an absolute joy to meet your Mom, please tell her I said hello. You are right a blessing Buckin arrived home in time to spend a few days with his Dad. KZbin brings us together for the moments both happy and sad times. Blessings my friend. 🙏♥️♥️

[@TheJohnDeereGuy]

Good to see it cutting wood. Sounds like a pretty strong runner. Nice saw.

[@hkcitation]

Looks like a good build after all the trouble it gave you. Glad you kept after it and didn't give up on it.

[@timstoltzfus8408]

I now know my chain needs attention! Thanks for the close up view and the burr!! I have an 036 24" for myself and an 024 for my son(11). We will be practicing sharpening using your method. I have very much enjoyed this build series!! I'd love to win that hot 026, but even if I don't thank you so much for sharing your life and your expertise with us.

[@gyulatimko2075]

Wow, great saw!

[@NickTaylor-lm1lv]

Nice to to see it in the wood. It's been a long road with with this one. Nice job. Now it's getting time for it to leave the nest

[@robertblacksmith4355]

I've cut 100s of truck loads with my Stihl 028 great little saws!

[@b.b.1860]

Wow, Tinman! That saw just screams through those trees! The words "Hot knife" and "butter" come to mind, but don't know exactly in what context [sure, sure... want to buy some Arizona sea shore?] well, it's gonna be a great saw for a lucky person.

[@camrynrhodes798]

Awesome thanks . That saw rips. Can't wait to see 24in bar on it 😍

[@AllenBurgess-r5q]

Goes good brother been watching your content for a few years and your progress l have been playing with saw most of my life keep it up brother from a another mother al burgess

[@AllenBurgess-r5q]

New Zealand

[@vetteconnoisseur9531]

That 026 is running awesome TinMan! I watched all of your vids on that 026 and feel bad you had to go thru all that trouble. Great dividends tho. That definitely cuts much faster than my 026 red lever. Kudos on the great work Brother.

[@tdawg8605]

Prayers for Buck'en and his family. That clutch sounds like a church bell on Sunday. But it cuts great. Maybe the video but it also sounds like it's idling high. Imo. Nice little saw. I think I figured out my stubborn 272xp. I'll let you know the out come. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@darylpowell4388]

Looks like that saw will be one great saw to have around. Great job!!🎉

[@rodneyepp8644]

Thank you,your perseverance is outstanding

[@randymorris8371]

Looks like a great lil fun saw to operate, good build Tinman! Good seeing you at Bunyan, hope you and your family are doing well. Thoughts and prayers to Buckin and family

[@EdKeen-sr5xs]

Today I split & stack then sharpen saw thanks for sharing ❤

[@christalbott8446]

Wood splitter looks an sounds great! Hearts out to Buckin!!!!

[@johnclarke8180]

Great job Tinman! We appreciate it!!

[@jeffdillard8789]

Nice job Tinman I am impressed. 50cc she rips

[@stevetheriault4164]

THAT THING SCREAMS BUDDY GREAT JOB MAN👍👍

[@McStunkerson]

Great vid!…….. 026’s have a poorly designed choke system imo….. great saw otherwise …..I bet if you put a boot through the handle and “hold” the choke down hard it’ll start in three pulls…….. the choke in the air filter does not seal properly imo. Also I run 3/8’s cause all my other saws are and the 26 handles it fine

[@JohnBrunner-ym6qj]

So glad I got to meet you at Bunyan good times stoked to see her in the wood

[@tinmanssaws]

Bunyan was a blast!! So glad all you folks came to say hi. .makes a fella feel good.

[@HawtSawz86]

It sounds very good, thanks for making the video ❤

[@RobBot34]

that thing cuts like a champ, its gonna make someone really happy.

[@justincredible7168]

Good running saw. Man that thing was a struggle!

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

Runs like a beast, I was waiting for that last cutting test, and it worked perfect. Chain is razor charp. I have to teach myself to sharpen the chain like that. :)

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

Really nice work on that saw

[@mattw5729]

Very nice, thank you Sir.

[@easymoneyism]

Built a nice ripper man!!

[@bryanmeier272xp8]

did a great job on that 026 that bad boy running as good a ms290 i know my 026 dont run like that

[@joshshumka8913]

Way to persevere tinman! The 026 is a ripper

[@tomintexas817]

Tinman I got my 026av is done too 😅 and my ms200t ported too 😅 And prayers for buckin' losin' dad is the worst 😢

[@alexbarna9098]

Wow! Love it.

[@MikeFerguson-yq2jh]

The saw sounds good!

[@aaronpowell4885]

Small but mighty!

[@Bigfoot_fixes_all]

That thing rips ut is a rocket through that hard ash awsome saw build

[@brendosghanasenditsaws]

Awww yeahhhh the wait is over🙌 hope mine goes as good👌

[@russmontiethii863]

Running good!

[@davidcarberry3547]

and it's light and you can cut a load of wood in no time , most of my stihl's are 4 or 5 pull cold

[@vanman3752]

That sucker cuts nice once you get it started.

[@CoryHorton836]

damn fine cutter.

[@gamer4615]

Nice work sounds good

[@rise_above]

Great saw and a great day to cut.

[@sinisterstitchescustomupho1817]

That’s my favorite saw to climb with besides my 200t. I always hated it when I had to pull up to 038 Magnum. Don’t give me wrong. I love my 038, probably my favorite on the ground, but it sucks hanging off your waist or trying to wrestle it around in a tree.

[@tinmanssaws]

038s are on the heavy side for sure.

[@ronkolb1335]

Nice responsive chainsaw with a sharp chain.

[@gunterbecker8528]

She's fiery

[@billhacks]

That is one awesome saw! It's going to be a sweet firewood saw. What size of file is that?

[@tinmanssaws]

3/16 if I remember correctly

[@byronroubanes1617]

Looks and Sounds great! Cuts great too! Is DGP in there too?

[@tinmanssaws]

Yep dgp is all I run now

[@ramtruck2011able]

That's how my 026 runs. Mean

[@Timberjack.loggers]

Snappy little saw

[@thesickhorseranch]

Great job Tinman! I ran an 026 professionally for about a year cutting right of way. What you've built here is pretty rad to see! That thing does NOT want to bog down, very impressive!

[@tinmanssaws]

It's pretty torqy for sure.

[@Righound4]

Sounds nice👌

[@ronaldwood9911]

That 026 is just camera shy

[@tinmanssaws]

Lol yep

[@justinsantapole7507]

Great running saw. would be a great saw too take up a tree

[@williamsundermeyer7379]

I jb welded a 372 air filter to stock 26 filter opened carb diameter with round file advanced ignition 1/2 a key width She rips now airfilter sucks on the older saws..

[@mikewhitt8716]

She's a Ripper, Tin

[@zacharygross460]

Runs good buddy

[@JohnBrunner-ym6qj]

That thing looks like it cuts great

[@JohnBrunner-ym6qj]

Very nice man

[@shapeshifter7753]

Good push friend 💪 I would’ve givn up on it long ago. Curious if ya put a new air filter on?

[@tinmanssaws]

No new filter yet

[@shapeshifter7753]

K. Thanks for your reply and for sharing this struggle. I was super curious if it would help with start up. That’s the main issue with my 028.

[@sizemoretreeworks]

That thing is spicy 🔥

[@gregritter5883]

Hey tin man back left last winter when it was colder you were doing some testing on some borrow oil that you highly recommended for both winter and summer. What was the name of that borrow?

[@tinmanssaws]

DGP oil

[@gregritter5883]

Thank you I figured that out about 20 minutes after I sent it you came up with that case of it on the tailgate of the truck and how it all that was convenient. I’m gonna get a gallon of it and give it a try.

[@mrj7872]

I like it ❤

[@codysmith3321]

She cuts eh? Looks like a great running machine!

[@tony42hajdu]

Hi experts, why does he pulls starter rope little bit when killing the saw?

[@nospam3409]

Just going to touch it up a few strokes - proceeds to put 15 strokes on each tooth.

[@clarencetrice4442]

😊😊 HI TINMAN that's not uncommon that chain may be case hard even though U have a good file it may still take a brand new file 2 sharpen it and most chainsaw files aren't any good no more either after U Ave sharpen the chain 🔗 4 times and the file is getting slick its no good at all the chain won't keep a edge on it or stay sharp either and when the chain gets down 2 only a bit of teeth left 👈 😮 it's no good either then time ⌚ 😊 4 a new chain 🔗 😊 U will see the difference from day and night 🌃 😊 OMG 1O 16 2O24
