Just found you tonight. You are the first to explain something I have wanted to do in detailed yet simple instructions and with the part #’s too. I never used a chainsaw until I inherited my family’s Century farm of 300 wooded acres at age 40. I still have all my fingers 😁. Never had the time to think about carving until 4 years ago. I don’t know any wood carvers personally to help this old gal that wants to try carving on some logs I’ve set aside that a Dremel is too small for. I’ve learned 2 things from this one video. Never too old to learn.
I have 2 they are cheap and awesome for small carvings and detail. I made the mistake of running my .043 chain through oak and ripped all the teeth off 🤣
Thanks Kyle. Giving part numbers do help when doing instructional videos. Great video. I would like to know where to get a 8” bar for the stihl as stihl only makes 12”. As small as they make. Any help appreciated.
Thanks Kyle, just the info I was looking for actually. I need to know if this chain is suitable for harder woods as this topic needs to be tested, it hasn't been thoroughly described, plus is there a more solid chain if needed ? Grateful for any feedback please.
Hey Ray once I finish the 4 part tutorial series I’m working on I will talk about carving different wood with this set up and maybe carve a couple different species
You’d solve a huge answer for me if you could let me know if any stihl, corded (electric, but not battery) saws will take that sized sprocket and a dime tipped bar. I cannot seem to get answers on it anywhere, including my local stihl dealer.
Hey Kyle I've been using the 12in. Stihi bar with the 1/4 pitch chain for about a year and I like it a lot . On my MS170 I get oil that comes out of the muffler I think it's because of running it at low rev's have you had that problem . I got a DeWalt battery saw for Christmas I was thinking about putting a carving bar on it I know Jordy did on his . Do you know where I could get a bar for it . Thanks Kyle .
