a little upgrade from my 18" poulan. Will have a stack of wood soon that is guaranteed to impress. The screen is a giant gaff, some consultant spec's a rear projection screen for a regular throw unit. Anyone see the problem(s)? Doesn't matter how good I am at my job, can't fix stupid
Poulan
That's a rough go lol.
Any one I've used dies very quickly
Cant handle a serious day of cutting, you NEEDED an upgrade if you want to get solid work done lol
As for the projector, nope... cant see anything... but I'm a dumb carpenter lolIm not allowed to touch anything that moves or buzzes..
Unless its concrete sliding down the chute

I had a brand new one, used it once and it never cranked again. It found its way to the dump.

I'll get a couple pics up when the wife sends them, before and after. Got it all done. The saw was perfect. No lie though, I hurt. It's been a while since I put in an honest day of decent labor. Food, water and rest. Splitting starts tomorrow god willing
Ended up with a Fuji mini mite 4. I love it! Perfect for my needs.
it's a screen for rear projection. Tons of light shines through it and you loose your image if used as a regular screen. You can even see the millwork behind it lol, the two pillars

Will be some nice wood when you get done. Always found that using a chainsaw file to touch up the chain every tank of gas keeps the saw cutting great and helps keep the engine from getting hot. When cutting all day we had two saws and would let one rest a tank while using the other. Oak is pretty serious wood. Mesquite is pretty tough on a saw also.
Not bad, for me anyway
Three sections remain uncut. One will be a bench for the mother in law, one will end up as our bar top in the basement and I haven't figured out what I'm doing with the third. About 10 feet long and perfectly straight, it'll be something cool someday. Some decent size trees in the mix.

It sprays unthinned latex?
I spray kem aqua plus. It’s a water based pigmented lacquer. It’s a cabinet grade product. Lays down really well. Super easy to spray. Being that my Fuji is a 4 stage hvlp it would probably do well spraying latex but it would definitely be a learning curve for me as it’s a lot thicker than what I’m use to spraying.

I've heard of it. What's it run per gallon? And where do you buy it?
It’s a Sherwin williams product. You can’t just walk in a Sherwin williams and get it though as it’s not kept in stock at most locations. I’m in a big city and had to call corporate to help me find it. I had to tell them that I wanted the kem aqua plus in a surfacer (primer), white semi- gloss and clear in a dull rubbed. Then they looked in their system and told me what store had what on the shelf. I ended up going to two different places to buy all three products. It’s not cheap. It’s around $80 a gallon I believe. I got lucky on my last run and they had a 5 gallon bucket that was a little more than half full of the clear dull rubbed and I got that $120 which worked out to under $40 a gallon.
General finish makes a water base lacquer that I’m told is just like kem aqua plus and it’s a bit cheaper
Best thing about water base is it raises the wood grain. Gives a cool look on table tops

Very cool. This is the one I suggested along with one of the tips. You can switch them out like the big sprayers so I can get latex through it no problem.
Yeah that thing caught my eye a while back. Runs off a dewalt battery. Pretty awesome. Will that thing spray latex? I’d be highly impressed if it does

Yes sir. I painted these cabinets with it.
Finished up sometime around 6 last night. Knocked some covid rust off....
