    Pipe threading help.

    I have to install unions between my new oil tank and the fill and vent piping. Anyone have any suggestions for figuring out the length to cut the nipples? I've tried YouTube, but no luck, surprisingly. I have one 1 1/2" and one 1 1/4" to install. Thanks.

    Your favorite saw.

    Mine is the 394XP/395XP. I've been running a 390XP at work, and was happy with it until I used my 395XP yesterday. There are a lot of great saws out there, but the 394/395 ticks all the boxes for me.

    020T resurrection.

    I'm going to try and get my 020T running. It needs a carb. Has a zama, but I'd like the adjustable Walbro. Any tips on proper part number and best place to buy appreciated. Thanks.

    Helmet for comms.

    Looking for a helmet to use with Sena comms. Most of my coworkers are using the Protos, but it's not really what I'm looking for when doing crane work. I've tried a Petzl, not sure which one, but it doesn't hold the muffs close enough, and doesn't sit on my head right. What are some options? Thanks.

    Electrical outlet question.

    My house has two prong plugs, all my appliances are three prong. Can I replace the old outlets with three prong? I'm using adapters now, which seems a bit sketchy. Thanks.

    Green smoothies.

    Anyone making smoothies, particularly the green variety? It's probably the only way I'm going to eat something like kale.

    Bug and tick repellent.

    Any good stuff out there? I mostly use Off! (Or On!, as I call it). The mosquitoes and deer flys are getting nasty.

    Propane regulator

    I need to replace the auto switching (2x100 pound now) regulator on my house to one that will work for a single 20 pound tank. The one that's on there leaks. It's only hooked to the stove in the kitchen. Wondering if anyone has done this. I think it's two stage, but not sure. Thanks.

    Wordle

    Anyone else hooked? Then my sister got me started on quordle. Four times the fun! I can't link, for some reason, but they are word games.

    Wifi extenders.

    Anyone have experience with setting up a range extender or antenna for internet? There is gigabit fiber at the farmhouse, about 400' from the sawmill. Trying to get internet out there so I'm not isolated all day. No electricity out there, but I could set up a battery and solar panel.

    Measuring tree height.

    Looking for a reasonably accurate way to measure the height to a certain spot on a tree. For example, I need to find where 55' is on a pine tree to see if it has the diameter and knotiness to make a good timber. I have a laser rangefinder that will give inclination. Not sure if I can shoot the...

    Things I wish I knew:

    Why is the floor drain always the highest point of any garage/basement? Why is there always a spoon in the sink perfectly positioned to deflect water right in my face? Why does the microwave keep beeping after I open the door? It knows I opened the door. And I know it knows I opened the door.

    Bars for Husky 395XP.

    I need to get a new bar, or two, for my 395. The Husky/Oregon ones don't last long. Any suggestions on aftermarket bars that hold up well? Thanks.

    Coffee.

    I mostly want it to smell like coffee and taste like sugar. I don't want to fill out a credit application or learn any new words to order it. I'd probably make it at home, but can't be bothered to acquire all the ingredients, paraphernalia, and keep it in date to prevent spoilage of perishable...

    Wood fired pizza oven.

    Building one soon. Anyone here build one? This one will be large and built to run for several hours at temp. We are going to have pizza night, and maybe even wing night at my friend's farm.

    Saw a blurb on Instagram. No specs. Anyone heard anything about it?

    500i air cleaner.

    So, one of the guys where my friend works got a 500 i a couple weeks ago. Today he was blowing out the air cleaner again, so both times I've seen the saw he's got the air filter off. I told him I'd seen him blowing that air filter out more than I've ever blown out my 394/395 filters, which is...

    What cranes do you own/work with?

    Just curious what cranes people own, or what you work with when you hire. A friend runs a Grove 3060 for his company and for rentals.

    Leather working.

    Might as well have all the leather working talk in one place. I'm sure Jim will have his leather out this winter when it hits a -40. :/: I'm thinking about getting some tools to make some sheaths for axes and chisels. Not sure where to start. I'm looking for good stuff, don't need any junk.

    395xp coil.

    My 395 got smashed and the coil wire was damaged. It appears the wires are not replaceable like on the 394. Where's the best place to buy a coil? Thanks. In searching, I found a big bore top end kit for $110. Is this junk, or a scam? Some of the cooling fins got snapped. Not sure if that's...
