Hi Kyle. Not having any luck getting part number for 12” dime tip carving bar .043 gage for Stihl MSA 160. Dealer and distributor couldn’t help.

Great Video Kyle, I would add only 1 thing, and that is a dust mask or respirator to wear when using anything besides the saws. A nose full of fine dust makes for a long sleepless night of not being able to breath well.

excellent delivery, thanks Kyle!

Great video. Very informative can’t wait to carve my first bear. Your detailed information & delivery great love it. Thank you. Keep them coming

thks Kyle great info video im a beginer power carver dremel & fordom saving for a chainsaw in spring

GREAT Video, I have been searching for that exact info, i had already picked the MS170 but I am also getting a Worx electric saw for working inside my garage, you have some great videos with details that beginners really need, Thank You

Awesome video for beginners, I just went through all this with sprocket and chain issues. Thanks man. I learned hard way. This will help people

Thanks for the information and a sequence to acquire the tools.

I Dont Know 😂 Love it

hi kyle. great video. very helpful. i have just started power carving with a dremel after watching you , jordy, just carve rob and others. i watch all your videos and would love to chainsaw carve some day. thanks for your help. keep up the good work and stay safe.

Excellent information! Very helpful!

Great video, thanks. My choice for clearcoat is automotive urethane from a spray gun.

Good job explaining the 1/4 pitch sprockets. I just got into carving, luckily I already got 3 because I burn firewood. But, I can't get a 1/4 pitch for any of the small saws, the husky 435 and t540xp, but I can get a rim sprocket set up for my 455 rancher, but it be nicer to detail with the smaller saws. So definitely make sure you can find a 1/4 pitch sprocket for your saw before you buy the saw.

I'm sure you have the grinder away already, but man I am so grateful for the videos. Just started, and I'm in love with the craft. Hard to find anyone willing to apprentice for, but I'll get it done no matter what. Thanks for the videos!

i love the light on the end of the dewalt grinder i love mine for sure 20v baby extreme.

hi kyle. just subscribed and liked. thanks again. stay safe.

Great info .

Great video very informative 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Been carving a while, started knife then bought a Pfeil midsize set, then a Foredom and a couple HF copies, evolved into power carving (partial) and built up a nice burning pen setup, so I guess I'm going into chainsaw carving backwards, I have a lot of the tools (I've had a couple of usable Husky saws for years), but just bought a HF Jawhorse copy (I consider it to be an essential tool to chainsaw carve, it either belongs with the saws or as a safety item. Secure workhoiding is high on my list for good carving and safe carving. Anyway I just subbed (you're still at 8.06k, been watching you for a while but been lazy) and wish you a rapid trip to 10K. I agree on the Saburrtooth stuff, I have a few pieces and love them all. I have 2 of the 2"d x 3/4"w Buzzouts (Green and Yellow), and a yellow 2"d x1/4"wide 'saw'. These just rock on a Foredom tool, but be careful running them slow, they like to grab and require full attention. My other goto is a yellow 1" cylinder (end cutting version), super for smoothing and gentle shaping. (Edit - one word of advice if anyone is considering the 3/4" wide Buzzouts, they are solid steel and quite heavy and such are like a heavy flywheel. I don't think they would be good at full die grinder speeds and seem at their best about 3000rpm or until you see burning on hard spots. These speeds are nearly full throttle on my Foredom TX square drive, and the Buzzouts work well on my HF flex shaft tools, but with less authority, so they ARE a good match for those tools). If using a die grinder, I'd recommend a speed control or variable speed die grinder and forget air powered die grinders. Hope to try my 1st saw carving soon, need to decide what it's going to be and go looking for wood (I have some land with a lot of unmanaged trees and dead wood, so I should be able to find something to practice on. Thanks for helping get me moving toward opening another door to my hobby.

Is the Stihl MSE 170C electric a good saw to buy for carving. Thanks

Thanks for the video Kyle im surprised you don't have a power file included in here. I love my makita 8902

Instead of chaps could I use my leather apron from when I do forging?

Thank you for taking the time out of you're busy schedule to show me what I need. I have three of the tools you suggested but at this time I can't afford any more and that grinder is one of them. I'm in a fixed income but have a passion to get started. Thanks again for sharing you're wisdom. I subscribed, liked, and shared.

Hi Kyle...I'm over in the United Kingdom been following your carvings. I have a Jaw Horse imported from the States an MS170 fitted with the Cannon dime tip however the MS250 isn't available in the UK...do you know it the original bar, chain and sprocket off my MS170 will go straight onto the MS251 which is available in the UK ? Thanks in advance and keep that instruction coming I'm addicted to carving now 😂

Good video Kyle. I'm ordering my chaps today. I didn't want to look like a Goober wearing them, but I see you, Ryan Cook and Jordy always wearing them..so I guess Chaps are standard. I will be trying to win the DeWalt die grinder and bits. My Metabo is old and wore out.

Thanks for the nice video. I have collected storm wood I want to do some art with, so I am so glad I happened upon you by chance. What do you think of using a lighter weight battery chainsaw, for a woman? (& what size would you recommend?) Also, what about using angle grinder flap disks for the final step. I realize it is a different orientation, but I do have a supply of flap disks for an angle grinder that I've never tried yet. Thanks.

Lot helpful information on wood cravings. Thanks you very much on the video. That would be amazing to win the DIE GRINDER to help start wood craving. Thank you very much for helping me . I watch you all the time

i cant get a sand o flex in the uk ? :(

I would also like to add as some have commented below . Get a dust mask of some kind and a jawhorse! A jawhorse will hold those small carvings securely so you can carve . Also wanna add I see you 👎 person and because of you I appreciate my 👍🏻 people even more so thank you 👎 guy ! And to my 👍🏻 peeps keep being awesome!!😎

Loven it, BUT flip flops or crooks an a chainsaw, turn in your man card.

I'm not really a chainsaw carver, not much of a carver. I just grind away at chunks of wood every now and then. I been lookin to get a die grinder and I just keep lookin at them. Harbor freight, Dewalt, HF, Dew, decisions decisions. You tube won't let me sub twice. Maybe I can un-sub and then re-sub, but I don't think that will increase your numbers so I'll stay as it is.

Do you know? 😮😂😅

Please for the love of God and all that's holy don't buy a Craftsman product.

Is the Stihl MSE 170C a good saw to buy for carving. Thanks
