Thanks for the advice at the end for small channels on this space like mine. Really trying to stay humble and keep it fun, and i have to say its the guys commenting and the regular subscribers helping out that really make me want to keep making videos, ive been blown away with the positivity and attitude of the majority, which makes it easy to ignore the minority. Thanka for all you do TM!

I had one of my viewers track me down at a tractor show and we had a excellent conversation about all kinds of stuff, it was really nice!

This might sound strange but the fastest best saw I ever built was a shindiawa saw 20 years ago. It is still running today and seems like it can't be killed. It wasn't the most torque but had the highest rpm and cut faster than anything in its size. Thanks for the videos you seem to be doing what you love and it's cool seeing other guys out there doing what we want

Thanks for the tips! I'm building 3 460s this winter

Hey Tinman, I found you via Buckn and you have inspired me to try port my own stuff and have fun. I’m an automotive transmission tech by trade and watching you work on the piston made me think about surface area. You opened up the windows for more airflow but you also increased the surface area of the intake stroke making it draw a little bit more air by volume. I think lol still trying to wrap my head around this stuff. Thank you sir for all you do.

Fun show as always. I watched one of your saws (MS 461) on Buckins channel and it was impressive. Thanks!

8:07 wow, nice work TinMan. Just put a new piston, crank, cylinder into a Farmertec 660, wish I would have watched this first. The Algorithm unsubscribed me.

[careysoutherland]

id like to see you go back to that echo that went wrong with a new cylinder one day and see what you come up with now.

[walkerscountrylife]

4:10 and the music kicks in and I'm like woah Tinman, you're blowing my mind! Good to hear some new things man 🤘 I sent you an email by the way.. but then again I'm sure about 1000 other people did too! Loving your work!

[jrhome]

Can we please get a view of it running and in action after your work to help everyone get an idea of what to expect when it comes to the use of the build? Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge and the way you take your time to show the work being done🙏

[gregbrown]

I'm going to be doing it to the 460 I'm working on wish me luck and thanks this should help a lot

[griffinphilemon]

I've had good luck with smoothing the inside ridge to the outer edge of the piston, making nice ramps out to the windows. I've taken around 10 grams out of a piston with no vibration difference, at least anything noticeable. Definitely have noticed more torque and more "crack" on the throttle. Take it easy, buddy!

Nice video. I saw a comment asking if you are running one or two rings and you said probably one. Didn't know you could run one run on a two ring piston. Top or bottom on the ring?

It is very enjoyable to watch your channel. I have tinkered with saws for a long time but not with the confidence that your content has provided. I don't even own a stihl (yet) and I still watch your videos on them. The information is almost always transferable to other brands.

One day we will bump into each other and share some stories I'm sure. Until then appreciate all your efforts and knowledge. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

You should heat treat the piston tinman!!
