Have the posts and top beam finished. The black smith shop kit is starting to look more like a kit, less assembly required.

Some cleanup needed though.

You caught me, I'd cut too far so reversed the bar to fill in the mistake.

Proper procedure with a chainsaw is to flip the bar each time you change or the remove the blade, for sharpening or to change it, that way you avoid wearing one side of the bar excessively.

Chainsaws with excessive use, that have not had the bar flipped have a concave profile on the bottom of the bar.

then there is the ones that have been modified with a curved section added to the bar so they cut scallops.
