This is in Russian (text no voice over) so if someone reads Russian and can translate some of the products he is using that would be cool. I translated one, Sodium Hydroxide with my phone when text on a bottle was highlighted. He sure seems to love using a battery to charge parts in a chemical bath. I have no idea why he used a battery connected to a AA battery and a chemical to clean the bar, but you can hear his respirator so it must be nasty. Nice work in the end but man what an odd looking /working saw.

Man that is a funky looking saw. He is using the caustic soda and battery to perform rust removal through electrolysis. That Russian needs evaporust in his life. | |||

Same as fixing an AK, “I hit rifle with shovel, it works fine now”. "Hold my beer.....Watch this". | |||

It looks like he's done a few of these before. Someone should teach him how to properly pack a bearing though. It doesn't look like it cuts very well. | |||

I've seen some odd and heavy chainsaws in my time but that one takes the cake. Very odd chainsaw and chain. For a $199 bucks you could get a 30cc Echo chain saw that would cut that wood at least 3 times faster and would be 3 times lighter. | |||

chain was cleaned using drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide) in a electrolysis solution, followed by a dip in vinegar/water, and then neutralized with baking soda/water “I won't be wronged.

If Bernie made chainsaws..... This is a good reminder of what Soviet technology looked like. I wonder what years these were made? The spark plug looks like the stuff we had in the earlier part of the last century. I suspect later. The bearing in the nose of the bar was something the company my dad worked for developed in the 60's. Earlier models here just slid around the front and had a lot more friction. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I had two conflicting thoughts: 1. Nice work. Impressive restoration. 2. Why? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

What a terrible, clumsy tool. Throwing chips into the work doesn't seem optimum. The chain's way too loose but adjustment won't change much on this POS saw. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I think that bit with the AA battery ("salt battery with zinc case") and the bar was an electro-plating operation rather than cleaning. Depositing a thin layer of zinc on the bar to decrease future rusting. Takes me back to the times I regularly rebuilt small engines using whatever tools I had on hand. My life changed when I got a bench press and no longer had to worry about brinelling the bearings. | |||

If you really like to watch restoration vids, search My Mechanics in Youtube. The guy is phenomenal and seems to have every tool known to man in his shop. Probably has tools that fix tools...

I clicked on this to see what a "Soviet chain saw" looked like. I was not disappointed.  (I also really really want one) Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

This right here. It was a DIY cheap zinc electroplating. The “lol” thread | |||

re: that crack at 3:44 & 3:54: "It's dead Jim"; somehow I missed the repair/replacement but I ain't going back. what a complicated bit of design!

First Paleolithic chainsaw I’ve ever seen. Sure is complex. If it was designed by a committee, they must have used at least one idea from everyone. Da! Never be more than one step away from your sword-Old Greek Wisdom | |||

What's messed up is I can't tell if this thing is from the '30's or the '80's! Both? “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

Designed in the post war years, built until the collapse of the USSR would be my guess. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
