Playmobil City Fire Department custom rescue demolition/salvage circular saw.

[Bill Blackhurst]

Developed from a stretch of boredom while sitting at my work bench staring at a pile of parts, this is my attempt at 2 Playmobil City Fire Department custom gasoline powered rescue demolition/salvage circular saws. They’re built based on the red, yellow, & grey chain saw series.
I demanded from myself to make the project able to be returned to their original form of a chain saw if so desired in the future. After the disassembly of the chain saws, the ideas came into focus of what procedures had to be done.

1. The squared blade bar needed to accept a Playmobil hydrant plug being named the “pos-E-loc cutting wheel retainer”, with the cutting wheel actually being able to be exchanged like in real life. That was accomplished.

2. The cutting wheel needed to be thick enough to be handled by Playmobil figures for realism purposes. That was accomplished.

3. There had to be a spark shield designed to protect figures from debris danger. That was accomplished.

4. The custom saws can be quickly refitted with its original chain bar as demanded in the design, & that was accomplished.

The design is 50% actual Playmobil parts. The semi circular spark shield is a left over helmet face shield modified to fit as needed. The hydrant plug is its original form. The blade bar is a custom design, & the thick round cut off blade is a dremel tool grinding wheel that I've never had a use for, with a modified enlarged center.

I hope you enjoy my efforts in this project!
Thank you, Bill

Interesting use of parts there Bill.

I just noticed the Bourke's eye shields on the brown haired firefighter's helmet, how did you accomplish these?

[FireChief]

That's awesome, Bill. Very Detailed. Great work! And I like the Bourke shields on the helmet.  If I had to guess, would those be some spare playmobil goggles by any chance?

Cool tools. Although I'm more impressed by the sole attached moustache and the eyes shield ...

That moustache is really clever too, Bill.

bill, i must admit, the moustache is my favorite part as well, probably because i do not know enough about the equipment to appreciate the accuracy and detail.
