Constructing a replica of the chainsaw used in Evil Dead II or Army Of Darkness has become a right of passage for many die hard fans, but certain parts are quite tricky to fabricate without the right knowledge, materials, tools & machinery. This page details various individual parts you can buy, which you can incorporate into your own DIY chainsaw replica project. Further parts & upgraded photos will be added to this page in the next few weeks.
It's expected that you'd start off with an original Homelite XL chainsaw, and while some of the below parts will easily fit into that, others may require modification to the Chainsaw, the part, or both. It is also expected that you have at least some ability and a few rudimentary hand-tools, otherwise you're probably best off buying one of my complete EvilDeadChainsaws. I don't offer instructions with each part, nor do I provide a step-by-step guide on how to make the chainsaw replica itself. If you're really stuck on one point I'll give you some advice, but for the most part it's for you to work out as best you can, using the skills & tools you have available. That's the whole point of making your own chainsaw replica.
All the parts are sold unpainted, although resin parts may be coloured. Where applicable, each part comes with the fixings needed to fit it, using metric M4, M5, M6 & M8 nuts & bolts. If you have any questions, it's best to ask them in advance of placing an order. Any customisation to the parts can be specified when confirming your order.
Side Grill
This part above all the others is probably the hardest to make without the right tools, and the one I get contacted about the most. It's supplied unpainted, cast in uncoloured resin, and would need to be super glued to your original chainsaw.
PRICE - £10 (UK Pounds)
This includes packing, but not shipping charges.

Fake-Engine Plate
While this part will certainly require some work on the original chainsaw body to fit, it really looks good. It's supplied with the various fixings needed, in a black resin. The original chainsaw's sprocket will fit onto this, but the original guide bar won't.
PRICE - £45 (UK Pounds)
This includes packing, but not shipping charges.

'Cabin' Top Handle
Cutting & forming metal isn't easy. Here is the ready made wood/metal top handle, supplied with the fixings needed. The bend-angles for the 'Cabin' & 'Workshed' handles are slightly different, so it might need some slight adjusting depending on your saw.
PRICE - £60 (UK Pounds)
This includes packing, but not shipping charges.

'Medieval' Top Handle
Cutting & forming metal isn't easy. Here is the ready made wood/metal top handle, supplied with the fixings needed. The bend-angles match my lid exactly, so if making your own then it might need some slight adjusting depending on your saw.

Pull-Start Handle
This comes in a natural wood finish and will need painting. It's supplied with a length of black cord which can be fed in and fixed inside the chainsaw, but it should be possible to use the original chainsaw's pull-start cable if that's still in working order.
PRICE - £15 (UK Pounds)
This includes packing, but not shipping charges.

Fuel/Oil Lids
The design of these changed over the years, so while your original Homelite XL chainsaw might look right, the fuel/oil caps may not. This unit will slot into your existing chainsaw body with a little work, and is supplied in red & black resin.
PRICE - £20 (UK Pounds)

'Cabin' Guidebar
While you can simply source this yourself, getting the paint cleanly off a new guide bar really isn't easy as it's made not to come off. This is a new 20" bar, supplied paint-stripped & aged, and with a sharp chain. This will fit the 'Fake' Engine Plate above.
PRICE - £80 (UK Pounds)

'Cabin' Lid
Making one of these from scratch isn't easy. Once the top plastic handle assembly is cut off your original chainsaw, this should fit neatly over the top. It's supplied in a burgundy coloured resin, with pre-drilled holes. The above Top Handle will fit this.

'Cabin' Wristband
I searched for months to find a wristband identical to the screen-used version. The nearest I can get is this real metal pipe-clamp with a vacuum formed plastic sleeve fixed inside. This is supplied pre-drilled, assembled & primer sprayed, but unpainted.
PRICE - £25 (UK Pounds)
