    Haven't been this excited since, well,I can't remember.

    So, I bought this beater from a shady dude from the site, he sent me a couple dark pictures and told me to trust him.
    So I rolled the dice and gave him my bank account numbers, routing included.
    Luckily, 3 weeks later the saw did show up, it was in a paper sack tied to the top of the mail ladies buggy.
    (She was sick of the gas smell)

    So, after cleaning it up for 5 hours, here it is. Haven't started it but the dude I bought it from says it runs, and he did send me a grainy video.




    As you can imagine, all the above is BS just for laughs. I couldn't be happier with the saw or seller. People like him restore my faith in my fellow man. Now just have to get a bar and chain and get this thing in some wood!!!

    Thanks again DD. I'm afraid this may be the beginning of a " condition" I keep hearing about.

    Are you serious? People are editing videos to make their saws look faster!?! I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to do.

    That was a video I made for RJames to show that this beater really ran. LOL

    The chain was a lo pro chain done by Mr. SquareFile. It's definitely a mean loop.

    Thanks for the kind words friend. I really appreciate it. I hope it serves you well.

    As for the "condition"? All I can say, is good luck!! :dex:

    No sir I don't have any logs at the moment but I'm itchy as haydeez to put it to work. Still working on a bar and chains. I'd have to slap on the 20 incher I got from Jon and I just might next weekend if time allows.

    Guess I could put the 25" from the 044 on it and call it a "piltz hotsaw" :picard:
