    Search Scott Kunz or "Treemonkey". Not sure if he's active on FHC or not. He can really make 'em run!

    My link and vid aren't showing, not sure why.

    Redfin and Mastermind both do some outstanding saw work and they are both on our site. :thumbs: I have personally ran saws that both of them had built and they are pretty scary! :dex:But in a good way!

    Mr. Lee is taking a break from saws so that option unfortunately is out.

    Mastermind is a great guy and has done many saws for members here. I beleive several moderators have run his saws and I am pretty sure that MasterMech and DexterDay have owned or own saws by him.

    Still do. Just beware that he usually has a months-long waiting list.

    Maybe he is not the one maybe it's J saws? The guy they say uses used parts, leaves shavings in the saw and has a drug problem?
