    Im looking for a saw builder to port and tune my nos 372xp. I live in n illinois would like to meet face to face if possible. Was going to send it to wicked but learning of his wifes problems i dont want to pressure him. Ive been using my bro in laws walker 372 so staying stock isnt an option. Id really like to keep the saw in the states and make a good friend at the same time.Any help would be great

    I heard today that we have one here in Iowa, can't remember the name. Maybe @DexterDay or @MasterMech could clue us in, I think it was one of those guys who mentioned the builder.

    Mitch Weber is in Iowa
    Scott Koontz is in Wisconsin
    Those are neighboring states if you wanting to drive but still could be a far drive, $25 shipping sounds better

    As far as I know, Terry (Wicked Worksaws) is taking work again. He's a member here on the forum (TLandrum) and would be happy to talk his schedule with ya. I have run one of his 372's. :dex::saw:

    Mitch is probably the closest. All of them have a backlog. I talked to Terry yesterday.

    Keep us posted on who you find and what you do. I still have one unmolested saw and options are nice.

    Yes, this is true. Terry is taking work again. You can't go wrong with Wicked Worksaws. You can't go wrong with any of the others mentioned either: Mitch (IA), Scott Kunz (WI), Brad (OH), Randy (TN), Danny Henry (PA).

    Welcome to FHC hardwood! :)

    If you want your avatar turned? I would gladly flip it? Pics from smartphones need to be taken in Landscape mode (with home button to the right) for them to upload properly.
