Simonized saws.

i for one will say that my hot work saws are not built to last forever. if my saws are getting twice the work done in half the time then it would be safe to say that it will only live half as long. guys pounding out a living with them dont expect them to last as long as a stock saw,but they do expect to get more work out of it in a shorter time.

If your saws are doing twice the work in half the time, I would expect it to last a quarter as long. Sorry, the math geek in my brain jumped out before I could shut him up lol. Cheers.

I think he's well aware of that. Lee has been turning wrenches a long time.

I'll echo this. I might not be an everyday faller, but I tip a lot of wood. I want a saw that's uncorked but still reliable. I don't want to buy a fast cookie cutter that's worn out before the pull rope is.

The capacity to know how to kill trees every day and how to build a saw to do it means a lot. So does the ability to maintain a reputation with a clientele of demanding fallers. What doesn't mean much is bucking some 8" hardwood into 2" cookies in record time in the corner of your yard.

Buying a saw from a guy that builds saws for a living makes a lot of sense. I don't take my truck to a computer programmer to be painted and I don't see an auto mechanic about paving my driveway.

I was told on here a while ago that my ported 372 is slow, but I bet it's still turning gas into noise long after most of the built saws featured on this site are in the landfill.

You are a logical thinker. Thanks for keeping my thread on line. I think Dennis Thebault logging is based in your town. Cheers.

I think I heard Wigglesworth saying he'd like a piece of this action.

Yep. Count me in. I haven't seen the saw yet, but it supposedly has a good top and bottom end, just needs most of the covers. Ill know more when it get's here. Im looking forward to it. I talked to the wife, and I might even deliver it in person.

Cool, the more the guys we have in, the more fun it will be. Cheers.

so 14 372/2171's to compete so far. Cool. Wish I could be there to meet some of you guys. Maybe I should send some Canadian beer back with the saw for you guys? Happy Sunday. Cheers.

No, not Canadian beer!! Please, no!

Just kidding :msp_tongue:. I no longer drink, but from what I hear the American microbreweries that survived turn out some good brews.

Mmmm...an Imperial pint of good stout served at about 55F...mmmm.

Just fly on in and watch in person.

All things being equal, them Canuckistanians do know how to make some fine beers. Also, what we get from there as "imports" is usually weaker than what the locals get. So: I would say "yes" to Canadian beer.

I will put a case in with Doug's 372, cans of course. Maybe Kokanee, made in Creston BC. Throw it on Ice at the GTG. On me guys. Cheers.

A guy named Simon built a nice race saw or two for a friend, I was wondering if they are one in the same. I could get him to run the saw and post the video...
