I'll chime in a bit here because at this stage of the thread there is no way in hell I would ever contemplate getting a Simonised saw.
Customers do demand proof or evidence of the type of work you do Simon, particularly when you offer no significant advantage at this stage over other builders on this site. Problem is that you've come in bragging about how many work saws you have out there and just how good they are yet not once have you really backed it up.
I also run work saws from another saw builder on this site and couldn't be happier. Without any real, solid input from yourself why would I change and give your saws a shot?
Hiding behind your obviously high IQ and witty (read: sarcastic) remarks will not get you extra customers. Maybe you do build good saws or maybe you're just an over qualified little smart arsed brat who "thinks" he's a good saw builder? We've all seen them before. After all this is the modern age where anybody online can blow their own trumpet about how good they are and never feel that they may have to back up their very own hype with hard facts. Also the fact that you're an engineer means diddley squat when it comes to building saws. Remember that you're "modifying" them, not designing them.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now as I'm "semi" confident you know what you're doing and I'm a long way from Canada to chase up and talk to loggers that are using your saws. I'll let other guys here sort that side of things out but you do need to whack a few videos on here to get some cred, otherwise you're just all talk and that won't get any of my business...
By the way, I ran AUSSIE1's home modified 371XP last year with BB kit that was an absolute weapon. This is a guy that mods saws out of pure enjoyment in his back shed yet does an excellent job. He never even bragged about it, he let me do that for him
Maybe you could learn something by that?
Delightful in fact!
