It would be damn hard to be considered a pro in any field in what three years, other than building a "pro" sized ego. There should be room for all, I have read about the old builders war on here before that did the site no good. Just go over and look at the FF and see how many respected members are making post over there. It's sad in a way, but I see why. It's has started becoming more of BS or Brad Site and if no one agrees with him the big bad Ohio Chainsaw Posse, what ever juvenile name that is jumps on whomever disagrees and drives them off the site or whines to the mods to get after the dissenting member if they break a rule, but they sure as heck don't hesitate to break them when it benefits them. Starting this whole thread is an infraction as far as I'm concerned. If I were in the business, "hobby" or not, I wouldn't be afraid to run anyone. I grew up in the competitive shooting sports, got a big trophy from the national shooting complex at San Antonio, not near as good as I used to be, but I'll still shoot against anyone, lose more than I prolly win anymore but sure as hell won't back down against a good challenge. I once inquired about having a saw ported by Brad, but after seeing some of these post, the missing internal photo's of the "up front" all revealing 372xt build, I'm no longer considering it, way too many questions. He dosen't need my business away. There are plenty of newbs that come on here and get caught by the self promoting vids of "super saws". I prolly know less about saws than most on here, but by golly mine sure as hell aren't used for cutting cookies, they don't look like they come off the shelf, they are tools used to cut wood and a **** load of it. Admittedly I don't do near as much cutting as I used to with the health issues, but up to last winter there have been many 8 and 10 hour days on a saw. Five gallons of mix a week, sure dosen't make me a saw expert or pro, just a damned firewood hack. Admittedly, I would like a saw that would kick my cousin's azz, he's a full time logger, brags on the square ground chain he uses and his silvey grinder, would love to have the 460 ported so I could go have him wonder why it eat his 660.
Got to be off for a while, not running away, wife is having car trouble.
 
yep,the ms460 is a great choice cant go wrong there.:bang:
 
I think everyone voted #2 just because of the noodles. Everyone like noodles. :)
 
The most important question is:

If the saw modders/builders do get together to compare saw performance, will their respective supporters be there wearing cheerleader outfits? ;) :D :laugh:


Someone mentioned Saw Builder Wars (SBW). AS has been through several SBW before, and the end result was lot of valuable AS members leaving AS, some voluntarily and many involuntarily. One builder & his cheerleaders managed to destroy the reputation of another builder, and drive many folks away from AS. The SBW even lead to threats of litigation, or actual litigation (IIRC the details were either kept under wraps, or the related posts were quickly deleted).
 
Yo mother chucker! That can't be the same high reving Brad Snelling 681 in that fi rst vid! You must not have the "lite touch" that Brad does! That saw lost alot of R's in that soft Bass wood with Race chain!

I timed Brad's solo around 2.4 for the fastest cut.
I timed Eric's around a 1.5 fastest cut.


Lol I'm not gonna talk too much **** because it's certainly tough to tell. But if I had to guess I'd say my 681 will take your 79'er in the same wood with the same chain. :)

I could be wrong though cuz ya never know! But I'm still thinkin' I got ya. :D

We'll have to find out one of these days soon for sure. :cheers:

That's hilarious, thanks for the first good laugh of the day. Had to watch it about three times. :laugh:
 
There are only a dozen songs that I don't like by George. Considering how many he has total, that ratio isn't too bad. I have most of his albums but none of the ones he came out with recently.

:cheers:
 
Here you go woodchucker.LOL :D
More smo.

The saw builders are joke.

It could be. Their regular guy (Chi) was in a bad car accident and was in a coma for a long time, and might still be. I hope he gets better. Let that be ANOTHER lesson for not drinking and driving.
 
Deftones is a lot closer to the music I listen to. 5FDP and drowning pool here lately. Three Days Grace is always good.
 
Not nearly as heavy as Deftones but still good music.

3 days grace is okay. A lot of the new "metal" doesn't do it for me. It seems as though they make music for angst ridden 15 and 16 year olds. Not saying it isn't good, just not my current taste.
