That has to be the best part, boxing it up and sending it off. Brad it looks very professional, all the stuff going with the saw its a thought out project.

what did you end up writing in the letter?
Much thanks goes out to Scooterbum for providing the shipping label. Here's the tracking # if you'd care to follow it. 1Z 24G 2T7 12 9324 6445
Pat,
Greetings from some of the best friends you never knew you had, your friends at arboristsite.com. As you probably know, your brother-in-law Steve is somewhat of a chainsaw nut and he frequents the ArboristSite site where other chainsaw nuts also reside. Well, a little while ago he posted a thread describing the misfortune you encountered with your saw while you were helping out your mother-in-law.
That mishap impacted many AS readers on at least a couple of accounts. First, we hate to hear of saws getting smashed; anytime, anywhere; just cuts us to the heart! Second, we hate to hear of a good guy who takes it in the chops anytime, but especially while doing a good turn for someone else, as in your case.
Short version, many, many AS members decided to do something about turning circumstances around for you in this case, and this saw is a token of our appreciation for what you have been doing and the good guy that you are. Please accept this gift as a token of our esteem for you, and we wish you many happy days of cutting in the future.
Sincerely,
Your friends at arboristsite.com
P.S. – You can read all about the building of this saw at http://arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=105074
Maintenance – Always run at least 89 octane fuel in this saw, as Stihl recommends. I recommend Stihl Ultra at the recommended 50:1 mix ratio. Tune the saw to 14,000-14,500 RPMs @ WOT once warmed up.
very cool,
kinda gives ya that warm fuzzy feeling inside does'nt it !!!!

pinemartin: I think I speak for all of the members here on this, no one had any lack of trust. I loved the idea of accepting your offer to deliver and take pics and video. I'd like to see his face when he opens the box, but circumstances mitigated against that option. I am willing to go with whatever works best. We know you would have done a great job and the offer was and is appreciated. That's my .02 JR

Great job, Brad
Fantastic work, right down to the packaging job. Honestly, just seeing that package all set to go just tickles my heart. I know BIL Pat is gonna be one very surprised dude when the delivery man comes knocking on his door.
A BIG THANKS to everyone here, those who contributed funds or parts or just best wishes with this project. This has been incredibly fun and also an amazingly cool thing that we have done!

Gotta give you some major credit too, Yeller.
Your first reaction to the OP got this ball rolling.
My first reaction was "Were does this punk brother live ? He needs a good 'ol fashioned smart'ning up session in the wood shed."
My second reaction was "Yep. Been there. No good deed goes unpunished/Nice guys finish last."
After reading your post I decided you were right that effort would be better directed toward shoring up the base of good men that do what needs doing.
The next time my widow MIL needs something done I'll probably think of BIL and raise a cold beer (from her 'fridge, of course).
Now...if we all had the bro's cell phone #...........LOL

Sorry guys I am a newbie around here and am not able to get on all that often and am a little late to the game. Just got done reading through the entire thread and this is by far the best group of people/forum I have become a member of. I know I am a bit late to the game here but would be glad to still chip in a little bit via paypal, even if it was just for the time put in by the builder.
Again you all are top notch and have done a really awesome thing here!!
I can't wait to get some news after the delivery, the BIL is going to be blown away.
You guys all rock!!

I just hope the punk brother doesn't "borrow" it and straight gas it. WDO
I doubt he'd be trusted with a chainsaw app. on his I-phone. lol
Edit:
Sure enough, there is one. LOL

I don't have a I-phone, but that is funny. I guess they have a app for everything.
