Nobody really wants this guy working on their saws, do they?

Sure do!

Randy has sure been good to me. I would send him another one, but he's done the whole arsenal. Couldn't be happier.

even the 30 ton splitter?!?!

Id like to get randy to port my backpack blower- Stihl br420

Think about it. That is the way history is.

You have to build hundreds and hundreds of bridges before you are known as "the bridge builder", but but the first time you screw just one goat you are instantly labeled "the goat fu........"

No Duane, a recovering addict.

I've been clean for nearly a decade now, but still work my steps, and go to meetings.

I can't tell you how many people I have seen with double digit clean time end up relapsing and dying. For someone like me, one oh **** could be a death sentence.

thats never going to happen to you sir...........we simply won't allow it.

The splitter is one that is plenty fast as is. Just like cutting, One should never split faster than he can think..... if he likes his digits.

We have a couple of monster oaks to process into firewood soon. A fast splitter would be blessing.

Found this thread on accident. Definitely worth digging up. Randy did two saws for me. Both he gave me extra time and parts. Even a 090 piston he cashed in a favor, no extra charge!

The 090av saw became a money pit and I had to sell it once randy fixed it. Ole randy saved me shipping costs back to me, auctioned it off on ebay, shipped it to winner and paypaled me the money. Did not ask for anything in return. By the way, that saw went for over $1200.

Dont care how long the waiting line is for my next saw to be done by him. He has my business.

Never fear.... Me and my Ol' buddy Randy keep a close eye out for each others health and well being. I'd drop anything I was doing if I got the call.

I feel the same. He has done 23 saws for me now. I've waited half a year to get saws back before.... and I would wait longer. He knows he always has my business and he can take care of new/newer customers in front of me. There are many stories like yours about Randy. And Im sure there are many more that have not been shared. Just speaks to the Man he is. I've had a similar experience with a saw that was a money pit, and when I went to pay for the additional work.... he said "let's just chaulk it up to a life lesson" and refused my money. I will never take my business anywhere else, and he knows that. Hell, I wont even buy a saw that has been ported by another builder- just bc of the principle of the matter.

I feel the same way

You guys are making it hard for me to avoid AS.

Thank you guys for the props.

I can't wait till after 10-25 Randy.


Its going to be fun to cut with the stock 7910 for a bit first.

 

[ILikesEmGreen]

Love reading stuff like this. Nice to know there are still good-hearted people out there, and he seems almost like a poster child, er...man for that. Can't wait to have a saw done by Randy. I'm really considering taking my PP455 just across the mountains a few hours and letting him hack at it. Any opinions on that saw being a good candidate? I know they are monsters in their class already.

And lastly, but def not least...Congrats on your journey/recovery Randy. A decade is a loooong time for something like that. Hope for many, many more years of Monkey'n around.

If Randy were to fall off the wagon he'd have people coming from across the country to kick his ass
