Bone to pick with Mastermind

[HuskStihl]

I typically don't like to engage in this kind of thread, but if you are one of the thousands of people in line to have your saw ported, I felt it was my duty to share my recent experience with Mastermind so you would all know what kind of person you will be dealing with.

Here's the situation. About a year ago Randy ported a saw for me. I sent the saw for some logging training, and it was reported the saw may not have been running right. The saw took a few detours, but wound up back in Jamestown, TN last week. So Randy took it apart and found issues with the carb and coil. At the same time, he reported the cylinder to upgrade it to his newest porting strategy.
Here's the kicker. Do you know what that ****er charged me for reporting the saw and fixing the carb/timing issues? Nothing. I didn't even ask him to redo the port work.
So now I have guilt. To make matters worse, I ran the saw today, and it sprayed chips everywhere. Luckily I was in the woods, or I would have had some major clean up to do. Also, the chips came off the "blade" with such speed that they stung my thigh a little. I'm a pretty tough guy, so I didn't cry, but I did get a bit misty.
Anyway, before trusting your saw to this guy, I wanted y'all to know what kind of man he is. A pretty damn honorable man

Yes, he is a stand up guy. Not many like him now adays. I have had nothing but honest dealings with him. The magic he has done with my saws is honest to goodness magic.

Worth the wait

Oh sure you let this venom fly when he is off at the hippie fest and too tired to defend his actions. I would sell that saw before you end up with a huge callous on your thigh from the roost. Showerguy's wife is still trying to get the chips off her driveway where Randy's saws puked out their mess!

... A pretty damn honorable man...

...Like ALL businessmen should be, but too few are...

Sounds like a terrible saw... I have a Wild Thingy that I will give you on trade.

Sorry to hear about your great experience. . .

I have had nothing but good dealings with him. He has always went above and beyond what he needed to do..

I would expect him to do no less with anyone else.

Every time I send him money he sends me an angry chainsaw, it's just not fair on the trees...

Does it come with a complimentary copy of the Lorax video?

 

[blsnelling]

Sure...pick on the man while he's out of town on vacation!

 

[WVhunter]

Never had him work on a saw for me, but did call him one time with some questions ( on Sunday no less), he seemed like a straight up guy. Took the time to talk with me, and answer all of my questions. I thought that was pretty dang cool!

By the title I thought this was going to be a bashing thread.

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........"
