He stopped in yesterday and the recovery is going pretty good. He doesn't really look all that bad because his face only has a couple of marks on it. But then he lifted up his shirt and WHOA did he get burned. His discription of his attempt to put it out and then pull his shirt over his head while it was still burning was something I'll never forget. And his "treatment" was also mighty interesting to say the least.

He spent some time looking over the list of all you guys that helped and where you are all from and it really blew his mind. I think the idea that so many people from all over the world would take part in this made much more of an impression on him than any amount of money ever could.

Thanks for the update. It's wonderful that he's doing well. As long as he has friends like you he'll be okay. Thanks for doing this.

Congratulations to all the winners.:greenchainsaw: :greenchainsaw:

Happy birthday STIPES.

Exactly!

This thread has had a little magic in it from the get go, so it's only right that somebody wins something on their birthday. Happy birthday Stipes!

This has been a real good experience for me. The spirit that everyone took hold of to make this happen was pretty moving.

I will be PM'ing the winners to get shipping info for the saws. Scott and Steve were unable to make it down as their shop was too busy, so they will be shipping the Dolmars. One to BloodOnTheIce, and I suppose the other to me since that was won by a local guy, and I'll set it up for him. As much fun as we had, it would have been way better if we could have had all of those old Dolmars here.

Shannon Ryan stopped by for the GTG on Saturday and extends his thanks to all of you. Made quite an impression on him.

Good guy has bad accident and needs your help

I had a few thing to pass along;
I stopped by to see BloodOnTheIce to day at noon to drop off some parts he bought from Spike. I walked in to his Stihl shop and their he was with this BIG SMILE on his face. He tells me that he got his Domar 7900 from Cuttinscott today! Talk about fast shipping! Cuttinscott is the king of shipping, boy that was fast!
I'm going back to see BloodOnTheIce to get a picture of him and his new saw. A very nice looking saw indeed!
I wanted the thank Cuttinscott, 166 ( Steve) and Spike60 for all their time, money efforts in make this event a sucess.

Though I haven't had a chance to cut with it, I see why all of you guys like these 7900's so much.
It feels only marginally heavier than my 361 and feels good in the hands. I have a 24" Oregon bar coming for it tomorrow,
and post more pictures then. It is in even nicer shape than I anticipated, and started right up after about 3 pulls. Here it is sitting in my garage,
it's just itching to cut.
I couldn't be happier with the saw, kudos to all involved.

Looks almost like new with the new side cover installed! I installed a new style (Screen) hood, fuel filter, and a spring limiter on the handle AV mount. Get the new bar & chain on there and run it. It probably hasn't cut any wood since last fall/winter. Scott bought the saw from a customer needing money and was leaving town.

I got to make a few cuts with the 7900 and I LIKE IT ALOT! I've run a few 044/440's and the 7900 would walk all over them.
I'm big guy 5'9" and 260 pounds and with the 24" bar this saw feels nimble and well balanced.
This saw definitely has a permanent place in my wood cutting arsenal, between the 026's, 361 and the 7900 I think I have all my bases covered for my firewood cutting.
I'm a tried but very happy guy.
