That was my first heavily ported saw Mike.
I gotta get some more of those stickers. I was working on a new design but it never happened.

Ugh....
Please note...
The personal attacks and arguments end here. I'm not taking sides but if the arguing continues the people who would rather argue than help better start packing for camp.

I have an "early" Mastermind saw in my basement. I don't think it was the first but I'll bet it was in the first 10. It shows some very interesting work and, frankly, is freakin' scary when it cuts. Randy was kind enough to share some of his early work with me to give me a hot rod to play with and a place to get some ideas.
Now I have a chance to get some of his "refined" work. I'm in when payday comes.

Wow. Never expected all that....
I really dont have to, as its truly none of your business, but I'll lay it out for ya, and all those "inquring", the best I can.
I would had went under had it not been for the AS drive that the fine folks of the site did for me. I had near $7000 worth of out of pocket medical bills, and am still getting more daily it seems like. Not sure if you have ever recieved 60% of your regular 40hr per week pay, but it aint squat when your used to getting 55-62hrs a week. The dontaions I recieved, tallied nearly to the exact dollar amount I would had made, had I stayed working thru the busy season, or if you look at it the other way, they guys who donated took care of my out of pocket medical expenses. I've said it before, and Ill say it again, without the help of my friends on this site, I would had been in a financial pickle. I am PROUD to call the folks here MY FRIENDS!!!!
As for not posting much, You obviously have never worked 6 days a week on midnights.
But Ive still managed to start 9 threads since my surgery, which is 1 more than you have since 2008... :msp_rolleyes:Space, thanks for taking up for me.
Yes, I really just said that....
And thanks for all the other guys, who know me personally, who took up for me.
Ok, now to the meat and potato's of the thread, helping out a busted up man to hopefully get his life back on track!!
Here is my donation. I built this saw back a year or two ago, and sold it to my good friend who runs the sawmill down the road for a saw to have at home. He hated to use it cause he didnt want to scratch it. LOL So it got two tanks thru it, and I bought it back from him to donate here. When I built it, it got all new bearings, seals and gaskets, all new intake system, from the cylinder to the filter and anything else it needed. It straight gassed very early in life, and had sat for years when I got it. I bought a brand new Closed port piston for it, and it has a low hour cylinder. Yes, it has a closed port 55 top end on it. It's a real strong runner, and if the winner wants, it will be an even stronger runner, as Ill port it if they wish. I will also buy a BRAND NEW B&C, in the new owners choice of pitch and gauge.
Here is a vid, but I warn ya, its got a crappy semi chisel chain on it.

I really got to get me a Mastermind saw!!!
Long boring post. You have been warned!
this is my edited nice one
I love you and appreciate the great hardworking man you are. Not only have you worked your long work hours you completely redid the rental after it was destroyed. All while fixing everyone's small engine issues in western ky. While also keeping up with a crazy wife and three kids.
I am and will always be humbled by what AS did for us. Not sure if you have had emergency neck surgery recently but its gotten a tad bit expensive. I could go into lengthy detail with our finances but I do not believe it is appropriate. I also believe that there is nothing I can say that will change this fat guys mind. But I do know that my man would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it. Giving has never been an issue for him.
That's all.
As of last Wednesday my family started a 40 day blessing challenge. We pick one person per day and bless that person in some way. It's been fun talking with the kids about blessing ideas. Amazing how much better life is when you realize it is more blessed to give.....expecting nothing in return.
Wow babe. I am always impressed with how you handle every situation. Cause let me tell you....my first post sounded nothing like that. this is my edited nice one I love you and appreciate the great hardworking man you are.
