I wouldn't pick my saw builder based on location. FedEx will take your saw wherever it needs to go.

Idaho has a good one. PM if you want info.

Know of a couple in Wash too. But dont have their info and dont know if they do work for others.

Also know a few I wouldnt suggest using.

Jack is a logger and works on saws. He lives in Pacific Northwest. I have not had any work done by him but as mentioned previously, he has a YouTube channel that will give you an idea of who he is. Also, Rich Dougan is in my neck of the woods only about a half hour south of me in Oregon and I can vouch for his work. He is adamant about using only OEM parts. If you want to use aftermarket parts I would highly recommend calling him first.

Jack seems like a good guy but he definitely picks and chooses who he wants to work with as I have found out for myself

Pretty sure he is in Northern California, on the coast, somewhere around Humboldt County.

I strongly believe in Brad, Do your research on builders not based on location.
Saws can be shipped anywhere in the world.

The Bush Weasel is a good one.

Randy Evans has ported several saws for me, and I’ve yet to be disappointed with his work.

I have a degree wheel, pneumatic pencil die grinder, digital calipers etc, and I do all my own work.
I got started by watching buckin Billy Ray, Tin Man, Iron Horse, Walker.
I wouldn't say it's difficult but you definitely need an eye for detail. Remember folks you're working with thousands of an inch.

I work at the biggest employer in Washington State and I have to work with tolerances like this daily at my job.
I just love building chainsaws.

Daniel Urich (Supermodify) is a few miles from Centralia, Wa. has 7 levels of modification, I go with level 5 for power and longevity. Outstanding performance!! He is a timberfaller as well so he stays busy. Ken Dickinson is in Ferndale, he has been porting saws for decades, builds a mean saw, Gordy at WCS is another. The PNW has plenty of outstanding builders, none that I know of are on chainsaw forums.
