I would'nt dare take on another mans saw, having never did any porting. That said, I'm looking to buy a good 372 or 2171 so I can try my hand. I have access to a machine shop so thats no prob.

I know I can do it, just never have got around to getting into it. If I can find one, and can afford it, I'm in.

jd (grandpatractor) is going to be the saw man for this gig. he knows how to run a saw and i trust his ability to be fair 110%. i want to make all the saws available for members to run after they have been tested and documented. what i would like to do is have everyone that runs the saws vote on there favorite without knowing who built it. maybe we can come up with something for the favorite saws builder. any one have suggestions

That'll be good. I know most of us(but not all) sucked at the square cants, including myself. LOL Its to easy to get in a hurry and try to push to win,,,, especially when you got your own saw in your hands.

You need to get one of the carver's busy and carve out a traveling trophy, that you pass around year to year, that is if the owner of the fastest saw changes.

thats a helluva good idea i have a local as guy here thats a carver and might just do that. im going to send him a pm now

Yeah square cants is a little harder than round wood just cutting down. I did better with other peoples saws than I did my own.
