That makes me happy to hear that.

Every time I watch them it makes me hanker for a 266.

I'm doing a 272 right now. We'll see if its better then the 266..

 

[Tinman204]

And one more thing, I have another identical 266 (2 months newer then the first one) so I'm going to do the same build again and see if its a fluke or not.

And no theres no machine work in this recipe. I expected to use my lathe but I didn't need to.. Also no timing advance.

Makes a fella think..

Did that fellow ever get his $$$ back after the less than stellar rebuild?

Yes he got a refund.

I'm not going to comment on whether the rebuild was "less then stellar" or not.

 

[svk]

Yes

Good

This thread should be split into one named "conmen and snake oil salesmen".

It would be a busy thread for sure.

Fame and popularity wreck many men. The ego is a tough beast to tame once it becomes large. How many folks have we seen start out (here or elsewhere) as genuine dudes and turn into narcissistic a-holes once they get a following. Or like the dudes who start out doing genuine product reviews and turn into shills because sponsors are giving them a product if they provide a good review whether it is truthful or not.

Secondly it seems that many saw builders start out with good intent then once they get too busy they overextend themselves. Now they are under pressure to complete saws in a timely manner because of what they promised to get the deal so they rush the builds and put out a shoddy product. Or they spend the $ before they do the work and then they stop communicating. Or an outside issue arises and they cannot perform the work.

What a bunch of forum guys!






Danglerstar is unbearable lol. Did you know he wears a toupee? Also in recent months he has dabbled in a lot of non saw related stuff. His coronavirus video was just one big advert for an apocalypse preparation company.

I wonder if he glues his eyebrows on too??

Heres the thing about Youtube, its a cross section of the population no more no less..

Anyone can have a YouTube channel and anyone can scrutinize what they see on YouTube. The main difference between YouTube and tradition media is on Tv they have an entire editing department whose soul goal is to make the person in the show look like they know everything..

Oh and on Tv theres no feedback.

Maybe I'm oldschool but if I see something I disagree with on youtube I just move on with my day..

Lifes too short.

Is it just me or do others notice it too when someone cuts with their modded saw some saws seem slow? Yet other saws seem wicked fast.

 

[Ax-man]

No it is not you . I see it also. Some guys do actually build fast saws while others claim porting and whatnot just don't seem any faster than some of my stock saws with minor muffler mods and a good sharp chain.

Chain has the biggest effect of all in my mind

It also has a lot to do with what the saw is cutting and in what part of the country, red oak in one part may be harder or softer in another. Too many variables unless you have been to that specific region and cut that particular wood.

That is so true.

This time of the year where I live its super super cold. It makes the wood very hard and even loose grained wood like poplar feels like concrete.

I see you significantly edited this after I had responded to you initially.

I’ve got no love for the mob on the other site but from all I’ve gathered from sources I consider to be genuine, less than stellar would be a complement.

The biggest problem other than the coil that was supposed to be fixed, but wasn't, was the low compression. The actual porting while different didn't render the saw inoperable. JMMS was 10 times worse than ol trogan horse.

Not disagreeing with that!

 

[Kensie1988]

I've seen his 390's run and they are definitely nothing to balk at, I also have several saws ported under his direction and they are the strongest saws I've ever run.
