Youtube's the Chainsaw guy

[woodgrenade]

Why isn't he a member here? Or is he? Seems like he knows his stuff. Was also one of the first to post about the return of the 440.

Rich Dougan is a great guy, and an awesome asset to the chainsaw world. I think he is a member here, but doesn't hang out on here a lot.

Does anyone know if he does internet sales of used sales other than through ebay? Maybe through calling the shop or so?

Pretty sure he is a member but he does not come around often. He is also on Facebook, if anyone wants to look him up.

Yep, Rich is one of the good guys. He goes by Saw King on ebay sales. If you call his shop plan on buying a saw because he is running a business and doing a pretty good job. I wish I could call some of the knowledgeable people on here that I have only communicated through the keyboard.

The reason I ask is because they flash the shop number on Youtube all of the time. The audience obviously isn't just the Pacific Northwest.

Yep, the audience is Nationwide if not Worldwide. He has some neat stuff for sale.

Rich is great. I've been a customer more than once and will be again.

He posted a whole series on Youtube on porting a 372XPW cylinder, he actually shows you exactly what he does on video.

I like the way he starts the bidding very low.

By all accounts, he's a good guy. I think he's down there near Roseburg, OR.

Rich is not a member here if memory serves me right. He hasn't got the time to answer the typical questions that he would get bombarded with on a chainsaw forum. You can only be asked "how do I mod a 40cc saw" so many times...

He moves a lot of saws and always starts each auction off at .99 cents. He also typically only deals with saws that will make him money. He can probably be credited with the term "muscle saw"... since that is what he always put up on his auctions of the big bruisers in the early days.

There's a member here with the user name thechainsawguy, registered April '06. He doesn't post much, most recently in the Simonizer thread.

thechainsawguy is not the same person. His name is Dave instead of Rich and he lists Vancouver Island as his location

Thanks. I didn't look deep enough.

Yep- Rich is the original muscle saw guru. He started building custom saws when he was still in high school in the late 60's and he's forgotten more about small engines and saws than I'll ever know in my lifetime, and I started working on saws and small engines in 1987.

As noted already, Saw-King and "Thechainsawguy" are two different people. Both are excellent to deal with. Rich refers to himself as the chainsaw guy in his youtube videos because it's a generic term that people can relate with. He's actually a very humble, easy going individual for the most part and does a lot of community outreach and volunteer work here. Him and his wife have served on the school board, they help put together community fundraisers, and they stay active in the church.
