Tim - The bee and honey busyness is in full swing now... my 41st year with the bees. That and getting the last of the garden in is keeping me tied-up pretty well in summertime, like always. I do manage a few hours with the saws. Pm me with your address and email and I'll tell ya how to get some honey...
Cliff - maybe you need to sprinkle it with a little Jim Beam... :hmm3grin2orange:
Don't want to dis-rail mweba's thread... I have a Sears G44, too, but haven't tried to cut any wood with it, yet. Your saw looks good. Some parts of the design remind me of some of the 10-series Macs. Maybe Roper looked over the Mac saws when they were designing it...
Good old gear-drives!!
