nice saws did ya see the deer in the 3 rd video. john t
I think that you should hang on to that 1020. It seems to be the strongest of the bunch.
Great vids Wildman!! I liked the way the Echo sounded the best, even with the bad B&C.
Hay did anyone catch sasquatch running buy in the background about 17 seconds into this video.lol

Thanks for the vids Rick. Really fun to watch. Another vote here for keeping that 1020. A saw that runs that good shouldn't get passed on, especially since you pretty much created her from scratch. Just a warning, but I'll bet if you sold her, you'd be haunted with her memory for years to come. Don't sell her

The 1020 looks to be stronger than the 2100. Is that the case?
I'm thinking the same thing. That 2100 with a little tuning and a good chain instead of that junk chain will shine. Maybe the 1050 should be the saw on the chopping block
It does appear that way but a true comparison would be running both saws with the same bar and chain. They take the same bar so making the 4 minute swap is simple. I do it all the time at vintage races.
In any event the vids are good.

The 1020 is the saw that you put a lot of time, money, and energy into. If you got rid of it now you'd regret it in a few years. The saws I miss the most are the early big saws that I first built and learned on.
That Echo is danged impressive!!!
It's like my beloved Poulans though, definately not a noodler.

Hey Wildman, I'm really impressed at the consistently thin cookies. I can't make cuts that straight in the middle of a log and you're doing it for all to see. Part of the time it looks like you can see the bar through the wood. Your chain must be really evenly sharpened.
