How could it not be fun? Were not all the other build offs fun? I really dont understand. Scott put out a friendly open challenge. And no one wants to accept? That tells me a lot!

Of course! I knew you were a scrapper Brad! Scott will do any build off. But this build off would be much more fun and allow so many others to compete. No ones gonna spend all that money to do a full race saw build..........Its just too exspensive IMO.
.....but Im sure if thats what it takes Scott will. Dudes got mad skills.......and YES, he can build as good a chain as he can a saw.....
Thats all Im gonna say about it fellas. All Scott is tryin to do is make a 390xp build off challenge.

True - but it wasn't I who suggested that Eric, Scott, and Will all build saws against eachother. Scott did.
And I was just answering Paul - he suggested that "Scott's saw beat Eric's". I spoke why I didn't see the build off as a race, which is why things shouldn't be measured so closely and things should just be kept fun. I didn't mention the fun part until now - I appreciate your post to me though because it made me elaborate a bit more on my response to Paul. If they're gonna build saws "against eachother" - they might as well at least make them GTG saws with some sweet chains to see who can do what. But if they end up not having any kind of build off I don't really care.
And don't take my response as attitude - I'm just trynna explain my answer so I don't look like a prick if I ended up making myself look like one in the first place.
I know it looks like it, but I didn't mean to be singling you out. I'm just commenting on the whole concept. I realize the work saw buildoff borders on this, but isn't as targeted as this one seems to be taking shape to be. BTW, there's a lot more to loose in these buildoffs than there is to win.

Dam I get sick, lay on the couch for 2 days and miss this thread.
I'll be honest, I was surprised to see my name on the list. Do I have a target on my back? There is a reason I've never been or become a "builder" I mean someone who builds saws for others for a fee, I've never cared for the politics of it, and the wars that seem to go with it. I've only ever build two saws for someone here, and it was for the 460 build off, Rick aka riverrat, donated a saw for me to do, and a 357 for JJ which was part of a trade, never had any money change hands.
Problem is for me to join in any build off, I have to ship saws, and it ain't cheap going into the states, just to ship Ricks saw back to him was $55, so that's over $100 right there for me to send a saw. Also don't have much desire to ship away one of my saws. I'd do it for sure if I could go to the GTG.
For a chain build off, you can count me out of that, I've only square filed a few times.

We should just drop this saw hobby chit and start a new fad - crescent wrench GTGs.

Oh, do u mean to the GTG, or right now?
Either way!!!

I'm all in for any kind of build. As long as I can git a saw in plenty of time.

Ok, I have not been to any of these GTG, buildoff, charitycut and whatnot, but I want to and this would be close, I know that is very selfish of the newguy. You have a city of 120,000 people 20 minutes away, yet you are in the middle of nowwhere, with bars a short hike or drive away, a lake, couple campgrounds.
Anyone who did not, check out Scott's thread on his saw shop- very cool place and WAY more than just saws. 'Our saw shop' I think it was.
What size/species wood is correct for this type of event? If I have it in my woods I will bring some wood for cants.

I'm just saying. You're looking allot like one of these lately. Nothing against you, but you might want to tone it down a little. I'm sure Scott can speak for himself.
Did I already say "In Before The Lock"....??
If not - In Before The Lock.

Trust me. As a builder, there's a lot to loose. Enter a saw that doesn't meet expectations, and you know as well as I do that the gang would be all over it, like mud on a hog. Yes, it's fun, but it's a little stressful too.
What it tells me is that most of the audience here isn't into building race saws. That's all.
