Very nice

Clint had it and started a thread on his score. Couldnt get it off my mind so I sent him an "intent to buy it" message just "fishin" and he agreed to sell it to me.

So with that 288xp now there, is the 262 gonna get the attention it deserves...? Sure is a fine saw!

Course it is... dont you see the white towel under it?

 

[bryanr2]

You call 'em like you see them. I'm just adding your 288 to my watch list... ya know what I mean?

HA HA..... Ha Ha. You can watch..... from a distance. Ive said it before, but I'll say it again.... I may be buried with that saw. My 288 is completely off limits. I wouldnt let my own brother borrow that saw... I sent a 10mm 044 with him instead.

 

[RedFir Down]

Nicely done Steven!! Im happy to hear that 288 made it to your place!!!

 

[cgraham1]

Well I'm glad the 288 found its way to where it belongs, and you got it for a price that was to your liking... As a friend, I would've passed it on to you at cost... but I guess some people see things a bit differently than me. Oh well, you got your saw and you can move on to the next conquest.

And if you ever sell that 262, I will gladly give you what you paid for it to get it back!

Noted! It's easy to sell saws that I can replace the next day if I have remorse. The saws I am after, in the condition Im after, are harder to find. Which, in turn makes parting with them difficult.

Sorry.
But to not use it is like having a virgin wife on your first anniversary.
Think of the fun you're missing.
I have no guns I don't shoot. Or saws I don't use.
But good score.

I have had 2 saws shipped international via UPS with no dramas ... no denying I was nervous about it tho

That's why he has a nice working copy of each model

Saw will remain as it is. Was bought to preserve it as a Mantle piece.

Well shoot,

that would be akin to having the hottest girl and never taking her,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well you know?

Oh well differing strokes fer different folks.


A wise old man once told me;

"the more you own, the more that owns you"

O' course I've also heard;

"they are only new once"

Nice saw,


and a hearty,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,YOU SUCK!

You got to enjoy them.
A man I knew had some cars like few here have ever seen.
Much less seen run.
He ran them all.
To redline so you could hear them " In Full Song" as he would say.

Thank God I got to hear them.
Sadly you folks never will
The OP has an extra to run so that's fine.

Just sayin.
