I have not had the opportunity to use it in that way since then. I am usually using equipment that belongs to one of my volunteer groups.
It still seems like a good value, for the price and quality of construction. My biggest peeve about it is that the edge was hardly sharpened at all, and will take some work to use for chopping as well as for wedge driving.
Personally, I have enjoyed finding 'excuses' to visit vendors like Bailey's, Madsen's, etc., when anywhere 'in the neighborhood'. I like to have that picture in my mind, when ordering from them. Plus it is fun and interesting.
I have also enjoyed dropping by the retail saw shops of other A.S. sponsors and members if I 'know' of them online, and plan on being in, or passing through, the area.
