I thought all filmed testing was to be performed in rotten pine?

Really????

I didn't know those were the rules. Is that just for the saws with crummy top ends or in general?

Very impressive to say the least! Well done sir!

I guess the crummier the saw the crummier the wood? Apples to apples and stuff.

Looks great Randy. Your work is top notch

Well I sold the top end off of this saw. I know right?

The buyer has agreed to report how it performs after he installs it and how it's doing is a few months.

I told him that I wanted him to be completely honest. If it sucks, tell us all that it's a turd.

Some rather punky wood has been observed, but it isn't the norm.

The real issue is that it is totally impossible to establish and enforce any norm at all - wood just isn't "made" to any industry norm....

It's on the shelf.

I want to try a few tricks with the next one. There a huge amount of potential here. Being able to afford to experiment is gonna be a game changer for me I think. :msp_sneaky:

A wise? man once told me that like cream, some turds float to the top... :monkey:












That wasn't directed at anyone - just something random that popped into my head.

Some turds also have a lot less corn kernels than other turds...
