    The term "builder " is a misnomer .Lots of people build up saws .Some good ,some not as good . You get a pizzen match going because one saw is 2 tenths of a sec faster than the other guys cutting an 8 by 8 and everybody on some sites gets in the fray .First of all just how many 8 by 8's have...

    It wasn't Brian .I really don't know what happened and anything I would say would be just speculation my part . I didn't really participate much months prior to it's absence from the net . Geeze I even rattled a few cages when I wasn't even trying to with some of them . Pshaw if I'd have put...

    I don't know what happened to Ed but he was having some problems last I heard . Nobody has really said where that forum went to either but the traffic was almost nil for a few months prior to it's disapperance . I do have thoughts on the matter but I won't speculate or elaborate on them .

    Speaking of EHP ,I don't have a clue what's going on with him or that website .:? Anybody that does is not making it public knowledge either .

    I first met Freak a couple of years ago at a GTG at Woodsjunkeys in eastern Ohio . He really don't know much at the time but he hung in there . He hung around and tipped few brews with myself ,Gyp ,big Dave Cliff Helsel and a few more . He at one time had a thing for hopped up Camaros I guess...

    Well,again on that subject I personally think a few builders have gotten carried away building cookie cutters . Too much pressure from this "he said she said " nonsense that a few people have interjected on internet forums . If for example you high port a saw ,it's going to loose some...

    I'm not sure what happens to some of these guys ,again no disrespect intended .It could be that they get overwhelmed with work ,have health problem ,get into some bad habits or any other number of things . Just for example in my own little life in addition to maybe a dozen of my own saws I have...

    Out of respect for the many builders ,both pro and amatuer ,they all seem to fall out of favor for one reason or another .Some is justified while often times it is not . To further elaborate and repeat I've ran saws done by a number of builders but in a GTG environment which is entirely...

    Brian W .aka Timberwolf is a mechanical genius and I say that with most high esteem . Not arogant ,not pushy just knows his stuff like very few others . I've never seen his work but have heard nothing but good reports .I don't think he builds many if any saws for many outside of his family...

    You most likely will get the chance some day . I've ran a few ,never built any real screamers though myself ,just a cut above the average good runner which tickles me just as well .:) Some people cut 8 by 8's and on occasion the real stuff . I on the other hand cut the stuff with bark on it and...

    I'm not being critical of any one of them .I think however a few got caught up in making cookie cutter types because of a few loud mouths and let the good old work saws with grunt go by the wayside .I've ran saws by all those named builders and most had some grunt but a few were prima Donna GTG...
