I have had the pleasure of having 3 saws done for me by Randy. While I don't any of them anymore I will have another one soon (Randy soon so like a year??? )
Saw #1 A 044 that I won i the @Adirondackstihl raffle a few years back. This saw had been graciously donated by @hseII (Thank you again sir). Before Randy ported the saw we had quite a conversation about what I intended to use the saw for and that I planned on putting a 24" bar on it. Randy completed the work keeping me in the loop all the way along and shipped it to an alternate address in the USA where I had someone pick it up and bring it across the border for me.
I had few occasions to use the saw and it really ate up the chips. me being a relative saw newbie though I was always concerned about keeping the carb adjusted (not that it seemed to need it0 but I didn't want to french it up!!! This saw now lives in New York and at last check the new owner hasn't wiped the smile off his face yet...
Saw #2 A MS660 that Randy ported and donated to the @tree monkey raffles a couple years back. ( Not that I want anyone to need our generousity but when is the next raffle??? ). The process / story goes much like saw #1 but I picked it up myself in Minneapolis last summer. I was giggling like a school girl the first time I fired it up out back in the parking lot of our store.
I didn't really have a need for a saw this large and my friend @Ryan Browne so this now lives with him in Wi.
Saw #3 Realizing that 90cc was more than I needed I entered conversation with Randy about something in the 60cc range. We talked about different options and agreed on a deal that Randy would build me a 562Xp up from a set of cases that he had had repaired and powder coated. Saw was completed as promised, test videos or on his youtube page. I will never forget the PM he sent with the subject line Wow, Just WOW.
This is the part of the story that really tells Randy's character. We'd had a couple conversations about this saw and he knew I wasn't truly happy about it. Nothing wrong with the saw, just I am not a Husky guy. Randy offered to trade the saw back for something else (MS362CM) or he would take it back and sell it for me. Let's just say Randy refused to have an unhappy customer out there.
I can't wait for saw #4. It will be an MS462, unless I get really impatient and want something else instead...
