For me, there is not another saw that comes close to the Solo Twin as far as desirability. It is my Holy Grail. I finally acquired one about 2 1/2 years ago. I proceeded to tear it down, clean it up, and had all everything powder coated. THEN IT SAT....and sat...and sat!!! That was until this week. While laying in bed last week, recovering from surgery, I committed to digging out the parts and getting this thing together while I'm off. I intended to take several days and just do a little each day. But, in typical Brad fashion, I couldn't quit. Twelve hours later, at nearly 7:00 AM, it was done. The way this thing is put together is unlike any other saw I've seen. It wasn't just a matter of putting it together...I had to figure out how it went together. Fortunately, my great friend Rob Yeager was stopping by later that day to check up on me, since I couldn't start it. He was on his way home for viewing the eclipse in TN, headed back to PA. Below, you'll see a video of it running. I've not yet had it in wood, although it's ready.
Here it is when I first received it.
