2017 MMWS GTG Box Saw Build Off Rules

[Mastermind]

I'm just speaking from what some have said off forum. And when a guy who can file a great race chain says he needs to start now, 7-8 months out... That's intimidating!

Rofl! Yup that's me!! I'm a scared...[emoji51]

 

[Onan18]

I'm gonna stick with Class 2. I'm a firm believer that a guy needs to do one thing......and try to do it well. So I plan to lose well.

Me too, I just want my saw to fly apart right as I am coming out of the cut. Honestly my money is on your grandson.

 

[mdavlee]

Mike, that was a compliment! [emoji6]

It's not that bad. I've got 5 60dl and 2 72 done already. Need to do a 76 and 91 or so and the 105. I figure it will take a week or 3 to get my saw done the way I want it.

 

[D B Cooper]

where do we get these saw in a box at?
I would like to try and build one.

Contact @gentlemen
The order was placed but he was ordering extras.

Looking forward to this if I'm not too late on the group buy.

Edit: contacted @Gentleman and I'm in. Did I miss where and when the GTG is? I just went through the entire thread and I either missed it or it's private. Hopefully it's during motorcycle season so I can scoot down there on the bike with a saw strapped on the back. Toothchipper and I have ridden motorcycles together for about 34 years now. I'll see if he can break free on the bike and join me. Anybody gonna camp out somewhere near there?

Thinking about class 1 which means I don't really need to think too much through or maybe class 2. Done a lot of wrenching on motorcycles, dirtbikes, airplanes, cars, etc. Only done some work on chainsaws (top end OH and other little things) so this will be a fun learning for me. The GTG sure sounds like it will be a fun/funny time even if my saw doesn't run. Anytime we can see an engine blow apart is fun right? Even more fun/funny when it's someone elses

I knew I should have ordered extras so I would have something to scalp...

So, I'm new to OPE. I just found this forum, thanks to Randy. I've got a saw in the mail from him as we speak. It's not a true worked over MMSW saw, but it's been tuned an tweaked by him to keep me cutting for good long while (I hope).

I just came across all this tonight and would love to get in on this. I'll contact Gentleman and see if there are any left.

I've never taken a file or grinder to a cylinder yet, and I've only had one chainsaw top end apart before. But I'm pretty good with a wrench and have been playing with cars, trucks and bikes for many years now. Hope I can get a kit and at least get it running! How much I do past that will depend on how much learn'n I can do between now and then.

Thanks for putting this all together, and whether I get a kit or not, I'm planning on gong to the GTG. I have 3 little one from 4 down to 2 months, so as long as life cooperates, I'll be there!

Welcome to OPE sir.

 

[penzone]

Welcome to OPE sir.

Thank you sir. I've been reading a lot and trying to learn as much as possible.

Looks like I'll be able to get a kit! So I'll be starting a build thread once I get it all in. Has there been a section set aside for these builds? I thought I read a mention of that earlier.

 

[Mastermind]

We haven't set up a build thread section yet.

Glad you made it......

The fun in it to me isn't building another boring work saw,it's building the same exact saw as everyone else but trying to do it better than them with the same parts.

If my chain is 10 times better and I win how is that a saw build off?

I like class 2,everyone has the same stuff and that will tell you who built the stronger saw that particular day.

if thats a movie , i want the title

Well put. Kinda what I was trying to say.

But it seems like class 3 will keep a lot of guys happy, which is a good thing.

 

[drf256]

I've gots a secret weapon near me for a chain if I decide to go class III.

He's called Kevin @Moparmyway

 

[Stump Shot]

I agree about the chain deal in class three. Thinking about the rules it does say any chain you want, so I may just want to run the stock chain like one and two in three to be sporting.

Life made in 1999

The other point of any chain is would you build a 2k HP drag car and make them run stock tires?
