"slick but obvious" ... so..... not so slick huh? ...more obvious than slick? .... so... just obvious then. gotcha.
So say that. If you have a problem with what I'm saying or doing call me out on it.
To the OP, I don't need another project. I really don't. Someone else here in this thread offered to build this for you for cost of parts + ship. That was a super generous offer. If you are unsure of your ability to build the saw then take that dude up on his offer.
To T Roller. Those cases are junk, likely that muff is junk, air filter cover junk etc. I'll stand by what I said because I meant it...NOT because I was angling. I couldn't care less whether I get some parts out of this or not. Believe me, or not. Up to you. If you don't believe me, just say so. But again, I've done enough of these things to know when its time to call parts junk and get new stuff. This project is totally worth that....and I'm pretty sure sayin so aint a bad thing.
