Think you meant to say “top of the morning to ya” and “have a blessed day wherever you might be on God’s green earth”

You will be better off choosing someone here from the OPE family.
Too many past threads in the main chainsaw forum about fixing bad brake jobs and tales of caution once you step outside the OPE eco system.
Every dollar spent here was well worth it for me. I have yet to have anything go belly up.
That is the sign of due dilligence from the community we have here.

By the time you get through his preliminary screening questions you can have a saw ported by a reputable builder here.

Ahh yes good point. I forgot about how particular he is with choosing his customers

You do great work. I’ve actually got a 2152 I want to send to you for a 346 build after firewood season is over.

That works too. I hear nothing but good things about the porters here on the forum and the good work they do. I have had good purchases here (minor stuff, parts and older saws). My last road trip I made the effort to visit a member here, well worth it!

Yeah flow tricks. He uses very vague lingo to try to keep everything secret. Example: “SS” seems to mean combustion chamber work (squish band).

It’s crazy that nobody has actually popped a jug off one of his saws and posted pics online.
He’s pretty particular who he ports for so take that as you will.

Im thinking that anyone who knows some stuff about saws will fail his preliminary screening questions. My guess is, if he gets the feeling you know too much about saws when he’s talking to you, it’s a red flag for him because he’s assuming you’re going to tear into that saw at some level at some point. But I do find It interesting that in the 20+ years he’s been porting saws, no one on here or any other forum has come across one of his saws in a second hand purchase.
