Perfect. Thank you!
Only things left are shirts and the bar bluing, which I can't believe people aren't claiming!!!
Agreed. S Tebo's bars look beautiful. I would've insisted my brother chose that prize but he doesn't share my interest in saws. It would be kind of a waste to blue the bar of a Wild Thing.

Does bluing a bar harden it? I have no idea what the advantage is. I would take a shirt XXL or XL if that works better, but then I will have to lose weight to wear it

Guys, below is the link to the thread that was created on the process. It's where I found out how it's done. It's not a overly complicated or difficult process. It is however a little time consuming if you want nice results and very very messy. I take the time to dress worn rails first too. In a nutshell, it allows you to take nasty old scuffed up bars and make them look awesome again. Most of us have a bunch of nasty looking bars that have lots of useful life left in them. Being a self professed PSP, I just kept hanging them up on the wall and buying new ones. If I would have bought new bars ILO the ones that I reclaimed, at $50- 75 per bar (which is cheap from what I understand), it would have easily cost me $300-450. And that's just for ES, never mind "Light" bars, etc. Some people have suggested that the OEM paint causes the bars to run hotter than bare metal bars. I just like to look of black metal better than bare metal and no more rusting is just a bonus. Before I found this option, I tried high heat paint (white and black). It looks great for the "saw for sale" pictures, but then rubs/scratches right off during the first use. Power coating is nice and durable, but it ain't cheap unless you have your own gear or "know a guy who knows a guy...". I hope this helps-

I picked shirt if/when it gets down to me. Sarah has info.
Big job going on right now, so can't check in as much as I'd like to.
