Welcome to Lumber Jocks Saw Swap 2014.

All input and advice are welcome to make this a great experience.

We can make saw from kits, repurpose saws, make your own
from different suppliers, and basically have fun making a useful
saw for your shop.

Sign up, details to follow.

This is a skill building and sharing quest. You can post pictures anytime and if you're in
an impasse or want to know how's the best way to do something we'll help
the best we can.

Fellow LJer's may offer Kits and Parts or anything to help make a successful
saw swap. Send me an email so I can put you on the vendor's list.

If anyone would like a specific saw please let me know and we'll
accomodate.

Out of pocket expenses should be around $75.00

My email is: waho6o9@yahoo.com

4 months should be enough time to make a saw
we'll trade October 1st. Send a picture around Sept. 1st.

My Fellow Lumberjocks…In this Trying time where we face unknown enemies both at home and abroad, we must find the inner strength to pull together as one team, and focus blah, blah, blah…

Ah screw it! IF I were elected, I'd be shot the first week after the people hear all my plans for change! LOL!

Think I'll just write in TOF on my ballot…

I think I've already moderated 2 or 3 swaps? Time for fresh blood and new ideas…and another sucker!

:)

Shop-built levels sound cool.

I'm heading back to California for another fire. Since I will probably still be gone when the saw swap occurs, I'll have my saw all packaged up and ready to ship. Assuming I have internet access where I'll be, I'll have the wife mail my saw when the exchange partners are announced. I may be late seeing the saw that someone sends me, but I'm sure it will be well worth waiting for. Good luck and have fun wrapping this up guys.

Now's the time to speak up if you don't see your name. I printed out the addresses
when the participants emailed me so I think everyone that's in is on the list.

A special thanks to those that have an extra saw for the exchange. Thank you Paul
for your consideration and if I missed some one else your efforts are appreciated.
