Lawrence *** EVERY ONE OF MY SAWS IS 100% GUARANTEED TO BE THE SHARPEST BEST PERFORMING SAW YOU WILL OWN - OR I WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY AND ALL SHIPPING CHARGES - PROMPTLY.

STUDY THE MANY PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN FOR THIS PURPOSE AND REMEMBER THAT I WILL ALWAYS SHOW YOU AND DESCRIBE TO YOU EVERYTHING - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. I WILL NOT INTENTIONALLY OMIT A NEGATIVE IF THERE IS ONE THAT I AM AWARE OF ......... YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE "NEGATIVE" IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND BASE YOUR DECISIONS ON THIS. THIS IS HOW I WISH TO KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING ........ WHEN I AM A BUYER. *** YOU CAN TRUST THAT MY AUCTIONS ARE 100% HONEST - MY FRIENDS, ACQUAINTANCES, FAMILY MEMBERS ...... OR EVEN ANY FLAKES .... ARE FORBIDDEN FROM BIDDING IN MY AUCTIONS - (FRUITS AND NUTS ARE O.K.) THIS IS ACTIVELY MONITORED TO ENSURE THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE BIDDING AGAINST ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE A GENUINE INTEREST IN THE ITEM. IT IS A SAD REMINDER OF THE TIMES THAT WE EVEN HAVE TO MENTION THIS .... BUT IT HAS BECOME QUITE EVIDENT THAT SOME SAW SELLERS SEE AN HONEST SAWYER AS JUST ANOTHER SUCKER. HAVING INCORPORATED, FROM DAY ONE ..... A BUSINESS PLAN THAT IS BASED ON DELIBERATE FRAUD .... BY ACTIVELY COORDINATING WITH AN ACCOMPLICE TO PICK EVERY SINGLE BIDDER'S POCKET OF EVERY LAST CENT THROUGH ILLEGAL SHILL BIDDING. AS YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS, ALL OF YOU GOOD SAWYERS HAVE BECOME FRIENDS SO, I CANNOT JUST STAND BY AND ALLOW THIS .... JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN - NOT ON MY WATCH.

IT IS ANOTHER WWII ERA D-8 26" 8 POINT CROSSCUT AND TOGETHER THEY WOULD COMPRISE THE CARPENTER'S BASIC TWO SAW "NEST".
