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 TRUST

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.
JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN HERE- NOT ON MY WATCH.
COMPLETE DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS
OK WELL ..
..
FIRST .... FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONTACTED ME ...
AND THOSE JUST SPECULATING .....
CHECKING THE OBITUARIES ...
(AND HOPING)
WELL .....
I AM
NOT
DEAD .....
(YET)
I AM MOST OFTEN AWAY ....COMPLETELY OFF THE GRID ...
UNABLE TO EVEN GUESS WHERE I MIGHT BE 7 DAYS IN ADVANCE ....
THUS MY ABSENCE FROM EBAY.
SO .....
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE IS THAT  ....
WITH THIS IN MIND ....
I AM ASKING THAT THE WINNER ....
HOLD OFF PAYING
....
UNTIL I HAVE CONTACTED YOU
PERSONALLY
....
WITH ARRANGEMENTS.
AND CONFIRMING ....
THAT I HAVE NOT SUCCUMBED ....
(CROAKED)
NOW ....
HAVING BEEN COMPLETED SOME TIME AGO AND JUST HANGING AROUND ...
JUST LIVING THE LIFE OF RILEY.
IT'S ABOUT TIME IT GOT A HAIRCUT AND ...
A
REAL
JOB.
NOW ....
I HAVE
NOT EVER
FORGOTTEN THE
GOOD FOLKS, WHO ....
(LIKE ME)
WITH THEIR ROUGH HANDS ....
USE THEIR TOOLS TO ACTUALLY WORK, SO ....
HERE'S ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW:
NOT EVER TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE JEMCO CURTIS .....
"SAW LIKE OBJECTS"
CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED BY THE CROSSCUT SAW COMPANY OF SENECA FALLS, NEW YORK.
WHO SIMPLY BOUGHT CURTIS'S GOOD NAME .... SOMETIME BACK IN THE MID FIFTIES.
THAT WOULD BE THE 1950'S FOR YOU YOUNG FOLKS.
THE TWO SAWS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON.
ZERO.
NOPE.
THIS ONE IS THE ORIGINAL CURTIS SAW COMPANY
No.33 "FAST CUTTER"
PRODUCED IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
FROM A TIME IN HISTORY WHEN ....
AMERICA WAS STILL GREAT
.
PLEASE ......
GO AHEAD AND FUCKIN' "CANCEL" ME ....
I REALLY DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS.
THIS FULL WIDE EXAMPLE HAD NOT EVER EVEN BEEN "FITTED UP" BEFORE ....
NOTING HERE THAT ....
AS WAS COMMON WITH THE PEG AND RAKER SAWS ...
THESE CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE INSTRUCTION THAT ...
THE RAKERS WERE LEFT TO BE FITTED BY THE USER SPECIFICALLY ADAPTED FOR THE WORK INTENDED.
PRIOR
TO USE.
AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL
...
MOST OFTEN OVERLOOKED BY MOST WHO BOUGHT THEM AND HEADED STRAIGHT TO WORK.
WHICH IS THE MAIN REASON THEY CAME TO EARN THEIR REPUTATION AS...
"MISERY WHIPS"
A 5 1/2 FT. (66 INCHES) DOUBLE BUCK IN THE PERFORATED LANCE PATTERN
"CRESCENT" (OR "SEGMENT") GROUND.
A UNIQUE GRINDING TECHNIQUE FOUND ONLY ON THE PREMIUM CROSSCUTS ...
WHICH MAINTAINS A CONSISTENT GAUGE ALONG THE ARC AT THE TOOTHLINE.
WITH A 4 1/8" "SEQUENCE" (DISTANCE BETWEEN RAKER'S) ....
IT IS BEST SUITED IN WORK
NOT LESS THAN
5" IN DIAMETER.
BUT FULLY CAPABLE UP TO 3FT.
NOW SET UP TO RUN IN PRIMARILY GREEN STUFF ...
METICULOUSLY ALIGNED WITH POLISHED WASTE GULLETS ...
WITH .015 SET PER SIDE (ON THE PRECISION SPIDER "MOON" GAUGE) ...
BINDING WILL SIMPLY
NOT
BE AN ISSUE.
FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE
MULTIPLE
FUNCTION OF THE RAKERS ...
THEY ARE HAMMER SWEDGED AT .014" OF CLEARANCE.
WITH NO DIRECTIONAL "LEAD"
CAREFULLY BALANCED AGAINST THE FLATTER ALMOND SHAPED PEGS
PRODUCING A SMOOTH RUNNING SAW WITH A QUITE HEALTHY APPETITE.
THIS ONE IS JUST FLAT OUT EXHILARATING.
NOW .....
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT RUN A BIG CROSSCUT BEFORE ....
I WILL PERSONALLY TAKE YOU THROUGH ALL THE CRITICAL POINTS OF USE,
AND GET YOU ON YOUR WAY.
NOW ....
ONE OF THE THINGS OFTEN OVERLOOKED IS THAT ....
WHEN WORKING WITH THE CROSSCUTS ...
IT ..... AND THE
AX
.... ARE SYMBIOTIC.
LIKE COOKIES AND MILK.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ....
"SWAMPING", BARKING, WEDGING, "LIMBING" ..... ETC.
I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT HEAD INTO THE WOODS WITHOUT ONE.
SO ....
I HAVE LISTED WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE THE PERFECT COMPANION TO THIS SAW:
THE 2 3/4 POUND PLUMB SINGLE BIT, LONG ISLAND "BOY'S" AX.
ENDING 5 MINUTES AFTER THIS SAW.
AND ANOTHER HEAVIER 5LB SINGLE BIT THAT WOULD ALSO SERVE IN ADDITION TO YOUR HEAVY CHOPPING WORK
***** NOTING HERE THAT ....
IF YOU WIN THIS SAW AND EITHER OR BOTH OF THE AXES .... THE AX(S) WILL SHIP WITH THE SAW AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.
AGAIN PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I CONTACT YOU AND HAVE ADJUSTED YOUR INVOICE....
BEFORE
PAYING.
THE SAW INCLUDES THE RUBBER LINED CANVAS TRAIL GUARD WITH VELCRO STRAPS.
AND THE 2 WESTERN STYLE HANDLES.
TRAIL WEIGHT
OF SAW (WITH HANDLES AND CANVAS GUARD) IS
9LB 14OZ
.
HAS BEEN SET UP BY SOMEONE EXPERIENCED 60 YEARS IN THE UNIQUE INTRICACIES OF THE CROSSCUTS....
AS WELL AS ...
OR POSSIBLY EVEN BETTER THAN ....
THE HAND SAWS.
BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
DIDN'T YOU.
