Are you paulo Villano?
Or something like that?
Someone had told me that he posted a lot on this list.
If so, I think I am the strings you are thinking of.
I never handled a chainsaw though.
Must have got your wires crossed on that one.
Table saws, band saws, compound miters and other assorted wood working tools
though, yes.
I made trains and now am making the old timey pickup trucks and cars.
Glad to hear from you, if you are the person I am thinking of and even if
you're not. hah
Matt
