Fear not, not everyone is crazy about chainsaws like the folks on here. I guess you've read some of the posts and thought these guys are nuts, I agree 100%. The way they carry on you would think they have saws over their bed and a shed full behind the house, totally uncalled for and right down crazy. I own a skill saw, thats all.
All year hobby....

Oh I don't think anyone on here is crazy - I like fooling with saws all year long - just wondered if the rest of you do too. Matt

I know what your saying there. I guess saws could be a good hobby but I never really got much into saws, one would be plenty for me. I do like playing on this site though,hehe

Based on being a regular on AS, I'd say I'm a lot more into my saws during the fall / winter when I'm cutting the next year's firewood. I seem to find myself coming here during that time (I was a lurker 2 years before I joined), then I start fishing and find myself over on a fishing forum for a few months.
But, with 'two track' roads in the woods on my place in Louisiana, I often find a chainsaw in my hands during my 'off season' as well since there is always a tree down somewhere. But if I can push it out of the road with the tractor I'll do that and save the cutting until the fall.
If you've ever run a saw in the woods of the Deep South during the summer you can understand my schedule.

I tinker when the mood strikes..............which is often. From sharpening to the occasional muffler mods for friends!
I'm Not an addict.
I only buy chainsaws I need. I can quite buying and tinkering any time I just do it because I like it.
Year round.Wife's trying to get rustic furniture going. Take out a few trees a year for friends or neighbors, and cut as much fire wood as I can.

I used to race cars too, if'n I go overboard on a chainsaw mod it's much cheaper then putting a rod though the side of a big block chevy (but I'd feel just as bad)

year round
I use my saws year round, every day a lot. Not as much now, there is too much snow on the ground. Logging operations where shut down for a couple weeks here because of too much snow. But all my saws are workers. Except the hot saw I want to build.

Playing with saws is my " idle mind at work ".
