Never measured. Six foot one. Divide that in half.

And of course the MS 462. Because, even in its untested first form, it is going to be the BEST!!

I only get what I like to run for everything. I tried saws that were smaller for one industry but then I have to give them away to a nice home when I don't go back or there's the fear of just becoming a Zoo Keeper. There is a lot of responsibility that goes with them.
They need a lot of attention. I just can't keep them caged.

I'm ok with keeping them caged. At least for now. Yes, I know they deteriorate a bit if they're not used (rubber gets brittle, etc), but it's not irreversible, so I'm not losing any sleep over it. At least not yet.

Thanks

I’m not sure what you’ll do with the other 9.

I like your list; great saws and doubling up makes a lot of sense, but I would certainly want some 6 cube saws in there, too!

I look at that and think why would you need a 361. That's that odd size in the middle where that saw by it self is good for a lot but with bigger and smaller saws it seems like it would never get used. Just my 2 cents.

I'm definitely going to get one. Seems to be a fairly desirable saw; well regarded by the folks who have one.

 

[bulletpruf]

Either way that list had it all covered. An 024 would fit in but would it get used? I think about buying one a lot but would probably never use it.

Have been looking for the right deal on an 024. Agree that it might not get a lot of use, but I'm ok with that.

Thanks

041G to go with the 090G you need

I'm familiar with the 090G's, but are the 041G's more or less common? I haven't paid much attention to these.

Minty 051 there a old brute of a saw most over look. There also difficult to find in really nice condition.

I love me an 051. I have a few that are being reborn as 111 cc saws.

I kept for getting this was a collector thread: my list was Saws I own & use.

My Bad.

It's actually an apples and oranges comparison/wish list.

The 07, 08, S10, BLK, and BL (if I end up with one) aren't going to do much cutting.

The rest will be expected to earn their keep.

You and I think alike. Having said that, I doubt I'll be able to find a 10 cube 090.

It's personal. It lives in the heart. It's like taking turns dating the 'Swedish twins'. (Inga & Ingrid) that's a partnership. What you have is a "leaky ship".
Any more and it no longer lives in the heart. It would be nothing more than slavery and a pay cheque to me.


"Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed"

I'm just asking you to think about it, that's all. *Smiles*

The 041g isn't what I call common but there's not a lot out there either. There a fairly collectable saw to some. A few pop up on the bay on occasion.

A 10 cube is easy enough to find but to get one in your possession is another thing.

I’ll wait for the MS600.

 

[Country bumpkin]

Yeah. I keep my 051 in the house.....not kidding.

Ain't gonna lie I keep my favorites inside to.

Something about a magnum just does it for me lol I don't own one but an 038 or 056 would be real nice.

I agree! I have a nice 038 Magnum that's coming back together after a full rebuild. And I have a tentative deal struck on a gorgeous 056 Mag with a 36" bar so I can cross that off the wish list...

 

[bulletpruf]

Deal is done on the 056 Magnum.

And have what appears to be a 10mm 044 on the way from Hungary.

Still looking for the rest, but I'm not in a huge hurry.

Thanks

I've taken a bit of an appetite suppressant, and have been selling off a bunch of saws.

I'm thinking a 4 saw plan is a tad bit more reasonable. Already have 'em all, so I guess that's a good start?

020 Super Top Handle. Needs a rebuild, but have sourced some nice NOS bits for it.

026 Pro. Just rebuilt, Meteor piston, muffler mod, quench set at .021, .325 chain with 7 pin rim drive, 18" bar. For the life of me, I can't understand why this little saw has a decomp, but whatever.

038 Magnum. Finishing it up now. 3/8 with 7 pin, 24" and 28" bar. Pic is from several years ago; looks a lot nicer now.

076 Super. Think I have two to choose from; will probably rebuild both and sell one. This will get .404, of course. I have a few 36" bars and believe I have a nice 41" bar, too.
