Well that didn't take long...

After feeling content that I had my 3 saw plan finalized.....

Quartering rounds is becoming a reality with me not wanting to pass up scrounges and getting big stuff down to manageable size when the tractor isn't available.

Plus I got all my foreseeable bar lengths covered.

I figured i only needed 2 saws when i started. Now I got 10.

 

[CaseyForrest]

I know a guy like that. Doesn't cut or split near the wood I do but has 12 or so saws....

The real news, and I'm sorta excited and at the same time... Toying with giving up my Surveying job to go work for my Stihl/Stove dealer. Ive known him since he started his business in the back room of a Scag/Toro dealer. He bought that company last year.

 

[svk]

In the same boat. Although I'm tempted to sell all my old saws except for the two with sentimental value plus the EZ. Then port the rest of the "starting lineup".

You even gave them a nice blanket to sit on. And that's about 50 gallons worth of fuel down there - wow!

That's to absorb oil. I loathe errant oil. It has a tendency to get on things I'd rather it not get on.

STIHLS don't leak!!!!.

 

[Babaganoosh]

STIHLS don't leak!!!!.

My 036 begs to differ unfortunately

 

[CaseyForrest]

STIHLS don't leak!!!!.[emoji23]

Mine certainly don't. It's all the residue from use. Tends to drip and drop.

That and it keeps the undersides of the saws from getting scratched up. That absorbent mat goes with the saws when I have to go off site.

I have a touch of OCD.

I'm still on the one saw-two bar plan... requires copious amounts of self-discipline
Well... there is the el-cheap-o pole saw (shrug)

Use??
Those ain't been used... ... they're too shiny.
Even the gas containers are too clean.

Did I mention I have OCD?

I put my saws on an oil absorbent mat not only to absorb the oil, but to keep them from getting scratched.

 

[CaseyForrest]

Sometimes I even repeat myself, repeatedly.

 

[Whitespider]

Did I mention I have OCD?

Yes... you've mentioned that... repeatedly
Too funny.

I have 3 Stihls, all with the glorious tool less caps. Two of the three are dry as a bone. The third on the other hand, leaks like a freakin' seive and has to wear a diaper when not in use.

My Huskies don't Leak. They "Mark" their territory

I started with one very old Homey XL12 if memory serves. Now when I go out never less than 3 and many times it is 5 saws in the truck, all wearing a different bar length.

I always like those math problems. If I use 10 of my saws and then I gave away 10 saws, how may Homelites do I have left?

 

[rarefish383]

I think I just figured out why I was never all that great at math, I count 6 XL12's as one saw, Joe.
