What have you got since joining this site?

[talon1189]

Waaaay too many hangovers......Buurp

 

[aggiewoodbutchr]

I've picked up a few more saws and a shop full chain and accessories.

The best/ worst thing I've learned about is MODIFIED SAWS!!!! I'm hooked! Sent off another one today today to Dean (066). shhhhh- don't tell my wife.

I bought my MS361 late last fall just before I joined this site. It only took a few weeks of reading threads to convince me of just how clever a fellow I am. Of course using it just reinforces the point!

So did I, late 2004, but it was based on the reports on it, here at AS (I followed AS for more than a year, before joining).


It is not my fault that the 361 is so popular here...... :bang:

AS surely is to blame for the 372xpg.....

Eyestrain. Increased carpal tunnel. An absolute rage that I'm still on dialup.And the aquaintance of a group of very diverse and sometimes strange people that I've never met but still consider to be my friends.

Oh, yeah. All that.

Plus a big pile of oak, maple, and pecan boards that I might actually do something with one day.

Something I might end up needing a twelve step program for...:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[BobL]

Before joining this site just under 2 months back I had a 1968 Mac 10-10 with a blunt chain which I used occasionally.

Since then I have
- blown up the 10-10A
- restored a PowerMac 480 given to me in pieces.
- fixed a Homelite 480 given to me by my brother in a non-working state,
- bought a 076AV with a 30" bar (this is the only machine I have forked out cash for)
- made a small (24") Alaskan mill
- made a rig to handle short (up to 5ft long) wierd shaped logs,
- started fixing a not-working baby Stihl 010 given to me by a guy at work on the condition that he never sees it again.
- started work on a 36" Alaskan
- bored my colleagues stupid at work with talk about chainsaws.
- spent way too much time drooling at CS related stuff on line
- booked in for a CS saftey course next month
- had a great time and met some really help people on this site.

Cheers

Lucky acquisitions

I've scored a couple nice chainsaws and sent a couple back to the sellers!! Ebay can be misleading and I've learned to be real careful. You just have to read the fine print over and over. Overall, it's been a real great association with this website.

Quite an addiction! Look at the signature below.
I managed to get by with an ancient Clinton D-15 until I joined the site less than a year ago. Glad I did, that old saw was heavy and ornery. Don't know how a managed as long as I did, didn't know any better. It started with a great buy on an MS440 that I posted about here. I haven't stopped since. The bad part is I don't see any end in the not to distant future.:help:

I haven't bought anything new since coming here. I got my 361 just before joining to replace a 346xp that I burned up by playing with the carb to spite not knowing carb adjustment from Shinola. I now know it from Shinola, but Kiwi still gives me trouble. Amongst the pile of information I have attempted to retain, I learned how to fix the dead 346 and about ported saws. The new 361 found it's way to Big Dave fairly quickly thereafter. Now I am wanting a 7900 but it's back burner to a spray in bed liner for the truck and a decent wood shed.

And to prove it, this is Shinola.

 

[SinglerM]

The chance to meet the cool people here.

I got alot of good advice.
I also got some PPE, some Stihls and a Dolmar.
The worst thing I picked up here is the recurring urge for the next saw.
There is that ever present thought about getting the next saw(361):jawdrop: .
Thanks.
Mitch

 

[HiOctane]

I got an EHP ported 346 and glad of it.

 

[ButcherGY54]

I have gotten the MS360, MS460, and Lil Red Homelite since finding this cursed place!!!

Also modded my Mac and turned it into a little monster. Muffler modded all but the Homelite.
Timber Jack

Before & After AS

Before AS I had narrowed it down to just 3 saws. Gone were the assorted Super 2"s and a nice Poulan 3400. Now things have changed a bit. The after pictures show only the working saws that I am keeping. Most were recently involved in the infamous "6 trees - 14 saws" fun fest and none have been cleaned up for a photo op! The project saws and eBay sales saws are still cluttering the barn/shop!
It may indeed be a sickness/addiction........Bob

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a like new o41super for 100$ I am going to sell the 044 I bought of my neighbor[ the old guy wanted to give it to me] it too was like new I mean owners manual and case and used once or twice. I really like that 041 it has character. The 044 will be sold to a friend that has a use for it. Then I can get the 2171 I always wanted
