Why Chainsaws?

[Hozer]

cut wood to heat home . Amazing how much wood can be got for free and some good old fasioned labor. And its fun.

Fun and good exercise. With me it's guns and saws (more, much more guns than saws).

Some folks do it, but Chainsaw-men really do it.

Some boys Stop for a cold one on the way home at the end of the day. Some stop to do some tree cutting
After a long day I really enjoy a nip and then to the trees with hearing protectors on to cut wood for an hour

I like chainsaws because I remember my dad and grampa cutting firewood with a crosscut saw.

I think everyone ought to try a crosscut saw once. Makes you appreciate almost any chainsaw.

BTW, did you know if you grind a putty knife blade real narrow, they make decent screwdrivers?

I've rebuilt,restored ,operated and collected just about any thing that has an engine,chainsaws are just one small area.Further more I can store more chainsaws in a smaller area than say bulldozers of which I only own four of.I had once thought of restoring WW2 battleships but due to limited funds I gave that up as a lost cause.

Regarding putty knives I only have several hundred,ranging in size from a 16" broadknife to a recycled screwdriver which was converted to a racing model.Although many have suggested that I take my putty knives to a "professional" for enhanced preformance,I have declined,having felt it is better to learn on my own.I feel I am making great strides in my ever searching quest for the ultimate putty knife.

So all in all,in spite of the sceptics who choose to poo poo us non pros regarding putty knife building,someday perhaps I too will be classified or bestowed the title of "putty knife guru",time will tell,I'm sure.

Chainsaw? Because they're faster than an axe and misery whip....a lot easier on the body,too.

Yeah, for those times when you need a 2" wide flathead screwdriver?

Wow, I'm really suprised at amount of replies here! FIVE PAGES?!?!?!?! Thanks a ton.

You guys have some really good replies.

For me, I'm no chainsaw fan, but I am a huge Texas Chainsaw Massacre fan, which is why I bought a Poulan 306, unfortunetly it doesn't run.

Thanks guys.

I see a lotta those 306s on EBAY.. it really shouldn't be a problem to find a donor saw. Pretty good saw in its day... would still be a great firewood saw as long as you're built like Dolph Lundgren.
