I went to town 2 days ago and upon leaving I had told my wife I wasn't gonna buy any more saws since the shop is fairly full and things aren't selling too well. I came back with 4 saws, then the conversation got interesting..
Yeah, conversations with my wife get interesting.
Wife: "Why do you need another saw?"
Me: " the ones I have are to small." "I need a small saw there better on fuel" " it's a good deal" "it has a lot of parts I could use on the one I have" "I'd rather your brother not use one of my good saws when he insists on helping"
Maybe there should be a thread on excuses to buy another saw.
I'm going to have to remember that one for when I get back home from school. Little do the parent's know there will be a couple boxes full of saws and saw parts. Parts seem to be easier to justify than entire saws though. Got any ideas?Or you could try mine; "Projects in my garage keep me out of your kitchen". Works every time.
Cold and crab fishingAlaska, Arkansas......
What's the difference?
My first post/thread
What are the best ways to acquire saws to rebuild, part out, or experiment with?
Please explain your success and failures.
I purchased a husqvarna 51 off Craigslist with poor compression and dropped an aftermarket top on it. I have about $110 in it. Saw was beat up but runs well now. Figured I got a fair deal.
I had a husqvarna 359 given to me that needed a carb. New carb and a muffler mod and it's been fabulous. Did well on this one.
Bought a Stihl 180c that was straight gassed for $25 off a friend. Put in a new piston and sold for $100 profit to another friend.

What about the "When I have as many saws as you have pairs of footwear I'll stop " In most cases you should be OK for a whileOr you could try mine; "Projects in my garage keep me out of your kitchen". Works every time.

Make enough time for your wife and treat her better than your hobbies. I know my balance is off when she tells me she wishes she was a hobbies. So a few years ago I decided she was....and it's been the best years!

First of all Welcome to the forum CK0461.Maybe there should be a thread on excuses to buy another saw.
Not gonna work . If you've ever seen a picture of my saws you'd know what I mean lol.Or you could try mine; "Projects in my garage keep me out of your kitchen". Works every time.
Let them know you will be disassembling the whole saws .I'm going to have to remember that one for when I get back home from school. Little do the parent's know there will be a couple boxes full of saws and saw parts. Parts seem to be easier to justify than entire saws though. Got any ideas?
That's not gonna work either, I've got more .What about the "When I have as many saws as you have pairs of footwear I'll stop " In most cases you should be OK for a while
Nope, neither will this, she doesn't wear much . By the way, how much does your wife wear/how many and what kind of saws do you have .Mine is "As long as my 2 cycle collection is worth less than your makeup collection. " I should be good for a long time.
For the win .Make enough time for your wife and treat her better than your hobbies. I know my balance is off when she tells me she wishes she was a hobbies. So a few years ago I decided she was....and it's been the best years!
Oh, and as far as getting saws, just be patient and persistent.
Your a lucky man for sure, just always remember that and you will do well at most everything, because she will have your back and will encourage you all the way.My wife is very understanding. We give each other a lot of crap just for the fun of it. I'm very lucky!!!
