    Poulan pronunciation?

    Go buy a man's saw ? All saws have their place. For some Poulans or other low cost saws make a lot of sense. I have 2 husqvarnas and a poulan I bought new for $79 bucks three years ago. For a small lightweight saw I would NEVER get my moneys worth out of a stihl or husqvarna. I simply...

    Madrona

    ya gotta become one with your wood I not only love to burn it as firewood but turn it on the lathe as well. You need to turn it while it is somewhat wet, then carefully dry it under controlled conditions, (bag it to control humidity) otherwise it will crack apart in the drying process. It...

    Madrona

    Madrone is the premium wood in my area I'm in a mixed conifer forest area. I burn Pine, Oak, Manzanita, Cedar and Mandrone which are all on my property. Madrone is at the top of the quality woods to burn in my area. It burns hot, doesn't pop or crackle, and burns cleaner. Similar to burning...

    got a wood stove and need a saw

    can't go wrong with the 445 I'd go with the refurb 445 in a heartbeat. I agree that ultimately you will want to go with a 2 saw plan. But, leave your self a little time to catch a good case of CAD and you can pick up a bigger saw latter. That way you will have your 2 saw plan in the future...

    Saw envy

    That old Ford Pinto Reminds me of the Pinto I had when I was young and poor but on my own. It would run great until it warmed up then if you turned it off, you could not get it started again until it was cold. I put up with it for months while I worked on it nights and weekends trying to...

    Remanufactured 455's ?

    I'd buy it... I've bought a lot of reconditioned tools Dewalt drill/drivers, carpet cleaners, string/line trimmers, etc. Never had a problem, but saved some good dough !

    Yet another newbie/what to buy thread...

    I have a 455 for 6 years, cut all my wood for heating with it and for a homeowner you will not out grow it unless you catch a case of CAD. Pro saws are great, but unless money is absolutely no option, it is overkill for someone like you or me. Yes they are nice machines and they are great to...

    how is california

    Don't forget the utilities The electric utilities do a lot of work although mostly contracted to Davey and others. Some smaller muni utilities like SMUD in Sacramento have their own tree dept and their crews are utility employed at prevailing wage (or atleast used to be last time I checked)...

    Hourly v.s Salary

    Salary plus commission I agree with a lot of the excellent advice given here, The best in my opinion perhaps is a salary plus commission scenario. You could afford to sign a no compete clause, as you can make money by selling the company services instead of side work. You can also add an...

    372xpw chain width, .050 or .058?

    I beg to differ.... Real, new huskies are on line all the time, from real "brick & mortar" dealers all the time. just check out ebay. I've bought them and can guarantee they are real and from a real dealer. I don't know the dealer agreements or where the loophole in the rules are but...
