There is no rhyme or reason to a yardsale. My dad and grandpa are pros and can walk into a knick knack yardsale and walk out with a gun for almost nothing, even if there weren't any for sale. But they personally ask if they have any for sale. I don't have the luck they do usually, but occasionally I do. Some of my good buys are things they bought and I bought from them. But then again, I might go weeks without buying anything.
I found a model number for this one....Thanks, but I knew the model of that one. This is the one I don't know.

Got the EVL saw running today. It need some tuning, but since I wont really ever use it, I guess it's running good enough.
Nice saw collection. I also have a collection of hammers, axes, and other tools with handles. Post some pics of that rack you have yours in, I may need to build something similar.
It's a pretty simple rack made from scraps of wood I had lying around.
Yes she is. Funniest part I we didnt even have any trees at the time. She just knew I wanted one.
, Some Serious You Suckage going on there, I gave my Wife a 445 for Christmas in 2017 (YES, She REALLY Wanted, Her OWN Saw) I was surprised at how well it did, it is a Nice little saw at a Great Price Point.
, I just went back to the beginning of the thread, you have scored some Serious yard sale finds, you could start an "I Suck" thread of your own
, He traded it off to a Friend, before I knew he wasn't going to keep it. The Friend passed away several years ago, and his Widow remarried, I keep Hoping to cross paths with her, but no one that knew them can come up with a current phone # for Bonnie.
What's funny is, it was a community yardsale thatbhadnt even started yet. On Friday night, they open it for the people who live in the gated area. Well I know someone to let me in that night. I almost passed up the yardsale because he usually has really high priced antiques every year but saw the glow of orange.The 445 for $30, DEFINITELY Qualifies for the "You Suck" Thread
I Wish that I would have some yard sale finds like that

, it was all down hill from there, little did I know, that would lead to CSMAD, Egads, some have mentioned bandsaw mills, but I don't have the room, at the house, or in the Budget for that.( But then, I Never suspected, or even heard of, CAD being a future issue) There is also the issue of Neighborhood Harmony, that a Band Mill, MIGHT Threaten
What is CSMAD and is there a way to prevent it? I already have so many other addictions!Yep, You qualify for your very own "I Suck" Thread"
You definitely have had some Great Finds, I'm Sure the reason that Pro Huskies are so hard to find, is once someone gets one, they don't sell them
I've had my first Husky, my "Ol' Reliable" 266XP since about '91, Still a work horse saw, one I'll never part with, got the 23 Compact, a little Top Handle a bit later, still have it too.
Then I found AS, and nobody warned me about CAD
Doug
Well dang. I have been trying to talk my wife into a bandsaw mill for the past year.FF, you may be familiar with CAD (Chainsaw Addiction Disorder, AKA, Chainsaw Acquisition Disease, Your Choice of definition), Well CSMAD (Chain Saw Milling Addiction Disorder) is an Extension of CAD, it is Everything that CAD is, But MORE, On STEROIDS
With CSMAD, you Stihl get all the CAD idiosyncrasies, but add more choices in chain, Mills, Aux Oilers and So Much More, if you thought that CAD could Threaten a Solid Marriage, you ain't seen Nothin until you've risked that same solid marriage with CSMAD
Enter CSM'ing at your own risk, and consider yourself WARNED
Doug
, Some are more susceptible than others, and exposure to Chainsaws definitely increases the risk of CSMAD, That you are a member of a site like AS, shows a much Exaggerated Risk Factor for CSMAD. Seriously, other than Jack and Tiger, who could take GOLF Seriously??
