I Blame this on AS & everyone on here!

[OhioGregg]

A little over a year ago, I owned 1 saw, and was gettin by just fine. Now, since joining this site I have found myself with 10 saws! Well 9, if ya don't count the "Wild Thing" lol.
I have learned a bunch, not only about my beloved Poulans, but others as well. Who knows, might even own a Sthil someday. In this past year, I even started doing some chainsaw milling! I know that would never have happened without this site. The many folks on here, besides being very helpfull, are dern entertaining too! LOL Just wanted to say thanks to the folks that run Arborsite, and all its members, for a very awakening year!

Gregg,

yeahhh i know what you mean.. you search around the net for reviews on saws because youre interested in getting one. inevitably this site crops up in search results.. you join. Somehow after you get your saw (after reading opinions on here.. )you find yourself thinking.." now i need just one more bigger saw and ill be ready for any job". Then you read about people buying project saws /parts saws and fixing them up and next thing you know youre trying it too.

I think this site helped turn me from someone who just wanted reviews on saws into someone who has an interest in them. I guess it is my hobby. Last yr i took down my first tree with my 346xp and i really really enjoyed it. Now i see trees and in my mind im imagining how i would go about felling them! And its this interest and the site which helps fuel the interest which has led to me owning 5 saws now.. i know i cant rationally justify owning them but i dont care!

Thanks for posting your photo of your saws. Everyone loves photos here! regards A

[Rookie1]

Dont look at me I didnt twist your arm. Nice pile of saws though. Keep it up!

 

[blsnelling]

Those are some nice Poulans you've restored! BTW, you're right on track. I've been here nearly 3 years now and have 33 saws, lol. I had one when I joined as well.

They don't die, they multiply.

I came here (and still here) for information and :help: as well.

My wife asked the other day where they keep coming from. :hmm3grin2orange: I tell her it's for me to conduct scientific studies, since it was free no harm. Just don't let her in on the replacement parts expenses.

I understand!! My wife hates all of you!!:hmm3grin2orange:

The herd grows quickly!!!

I can't remember what I was looking for when I found this site and I don't know if I found what I was looking for. I may have gotten side-tracked reading the forum. I started with just one saw and now have two. If it had been better financial times I could only imagine what my collection would be like, judging by my tool and gun collections. Well, there's always next year!

We assume that you are referring to "in-laws"?

They congregate at the family functions in steady numbers at this time.

I was referring to the mechanical devices and tools we utilize for wood working applications.

Exactly! I keep telling myself these poor neglected Parts saws are a bargin!
But the carb kits, fuel & air filters, plugs, etc. add up in a hurry. Not to mention most need a new bar & chain, and any parts that you replace, because you foud a better one. But, they still are a LOT cheaper than what these went for new! I paid nearly $300 with tax on a new 3400 back in 1985.

You're just getting started my friend. I too started on here with 4 saws and now have 20 some that we use. Have 3 that are for show at GTGs and play time. Lost count of whats been through the shop project saws, fixed for a friend saws and fix to resale. Always looking for the next one. It's been an adventure and me and the boy love it more everyday. It's give us something else to do together, Cutting logs and firewood or just showing them off.

I share your sentiments - a really great site with lots of handy information and opinions. I started on here in June this year without a saw of my own, and now have five.

Saws are a great and enjoyable hobby.

Regards,

Chris.
