I'll play along..............since it's hypothetical..

Poulan S25-CVA

Homelite Super E-Z AOW

McCulloch PM700

Homelite SXL-925W

McCulloch SP-81

Homelite 2100-S

That's picking from what's already in my working stable (well once I get my 2100-S squared away), and making several PAINFUL (actually impossible) omissions solely for the sake of this thread.


You guys with less than six saws are just plain sick. Freaks I tellya....

Yep. I just went out to the shop to look for something. While I was there I looked around at the saws (those that aren't in other sections of the shop.....) and thought about how I'd be on the floor in a fetal position (mumbling "can't do it.......can't do it) if I had to choose six to keep and send the rest away. Sold a couple recently.............and I'm still in mourning..

Six saws seems like a lot. Most I ever had around here was between 2 and 3 dozen.
Down to about a dozen now and they've been around a while.

There, did it in 4. Not bad, eh?

As been mentioned, this is purely hypothetical. Not too interested in thinning the herd right now.

6 saws, I passed that number in 1984, don't know how I could get back to that total given what I have amassed since. In fact, I just picked up these on my way to my weekly Sunday run this afternoon (but they wouldn't be on the keeper list).

 

[50blues]

Does that only count the number that run? I could remove some spark plugs and still keep the rest, right?

Takes some real will power to get down to six saws....

Just wondering if non runners count in that six....so that way I can keep a few dozen more that I could keep as " parts" until i needed to lie about that 6 thing...

 

[w8ye]

I couldn't do it. It takes 10 chainsaws plus the back ups for full coverage of the whatever situation.

Six saws, running or not.

You are being sent to an island, with nighttime temps in the low 20's, daytime in the upper 60's. Ash, Hickory, Locust and Elm. Some Oak and lots of Maple down near the swamp. You have a good woodstove, but no shelter. The only other people on the island are the Stihl dealer and the Husky dealer. They have any saws in stock, and lots of parts. Unfortunately, you don't have any money. So, mostly, they just stop by every day and watch you work. They chuckle from time to time as they knock back a couple of beers, served by the Swedish Bikini Team, who double as their housekeepers.

Maybe if you get a house built, the team will stop by for a late night snack and a game of checkers. Right now, though, they are giggling at you because you forgot the bar oil. Maybe the Stihl dealer needs some chains sharpened. You do know how to hand file chains, don't you?

Fixed it for you, no charge.:msp_biggrin:

 

[Aaron441]

No. But if I waited til they were both drunk I could tie them to a tree and take their keys to both stores. Then I'd have all the saws. Problem solved.
