You're not the only one...
When I first discovered this site I had two saws. Now I have 6 or seven if you want to count the little electric McCulloch. Not sure how it happened?

wait until you get into having them ported. Since I joined in Dec 2010 I have had 25 saws ported... maybe more, but those are the ones I can think of. And I have 3 or 4 that need doing right now.

Can I have your old Lamborghini when it gets dirty and needs new tires and you are throwing it away? TIA

In three years you've only grown your fleet by 4 1/2 (counting the electric)?
I started with two saws as well. I am a firm believer in Catch& Release CAD. I've probably acquired 50+ saws since joining, but I only kept the ones that were hooked too deep to release (17 saws).

Dont even own a car. We are a "truck" household.
I found this site in the process of repairing a saw and ended up with 2-more in short order.
This must have been a mild reaction, not full blown CAD but more like "saw pox".

I think that I have about thirty at this time and started with two only a year and a half ago, another thirty have left for new cad'ers

I released 10 saws back into the CAD Pond in the last month. Does that make them pollywoods????

It's strange how I grew up around saws, but never carried a lot of interest. I needed a saw years ago after I had moved out on my own from the parents. Dad gave me a beater homie 150 that ran and a 028 super, and said" fix it and its yours". So while searching the web for repairing tips and instructions, I found this Damned place. The spiral to the bottom started
. I have since acquired, and sold countless. Currently I have maybe 13-14 saws of various brand, some running, some not. There is a good few that will never have a new home. So I blame this site mainly. Wouldn't change the out come. She would though.
. As I tell her when she starts dishing the sh*t out, I could be sitting at the local bar for a hobby like most of my friends do. She don't say much after that.

Mine has calmed down a lot recently. Especially after selling 4 saws in one week funded the new rock on her finger.

You will be a lot happier if you pay more attention to wood in her oven and less on rocks on her finger.
