My name is Tyler, and I have an addiction...

When I first found this forum at Christmas time ('07) I had just got my eleventh saw.

I have since had to expand my "saw rack"

All of these saws are running.

I have also acquired a number of others saws. Including a Stihl 08!! - I'm looking forward to that one.

These range anywhere from running, to needs a carb kit, to parts.

I have rarely paid for any saws. I have been fortunate to find people who understand collectors like me (and you) do not stand to make money at this hobby. I routinely come home with one or two or a truck load of saws for the cost of a 6 pack or less.

That is a nice start to your collection. We'll see how bad it gets before it gets better!

I do run them, but I have never timed any cuts. Not many of my saws are on an even field with each other, be it due to size, age, or wear.

I can't stand to see tools not being used. I can understand wanting to tinker and restore saws, but I can't understand storing them away like some pack rat to collect dust. I would be selling them and moving on to new projects.

Don't fight it - just try to limit it to one saw a month...

Space, some people like to collect, some don't. I have lots of tools and saws that I don't use much or not at all. Most of them I will not sell.... you will only be able to take them away from my cold dead hands..., so to speak
It's amazing sometimes how people cling on to goods from the past or thier youth.

Those Jonsereds look totally out of place in your collection; they'd fit in much better in my collection . Seriously, nice group of saws!
