You know you have CAD when......

[ANewSawyer]

Or browsing the tradin' post looking for a saw you don't need cause you don't feel like it is christmas until you get a piece of power equipment.

Nice job, that's about how my Craftsman 2.3 looked when I got it from my neighbor. He didn't even recognize it when I showed it to him all cleaned up and wearing a new bar.

Or when you have so many saws that the completely cover your shop and you can't move your cutting torch from one end of the shop to the other

When someone mentions the word "chainsaw" and your wife/girlfriend/kids/other friends, roll their eyes and start looking for an exit.

When you can't remember if you already put a new carb kit in it.

You beat me to that post. I never had luck with those. I had a good one once that I fixed the recoil and put back together got running real nice then when I went to put a bar on it I noticed that post that holds the bar groove on was snapped off. It was probably being used at the chainsaw toss at a GTG.

When you convert your 3 car garage into a chainsaw display area and you have to blow snow and scrape ice off your windshield before you head to town because your vehicle's now set outside.

I actively collected saws for almost 10 years. I slowly put together a collection of about 17 runners. Moving, work, family and other hobbies slowed my CAD and I spent about 7 years "on the wagon" and didn't tinker with saws much at all. Then a craigslist add for a dead saw caught my eye... in last two months I've added 4 more to my collection and spent countless hours tinkering with saws, old and new. CAD has gotten its claws into me again.

so true!

When you find an air filter on your bench and for the life of you, you can't remember which saw it goes to.

Currently going through this.

The last I found laying about was later traced to an Alpina I broke up for spares three years ago.

Here's another one: you ask local people if they have any tree that needs to be taken care of because you have a new saw to try.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Yeah, I walk into the woods behind my house and find a tree that I can live without. They are all pines though.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Or when complete strangers you have never met walk up to you and ask if you are "that chainsaw guy"?

 

[Definitive Dave]

when you start to think ported saws are slow unless they are race saws with fancy bars and race chains attached

when you are happy with running a saw for about 28 seconds and it ends in you being very glad you wore chaps and still being happy with the run, because you learned something

when you come home one day and these are the Extra Signs in the garage


when you dream about grinders and move mountains to buy one


when you have more than one holy grail on your bucket list and never intend to cut wood with them once you find them


when your parts order arrives on a pallet


when the Territory Manager from Stihl sends you a 5 gallon jug of obsolete eco-friendly bar oil as a gag gift for Christmas because you "like the weird stuff"


Then my friends you have the full blown CAD.

CAD is like a deer hunter wondering which gun to take hunting.
