    Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Alot of familiar names around here. Just wanted to give you guys a little background on my wood/saws addiction. Lol

    Started to help my pap gather wood as soon as I was able to walk pretty much. Been loving it ever since. My first saw was a 009l that my grandpa bought me 20 plus years ago and still have and use to this day. I'm currently heating with a eko 25 gasification boiler, burning about 5 to 6 cord a year. Love the new boiler. Sips wood. My main saws are dolmar 7910, stihl 361, stihl 066 red light, and stihl 009. Then have a pile more play saws. Nos nib ms 440 For splitting I use fiskars and 27 ton troy built hydro splitter. 97 toyota t100 with 6 by 10 trailer to get it all home. Couple pics of it all[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Welcome, t4driller! Your thread title says "newbie", but your saws and pics of saws say different. You look like a great addition to our group. Looking forward to seeing pics of the upcoming GTG. Hope you have a great time with these goofs!

    WELCOME!

    That's some impressive equipment and a nice saw lineup. However, I . . . um . . . didn't notice that red light in any of the photos. I LOVE me some 066 Red Light!!!

    That pic with the top handles was when I first started to notice I had CAD. I've now went into remission and in therapy 7 days a week. [​IMG] I'm almost curved if it......

    Aww snap!

    Same way here, I used to grab every saw I could get a deal on.........nowadays I'm quite a bit more selective. I only have Husqvarnas, Stihls, Poulans, Dolmars, Homelites, Echos, and an Olympyk......LOL!
