    Guido. I think you need to step your bar game up!!! Your saw to bar ratio should be at least 1 to 1!:rofl: :lol:

    There are about 150 bars on that rack, I have more in my shop. Also a number of the saws in my garage have bars on them already.

    These boxes are all filled with chains as well, probably 400+ there.

    Welcome gill. I'm a 9 saw guy so far and I wasn't going to have more than 1 a year ago. Glad to see another Hoosier!

    I'm going to move forward with one saw and one saw only.

    Welcome Gill and good for you. Last spring I bought a Husky 555 just to upgrade from a rather old Stihl 026 that I bought new way back last century. So far the only reason I can see to expand would be if I got into a chain saw mill and then I would need to go to a bigger saw. For firewood use I see no reason to add a bigger saw at all.

    I was more than half serious!! I just want to be clear.

    ....so hopefully I'll be able to stick to that, but a sawmill you say? That sounds like a lot of fun.

    Check listings for Alaskan mill using Google. There are lots of them out there but they really need something bigger than my 60 cc saw.

    I am not an advocate of chain saw mills. Having owned a Frick mill and used a band mill I would not waste my time trying to make lumber with a chain saw.

    Welcome, Gill. I too cut firewood for fun. Don't burn but maybe a 1/2 cord for camping. I just enjoy the outdoors, high desert smell and throwin' chips.

    Lots if good people here and full of knowledge. A few pushers whether it be saws or stoves:rofl: :lol: but what do you expect? WE ARE HOARDERS! Bum do bum bum, bum bum bum.
