See Saws

                       Here are my saws and their weights :   Stihl O26  16 lbs. -- Dolmar Stone Cutter  30 lbs. -- Dolmar PS 510 17 lbs.  -- Dolmar PS 6000 i  21 lbs. --McCulloch  21 lbs. -- Remington 8 inch 7 lbs. --14 inch 7 lbs.    So;  "Why all the saws?"   

           I wanted my first saw to be a Stihl O24, a "smaller" type saw that I would use as my "Climbing Saw" , the one you take up into the tree --- but Steve Stewart, the owner of the Shop, convinced me to get the O26 because it was stronger [more Horsepower] {Power to Weight Ratio} than the O24, for ALMOST the same price   ----------->   that's what I bought and I never regretted it .

           The PROBLEM with having just ONE saw is that if it gets "bound up",  caught, as it were, by a VISE gripping log, you can't just yank it out, you gotta either jack it loose or use a "come-along" to free it, whereas with a second saw you can just cut it out .   But with THAT comes EXPENSE .   The Plan was for a 2 saw Operation with the second saw of MUCH greater bar length--- but  THAT  required another   3  or  for   'bills'   --- nothing  I  had  at  that  time .   SOLUTION ?   Don't  get  that  fucking saw STUCK !
