Neat that he has a collection like that.

I read that story yesterday and was going to post the link.
I'm glad you did.  The comments after the articles are always cool in the BDN.
We need to invite that feller over here.
I did a search and found another video where he talks about an underwater Chainsaw.

It's neat to a point .Once people find out you collect old saws they show up like stray cats .If you don't watch it in short order you're up to your hip pockets in them .

So then you tinker with a few until they run and park them on a shelf only to have to fiddle with them the next time you have a notion to run them .

I've got 40-50 that have ran within the last 5 years but I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut only about half would fire up at any one time .It can be a almost a full time job .Just imagine having 5-600 hundred .

Like at  a GTG .I start rounding up saws about a week ahead of time .Maybe tote a dozen -15 to the event .As sure as God made little green apples it's a sure fired bet about 3 or 4 will refuse to start .
