Let's see...I have....
1 makita skillsaw
3 battery saws
3 battery sawzalls
1 pole saw
Multiple sheetrock saws
Multiple handsaws, a few old ones from my grandfather
Craftsman Tablesaw
Grizzly Bandsaw
2 back saws
2 dovetail saws
4 japanese pull saws
A couple of limbing sawzall blade hand saws I made for demoing sheetrock.
Makita d handle jigsaw
Leatherman handtool that fits the jigsaw blades, so I have 3 different ones on me at all times, just in case.
One Jonered chainsaw (gettin a fix from our very own chainsaw guru, @woodtickgreg )
2 machetes with sawtooth backs
2 chopsaws
1 detail backsaw

I think that's it?

I hardly ever use my tablesaw or the chopsaw. The bandsaw is my new everyday saw.
I used to use my sawzall on a daily basis.
My handsaws I use once in a while.
The pull saws I use regularly both on my lathe, and for box making.

Too damned hot outside to work on it, lol. I don't do heat well anymore. I have been doing some research on it though. Seems to be made for a very short time, like a year or two. Most parts are obsolete so the aftermarket is about the only option. I need to dig a little further into it but it's just too damned hot here. Maybe next weekend.

I wasn't pushing for it. :blush: I was just givin ya props...

You're right about it being made for a short time. I thought it was 4 years, :whatever:
Aftermarket is fine with me. I'm not picky...:good2:

I know you weren't pushing budd, just letting you know whats going on. The fuel lines seem a little hard so I am assuming the carb diaphragms are as well. I'm going to try a simple carb diaphragm and fuel lines with filter replacement and see how she runs. I have some logs I need to process into turning blanks so I can abuse her a little and see if I can get her to fail. If she does after the carb work that will lead me to believe it's a coil, then we look to the aftermarket.

I don't know how many circular saws alone that I have. A dozen or more and half need repair of some sort. My guys were hard on them when I was in the remodeling game.

  • I have them in sizes ranging from 4 3/8" up to 10 1/4". Also have a zero-clearance flush cut circular saw for cutting the floors out right against the wall (if the buddy who borrowed it last will return it).
  • 5 table saws ranging from 4" up to 16".
  • 1 band saw (actually 2 but 1 I don't count - it's a Sears POS)
  • 1 radial arm saw (converted as a dedicated band saw blade sharpener)
  • 1 scroll saw (can't get it cutting properly though)
  • 6 recip saws - 5 sawzall style and 1 flush cut recip
  • 4 powered miter saws 2 CMS and 2 SCMS, one (crappy) hand-powered miter box and saw (need a good one)
  • 4 jig saws - 3 western D-handle style and 1 barrel style Euro; I never even look at the D-handle saws they're like slow tanks and the Euro barrel is a powerful sports car.
  • Numerous hand saws of all types including but not limited to flush cut, cope, various crosscut, ripping, several DT, 1 veneer saw, 1 fret saw. I love my Jap pull saws but IMO western push saws have their place as well. Two 2-man 5' cc saws aka "misery whip", most all the construction trades saws like sheet rock, keyhole, yards saw 2 or 3 pruning saws 2 or 3 bow saws.
  • 1 metal cutoff saw

I'm sure I forgot some.

Greg I ran that Makita 16" saw timber framing for a whole week once - that thing will give you a workout!

You type with your nose or what??? As much trouble as you had with one little bitty sharp knife, a feller would think you'd be without any fingers with that many saws around!! :headscratch2::saw: :headscratch2:
 
:lol: Now that's funny right there I don't care who you are.

Gives a whole new "vision" to the term hunt n peck...:sarcastic:
 
Lots,

10 inch table saw
14 inch Rockwell bandsaw
Vega 126 scroll saw
Rigid chop saw
Dewalt Radial arm saw
4 or 5 pull saws
Coping saw
4 foot monster from the early 1900's for cross cutting logs when I don't want to pack in the chainsaw
Husquevarna chainsaw
Several disston cross and rip saws
Hacksaw
Sawzall

I'm sure that there are a few I'm missing. Looking at the list it's time to pare down a bit maybe...


Oh, almost forgot, My 1870's treadle scroll saw too.
 
Table saw
bandsaw (2 at the moment, one is going to the stepson shortly)
hacksaw
2 chainsaws (gas and electric)
coping saw
miter saw
circ saw
drywall saw
jigsaw
hand saw (probably a cross cut one. Don't use it much, don't remember where it came from)
scroll saw
 
14" Delta Bandsaw, vintage 1946 w/ riser block - this is the saw I use most
10" Table Saw
24" Delta Scroll Saw, vintage 1938/1939 - haven't used it yet beyond making sure it works, but will be giving it a full restore this summer
Compound Miter Saw - rarely used, and only for rough work
Makita Circular Saw - not used very often, mostly for breaking down sheet goods
Several handsaws of various kinds - cross cut, dovetail, coping, flush cut, a few others; the crosscut is the only one I use with any regularity and I do so cutting pieces roughly to length, leaving a little extra to square it up later.

Have plans to pick up a chainsaw sometime. Was planning to get one this year but am going to hold out for longer - Colin talked me into going big last time I saw him. Makes sense - especially as I'd like to pair it up with a mill. However, I might pick up an electric one this year so I can prep small stuff and turning stock with it.
 
Being a woodturner I have : :saw:

Table Saw - sits on my hoist up above a table- used 4x a year.
Band Saw - Wood
Band Saw - metal
Miter Saw - Hand
Chop Saw
Jigsaw
Skilsaw
Handsaws -most kinds
Coping Saw 2
Sheetrock Saw
Limb Saw
Pole saw
Chain Saws - 1 electric. 3 gas
Hacksaw x 2
Sawzall
