I'm getting a new saw! Yip! Yip!

topic posted Wed, November 7, 2007 - 4:28 PM by  Allison
I'm so excited to get a new saw for christmastime. Anyone have recommendations based on their favs? I've been looking at the 30 or 32" sanviks. . . but it's hard to say without getting the chance to try them out.

Also, does anyone have one without teeth? I'd like to not have to check my saw whenever I travel (although i'd probably still have a hard time knowing airport security)

Thanks!

    I have a Craftsman chainsaw that goes through wood pretty good. Gotta keep it oiled though for maximum performance.

      I have a 32" Blacklock, but every time I play it I get all frustrated and go back to my true love, Stella. She's a 26 inch Stanley, and although she doesn't have the full range of a musical saw, she's the one I love.

      And call me a snob, but I think saws without teeth are for babies.

        That's so good to hear. Mine is also a 26" stanley, and I love it dearly. But I've heard so much about 32 inchers that are more flexible, better range, yadda yadda, that I'm thinking, well, maybe I should get a "real" musical saw.

        Hm. .. Maybe I should reevaluate.
