My weakness is saws and measuring and marking tools.   I love my
Starretts.  I can hardly pass up on a nice square regardless of brand.   I
probably have 20 plus of various shapes and sizes.   As far as saws are
concerned,  I'm not much into brand as much as age and condition.   If I
see what looks to be a PRE-WWII saw with a straight plate, decent tote and
even the remotest chance to raise an etch,  they just seem to follow me
home - especially the smaller sizes 18-22" and then don't even let me start
on back saws.   That's another thing altogether.  It really is sad.   I
just can't stand that they otherwise will become someone's at canvas.  I
get shaking like a junky when I come across them.  Somebody help me please.
