any suggestions for a relatively decent, budget gas chainsaw?

Honestly depending on what your doing either something used or something battery powered and skip the new gas ones. It is often just another engine that needs to be maintained when unless your cutting down fully mature trees a battery one will do the job.

I need gas...and probably 4-stroke (I know this likely precludes 'budget' as an option) as I HATE the smoke 2-stroke engines pump into your face. probably something in the 60 - 70cc range that can run a long bar.

@lowfat you've amassed a huge quantity of tools over the years, I'd like to see pictures of something you've built someday.

Mostly just spending time organizing and getting shop ready. Organizing is like my to go 'hobby' these days . I had just started working on a workbench. But realized using my little benchtop jointer was useless. So tomorrow I'll go buy a thick sheet of melamine to make a jig to flatten them w/ the planer.
