I am going to take the drill and lighten up that 24" bucksaw. I did that with my Wyoming saw II and took 6 oz's off it I think. I did end up breaking it so I may have done a little bit too much drilling wink. I still have my small Wyoming saw but its heavy and pretty much worthless for trying to keep a larger stove running.

I am concerned about how the blades connect using the plastic ends but I have not had a problem yet. Also, if your saw is wet when you put it all back in the main tube it will be froze togather the next time you use it if temps are low enough. Make sure to either wipe it off before you put it away or your going to have to stick it down your pants for a few minutes to unthaw it like I had to smile.
