You'll never know what you like until you try some. Tail handle? Top handle? Chizzle chain? Safety chain? Sprocket tip bar? Quarter or dime tip carving bar? You can find used gas saws for 25 - 50 bucks. I see them a lot and I have purchased two or three in the last few years. I gave or traded them away too. MBL has one :) You'll likely find Poulan and Craftman saws at yard sales or flea markets. I found a Poulan for 15 bucks. It ran like a raped ape. Look in the paper or on Craig's list. Bottom line.....get one and start carving. It doesn't matter if it is gas or electric or nuclear - just get one cheap and start having fun. Oh, yeah, and wear saftey gear! -G
