The chainsaw man: Heimann plans to launch museum, workshop in
Dike
Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/18/2018 - 5:22pm
Mark Heimann of Dike (pictured) owns a collection of over 350
chainsaws, most of them McCulloch, and keeps them in his garage.
Sometime in the near future, he plans to open a museum and
workshop downtown. (Robert Maharry/The Grundy Register photo)

When Mark Heimann tells people about his passion, he admits that
he gets a few funny looks at first. But you�d be surprised, he
adds, how many kindred spirits are out there.
�Most of the time people say, �I don�t know anybody else who has
that hobby,�� he said. �But from time to time, I�ll mention it
to somebody, and they�ll say �Oh, you need to go see (someone
they know).��
Heimann, who moved to Dike 40 years ago and still calls it home
today, has amassed a collection of 350 chainsaws�primarily the
McCulloch brand�and looks for differences between makes and
models that only an expert could possibly notice. Sometime in
the near future, he plans to move them out of his garage and
into a new museum at the corner of State and Main Street to show
off what he has and teach youngsters who are interested in
woodcutting and woodworking.
After a stint as a shop teacher, Heimann went to briefly work at
John Deere and then Roskamp in Waterloo from 1982 until his
retirement in April�to �pay the bills and put food on the
table,� as he tells it�and bought a new Johnsrud saw that would
end up lasting him over 25 years. When it finally failed in the
early 2000s, he went on the Internet, at the time still an
emerging phenomenon, to look for assistance with fixing it, and
Heimann discovered a community of enthusiasts.
�It reminded me (that) �You used to have McCulloch saws,�� he
said. �It just got to the point where I had a little time, I had
a little bit of disposable income, and I wanted to get a saw
like I used to have.�
There are practical applications as well. The Heimanns use
firewood for heating, and their son Josh is now a cabinetmaker
with Birch Cabinets in Waterloo.
�We always cut wood growing up... I picked up a saw when I was
12 or 14 years old,� Josh said. �(Dad) was always there to
answer questions if I had any issues.�

That is really awesome, Mark is taking his passion to another
level.
A place I will check off on my travels to see list.
