But it is half a dozen of the Waimate man's collection of about 60 chainsaws that form part of a display at the Waimate Museum called What's in Blokes' Sheds.
It is part of a series celebrating the "Year of the Bloke". Waimate men were asked to supply a hobby item from their sheds.
Mr Frew's collection of chainsaws started by accident, as did his ownership of 20 Fairlanes and Falcons.
About 20 years ago, he bought a new chainsaw to cut up firewood. He owned it for two weeks before it was stolen while he went on holiday. To replace it, he bought an old chainsaw. When that broke down, he bought another, and a collection grew.
Some have been bought from vintage machinery swap meets and sales. However, he is now starting to slow down when it comes to chainsaws, trying not to double up and becoming more selective.
His collection has chainsaws from when they first became available after World War 2. Some more unusual brands include Titan, Jubo and Teles-Smith.
Along with chainsaws, he also has a penchant for Ford Falcons and Fairlanes, and his collection started in a similar way.
His collection of tractors started from a part-time job as a contractor, baling hay on lifestyle blocks.
The Waimate Museum's "Bloke" series started earlier this year with a fishing and hunting exhibition. .
