We are house-sitting on a property next to our old house so we have a few friends in the district. One lost her husband back in April and has been managing her acreage on her own since. She was saying she’d have to buy wood for...

One chainsaw too short (conclusion to the oak tree)

laser_vision @laser_vision (129) • United States 11 Jul 23

That would be my father’s chainsaw, which is too short to saw the very large oak branch that has fallen in our backyard. Get the saw too close to the nose, it will kickback into you, says my father, who investigated the resulting...

Adventures in wood harvesting

laser_vision @laser_vision (129) • United States 30 Jun 23

“I have a jackhammer, could get that done real easy.” The voice, coming from behind the fence, could have produced a startle reflex, but not really. Instead, I slowly stood up from what I had been sawing, a large, perhaps...

Our farm neighbor gave permission to my husband to use our chain saw on the trees in the ditches by his field. Now it is back in the bushes his field but a nice one. So trees overgrew in the ditches so they needed to be cleared...

We did a decent afternoon's work for a change

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Nov 20

In the bush just outside the boundary of our property in Donnybrook, Western Australia, is – or rather was – a dead jarrah tree. Vince has had his eye on it for a few years as jarrah makes wonderful firewood. Jarrah is one of our...

A business shirt has a second life

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Feb 18

When we go out using the chain-saw or cleaning up rubbish, I always wear jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. This protects me a little from scratches and scrapes. Sometimes we will be loading branches onto the trailer then later...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381837) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Feb 18

Yesterday we took the chainsaw down the paddock and cut down several eucalypts which were starting to get near the power lines. As the trees are on our property, it is up to us to keep them pruned away from the lines. We have a...

Tomorrow we are busy again! That makes three days in a row I think. Vince's brother and his wife are coming out to see us and we're taking advantage of the extra hands to cut down a dead jarrah tree. Once it is down we'll saw it...

Reunited with my chainsaw

koopharper @koopharper (7599) • Canada 19 Jul 16

Burned out the clutch a couple weeks ago. I finally got it back from the repairman today. It wasn't cheap but it works like new again. Cheaper than a new one. Will be giving it a short workout later this evening when the...

When I was in Austin, I got to visit the house that the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was filmed. And I got to eat in the restaurant. It was a pretty cool place.

A man cuts off his own head

urbandekay @urbandekay (18278) 29 Jan 12

A while ago I read in the news that a man cut off own head with chainsaw and it is understood police are not treating his death as suspicious. Does something strike you as incongruous here? I mean chainsaws are potentially...
