    I wouldnt go near a powered saw because I don't have the training. They're dangerous yokes.

    I bought one recently enough when I had gone out to buy a shears to remove bushes and huge weeds that were turning into beanstalks or something.

    Thought feck it and bought it from Argos. Felt like a lumberjack for ten minutes.

    My uncle cut his thumb off with one but luckily it was just hanging on by a vein and my granny bandaged him with ice and got him to hospital and apart from a scar it's perfectly fine.

    Dangerous feckin things.

    Your uncle was incredibly lucky that your granny was available for first aid.

    My brother cut off the thumb twice and the father in law once. Both still have ten digits.

    The Sinaloa and Arrellano Felix drug cartels have killed people by gutting the throat with a chainsaw. Sick bastards that they are, they sometimes record the killing and put it up on the web, LiveLeak has a couple of these vids.

    Knew Isis were copying their methods of terror from others. Unoriginal f*ckers.

    Chainsaws are grand. Unless you see someone like Leatherface with one. Then you should worry.

    There was a man in snickers cutting down a tree outside my window last week.

    He had a massive chainsaw.

    my father has some kind of chainsaw obsession,i think theres a name for it were they get some buzz off the roaring sound of it,he finds the most stupid s**t just to cut up and when hes not doing that hes meticulously maintaining it and as i type that he just went by the window with it......must have found some twigs to cut up.

    Always remember to keep the chain well lubricated. You don't want it flying off whilst you're using it.

    Feck. :mad:

    Now you've got me thinking I should spend my afternoon carving up the rest of a knotty trunk that's lying on my boundary instead of taking my new camera for a walk.

    Should never have logged on to Boards.ie instead of going to Mass ... :(
