The Boofon Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They're fucking brilliant. Bought one at the weekend and have been chopping away to my hearts content most of the week. Enough firewood stocked up to last a lifetime and enough sawdust to keep the chicken coop clean for the next year. I recommend anyone with enough trees in their garden gets one. I mention my chainsaw experience this week after reading this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2297616/Roofer-Craig-McNulty-took-vertigo-medication-fell-death-pruning-tree.html I'm medicated to the hilt but was buzzing (pardon the pun) chopping wood all week. Why on earth this dope decided to come off his meds is anyone's guess. Link to comment
granite sheep Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Always takes me back to the classic line fae Doom: "A chainsaw! Find some meat!!!" Operating a chainsaw, especially a petrol driven one, shall always be one of the most manliest activities ever. Hell, it's so manly, that the wielder of such chainblade impregnates women at two hundred yards with the manliness of the activity. Link to comment
Pudgie Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've yet to pop my chainsaw cherry. Firing a gun is possibly the closest I've gotten to a chainsaw. Link to comment

Miglo don Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Chainsaws are brilliant, I just got 10 tonnes of tree trunks delivered £300, fucking bargain. Chainsaw out, axe them up bish bash bosh and let them dry, that's the house heated for a year. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Back at it today again. Tackling the trees today. It's a bit more ropey swinging the fucker than just sawing logs. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Sorry I meant branches on the trees not cutting down actual trees. Link to comment
