..but I broke the chain within five minutes. I forgot to tension it. I bought a new chain. I was just out in the dark cutting things down, great fun! There is something a little creepy about hearing a chainsaw at night, at least according to my neighbor.


anybody have any good chainsaw stories?

Do I? No. Does my mother, a paramedic? Yes, many. You might be able to fathom how most of her stories start and end.

Bliss, frankly, I'm frightened that you're handy. I'd feel much safer if you were merely a pencil pusher. And, oddly, people feel the same way about me and my knowledge of physics, carpentry, and flare for creative destruction.

If I could you, my old drummer Dan and myself in an area with a lot of wood, metal, glass and gasoline the results would be phenominal.

Cool, a drill press would be handy. I think a table saw is next up for me though. -Or an air compressor.

I opted for a table saw not too long ago. It is quite practical. I find myself using it more than I planned. You should also look into a DeWalt miter saw. Those are great.

Hey Josh....did you get a black and red flannel shirt when you got the chainsaw? I did. :D

I already had one!

I got a Rigid miter saw for Christmas from my brother when I bought my house, I use it frequently.
