the winter blues
« on: January 06, 2020, 09:22 »
so I started of with all the best intentions yesterday to finish cutting up a small pile of wood left over from Saturday as they where quite large lumps I thought I would use the petrol chainsaw as it was a bit more powerful than the battery one

so of we go then the chainsaw started jumping I know the piece of wood I was cutting was a bit hard so I checked the chainsaw and found the sprocket was worn and causing the chain to slip so I stopped using that and need to get it repaired  >:(

so I thought I would the finish cutting with the battery saw away we go it was taking a bit to cut through the wood then bang the chain broke so I'm left with no chainsaws only two repair bills so I gave thing up and called it a day  :mad:

I'd stop, while you still have both legs.

I'd suggest an axe but I'll share this axes are dangerous story just in case.

One of my lot was chopping logs with an axe, was told mind (their) head swinging that axe about like that. Mockingly replies "what like this, forgets own strength or the weight of the axe or more likely was too busy making faces and being a smart alec. Smacked self with back of axe in the middle of his forehead. Then everybody laughed while they lay stunned. One of the others near crushed their foot and leg with a log attached to the same axe.
