Next job is to chop the main limb into usable wood. I'm
thinking of rigging a frame so the saw works like a chopsaw.


Sounds absolutely lethal to me.


Dont see why it should be lethal.


But given that none of the pros use chainsaws
like that, not clear how well it would work either.


Usually sawmills use saws with narrower kerf for obvious reasons,
but the cost of a massive circular saw isn't realistic here.


True and it isnt even clear if they are viable to hire either.


Nothing is viable to hire.


BULL****. I hired all of a road grader to do the site for the house,
a ****ing great forklift used to move full shipping containers down
the railway yards to put the swamp cooler on the roof, and what we
call a front end loader and you lot call something else to move the
dirt back to the house so that it looks like the house is set into the
ground, but it isnt.

With a normal chainsaw you use the spikes on the
front of the saw body to dig into the wood and provide
a leaver that allows you to sort of leaver the bar into the
wood to put more pressure on the chain so it cuts better.
Can't see how that could work with a chainsaw rigged
up to work like a chopsaw.


If there's one thing a chainsaw doesn't need it's pressure.


Must explain why any decent chainsaw has those teeth/spikes.


I see you don't understand why chainsaws have those.


You clearly dont have a ****ing clue, as always.
