Gallots,

What the heck is this gimmick chainsaw?

(around 8:30)

IMO, would be faster with a proper old style hand saw...

Chris,

Watching too much youtube again!

It is a detailing chain saw for large scale woodcarvers.  I have seen a local
guy use one in making his large bears, eagles and pukey ducks

Has anyone else found that it’s just too much trouble to watch youtube?   Damn
adverts to start with, then they cut in to stuf you’re watching, and now they
want me to sign in and subscribe.  Their algorithm to decide what I might be
interested in is always rong too.


- and the cute baby chainsaw?  taken away from its parent before it grown up?
- What Ed said.  I confess that I’ve been semi converted to electron power for
indoor c/saw work, or even bits of stuff outdoors.  But my Husqy will stay with
me.

Ya gotta separate the wheat from the chaff!  Seems way too many infatuated with
new tools,
singing praises for designs that have been around forever.

One that seems worthwhile is “Rex Kruger” and of course, you can find all of St.
Roy’s shows on YT.

I use some ad blockers, and see no ads whatsoever on youtube.

They are going to put a battery on a yo-yo soon, if they haven't already.
And all the world is in love.

   Nobody cares if they don't last and let you down when it counts.
Nobody notices it costs the price of the tool to replace the battery.

They are too busy singing
I want my bat-ter-ryyyyyyy!

I have both a Woodzig corded polesaw, with a special chain no longer made ( I
snap them up when I find them at garage sales) that looks very much like the one
in the video, but with pole and tail attached, and a Prazi 12 inch beam cutter
that mounts in place of a circular saw blade on a wormdrive Skilsaw.  Google
both "woodzig" and "prazi saw" to see what I'm talking about.
