You wait, they'll have them in Aldi before april. Excellent bit of backyard engineering. Necessity is the mother of invention. If the old guy has got that far in life he's probably learnt a lot along the way. As far as he's concerned his life is now easier, he can hang up his hand saw.

I was absolutly taken with the simplicity of his well engineered "bodge"

dunk it in any open vessel of oil to lube the chain periodically.

Chain Also looked relatively sharp?

HOWEVER

I did however note the saw was "live" during the whole operation.

I, even when younger, was slightly more safety conscious that that.

Ok. SO fair play to him for doing it. Engineering at it's finest I reckon.

 

Safe, not a hope in hell. But then it's Russia so h and s isn't exactly top of there list.

 

It does however remind me of a story on here not so long ago of the bloke who was using his disc cutter on logs and it kicked into his gut. Any else remember that? Wounder if it's the same bloke....
