Not keen on all that toxic dust, working in a tyvex suit all day with air fed mask - bit like chainsaw milling [emoji857]

It’s mainly seasoned wood that produces dangerous inhalants, or very rotten wood.
Fresh clean logs don’t really produce dangerous sawdust.
I’m more worried about the 880/881 next to me pumping out exhaust and a spray of chain oil.
I’d probably would have given up if it wasn’t for alkylate petrol (motomix or aspen).
Can’t stand pump fuel now.

Ah - Are the saws happy if you were to switch between pump and Aspen ?

We will probably use pump with airfed mask off compressor when here at base, like we use spraying 2 pack isocynate paints.

I just use motomix now in 55litre drums.
Yes, I’d like to get a positive pressure mask too.

I get the 'can you just make......' all the time

'no I just knock them over and make them square'

Hold on a minute - who said anything about square !

 

He does 'basic' through and through, slabs - 'basic' like slicing a loaf of bread.

 

Rough Hewn definitely doesn't go as far cutting the crusts off ?
