New Chainsaw Training

[harvey b davison]

I have used saws for the last 20 years without any training. I use the saws for my own firewood. I only use a 14" bar. I service my own saw and sharpen them, normally in the past i'd normally but macculloch etc. But after being a member on here for a while now, i know that i am probably doing a few things wrong still and could do with a few pointers, therefore i am looking towards doing a course. It may not be the full monty cs30 / 31 but defo the lantra equivellent at the minimum, therefore i'd say any training is better than none.

I think it's an excellent idea, and an excellent syllabus.

 

I agree that the majority of users may in theory just cut up firewood. However, this doesn't apply to all of them.

 

I agree with Marka and Harvey B Davidson's comments - I'm totally unqualified, can't justify the cost of a CS course as I don't need tickets etc, but at the price quoted, with the syllabus proposed, would be really interested in going along.

 

There are probably enough of us out there who fit this bracket - we're not out to take people's livelihoods away, but we do do a lot more than just cut up firewood! As such, please don't dumb down the content - amateur does not inherently equal idiot. The closest equivalent course I can think of is the small wood owners one, but it's a lot longer (and not very geographically convenient).
