[MikeTM150]

found this on the tube and wondered if anyone on here had something similar or would consider using one?

Not without chainsaw gloves on

all it would have taken was for him to slip when pulling that branch out and a fall and flail of arms and horrible accident

Watch your fingers comes to mind !

[marsonpee]

yikes no. Also surely much easier to hold the saw than the wood?

[big fell!]

Not for me either, rather have the saw in my hand and the wood in a horse or on a grooved block.

It's a cool idea but a bit to risky for me

[Chris Sheppard]

There is a thread somwhere on here with these already.

 

I reckon it'd be pretty quick on the right stuff, though perhaps not the safest.

 

Though I don't see it as any less safe than using an old flat table sawbench or even a big corkscrew splitter - I'd not want to fall into either of them and they both snatch pretty bad too.

 

I did very nearly start making one of these a few weeks ago but never got any further

[George Edward Kempster]

clever idea with the trigger, at first I thought it was just a full revs. I should turn the volume up really

[Mesterh]

Looks like quite a clever setup to me.

 

The only danger is he could fall onto the saw while cutting, but then you could do that using the saw the conventional way, probably more so as you would be swinging the saw about etc.
