Taught Addie How To Use A Chainsaw

in #homesteading6 years ago

Addie has been afraid of the chainsaw since we got one 5yrs ago. She finally decided to learn how to use it. So we spent the afternoon cutting firewood. I dropped 2 trees (dead ones) to show her how then she dropped her first one ever. Before that though she practiced cutting the ones I dropped into billets. Here are some pics of her going at it. And a video of her dropping her first tree.

This video is of Addie practicing how to cut logs into billets…

And here she is dropping her tree…

Aside from having trouble starting the saw she has done pretty good today.

Thanks for coming by 🙂

Looks like she is getting the hang of it. Hahaha

just needs to work on starting it and her notches...

STAY afraid.
Chainsaws are dangerous machines...be inattentive for just and instant and they'll get ya.

Good advice . Just as soon as you think you have it all down pat and no matter how experienced you are if you get complacent with any tool or machine . It can be dangerous.

safety equipment is as thing.
Personally I prefer reciprocating saws with long blades.

:) true...

CONGRATULATIONS!
