Welcome my wife.

bks044 great to see your wife having fun with the saw. Please help her with an extended locked elbow on her right arm and try to get her thumb under the handle.Great PPE!! Must be hard to operate a saw if you are left handed. I just don't want a kickback to get away and scare her away from all saws or worse. Maybe we can more partners on the saws.

Every time I start talking about saws or firewood my girlfriend calls me a dork.

Then again she doesn't complain when the house is always warm!

Welcome MNTAINGAL23.

 

[MNTAINGAL23]

Just want to say thanks for all the hospitallity.
I have to cut that way as I injured my right arm over 20 years ago with nerve damage. Lost the use of the arm for quite awhile. Had to learn how to write with the left hand until I was able to use the right arm again.
My kids say I have a skeletor hand as I lost muscle tissue in my hand. I don't have the pad down the thumb any more.
So I do the best I can with what I have.
Not a whiner for what I can't do. I try to do as much as I can on my own even when the husband offers to help. Just independent that way.
Thanks again.

Welcome!~ and ditto on the lefty usage (check your inertia/kb mech every so often too eh), I have several friends who run saws left handed and they occasionally complain its harder to keep their faces out of the kb zone, one does exercises (imitating a kickback sort of thing) reps as he is only an occasional user, but once you're use to it it becomes second nature. My 0.02$ fer da morning.
Great to have ya aboard!

The environmental specialist thing is just a fancy way of saying a custodian.
Actually I could call myself the Maintainence Operational Engineer at a Middle School.
Not a tree hugger unless I am trying to see how big around it is and how cool it would be to cut it up.
Spotted Owl taste like chicken UMMMM.

"Not a tree hugger unless I am trying to see how big around it is and how cool it would be to cut it up." -- Funny. So what's the biggest around you've cut up?

Welcome my wife to AS. She brings a lot of fun and enthusiasum to this site. She is MNTAINGAL23. Here is her avatar. Say hi.

It's the cover art for "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers." Second most popular chainsaw-slasher horror film on the internet next to the Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). I've seen some screen shots and clips -- it's as much a ????o as it is a horror movie.

On a side note: I bought this book about the history of chainsaws. In the intro it mentioned how chainsaws are associated to massacres in pop culture but that a chainsaw would be the worst weapon to use on a killing spree. I never thought of that before but it makes sense. It's so loud you're victim can know you are coming and run away long before you get there. It's heavy and short ranged compared to a semi-automatic firearm. Slicing human bone is going to dull the chain, and eventually you are going to run out of gas.

Hello MNTAINGAL23

WELCOME!!!!! Nice to see another woman here. You will feel home here, I think.
Sad to hear about your damage with your right arms. But it looks like you do it very well with your left arm...:computer:
