I find wood chippers and rock-crushing machines a bit unsettling.
When using a chainsaw, wear PPE, don't be like me

I had to use an angle grinder to cut apart the metal frame of a machine we were re-engineering circa 1995. I don't think I've ever been as afraid of any tool since.
Wood chippers fascinate and horrify me. I will not go anywhere near a running one.
When I was 12 I I wanted to build belt sander-powered boots. My parents found out when they caught me with with ski boots in the garage in the middle of summer. I even had a plan for a portable power source. Think gas-powered generator in a backpack.
Ever try to build a hovercraft using vacuum cleaner parts? Asking for a friend.
No but I may have experience in converting a kayak into a submersible. It was a nice kayak. Word of advice: don't make a snorkel longer than 16 inches if it's going to be used for breathing directly on lung power.Ever try to build a hovercraft using vacuum cleaner parts? Asking for a friend.
Now I'm thinking chainsaw-powered rope ascenders.
I am always afraid when I use a table saw.
Not a bad thing. When i use mine, i think about every move. how i will start the cut, how i will push it through, how i will finish with the push stick , before i start.
Read a report from 1989 stating there were 40,000 chainsaw accidents per year, with some crazy high number of stitches.
Along with chaos, wear a forestry helmet as a NH Occupational Safety Inspector told me about the number of branch strikes. They don’t call them “widowmakers” for nothing.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Alright!
I don't fell trees, I only cut up fallen ones. But I should probably get a good helmet anyway, just in case. Better to err on the side of safety.

We often cut “leaners” but usually tie an arborist rope through a snatch block and pull them all the way down with the tractor.
This woman told me that branches falling from adjacent trees are more common than people realize.
