Need a more dangerous power tool?

I thought my Angle Grinder was pretty dangerous for a software engineer to be using. But what, I thought at the weekend, could threaten my life more?

Then it came to me. Chainsaw on a Stick.



Good, but for extra thrill value, stand on a ladder under a tree and cut bits off that are over your head.

So I did. That was pretty much my weekend. Boy, I'm tired today. Has to be said, Chainsaw on a Stick gets heavy after a while.

No, that's not me in the picture. I didn't have a silly white safety hat to worry about. Hard to believe I'm still alive.
