stumpy Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Not wires full of smoke but my earliest life changing experience involved a Mamod traction engine, an open pint bottle of meths and the living room carpet - I couldn't sit down for a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi Mark, In one of our local hire shops they have hanging in the sales area the remnants of the protective clothing used when the operator of the chainsaw suffered from kickback. Trees out in the sticks tend not to nails or other pieces of metal grown into them unlike trees in peoples gardens. Tan would let me use one either, can't say I blame her.
