    On another note I've only been doing woodworking on and off since I was 17 and a Carpenters apprentice(I'm now 29). I've always worked for the guys who always seem to have the tool due to the extensive work we did, but now starting as a "wood-bee" carpenter by myself I don't have that luxury. Your videos inspire me to branch out and do things off the "learned path" and brother you have helped me out big time. I just wanted to thank you a million times over because I'm adapting and growing thanks to your videos.

    I'm Brazilian and I live in Brazil.
    I do not speak English and I use google translator a lot when I need it.
    So I always start watching the videos without knowing what the final result will be, what the person is building.
    Of course sometimes a picture of the final result is shown and so I already know what it will be.
    This video, I had no idea of its intention and in the beginning I confess I thought it would be a ladder. Once again you surprised me positively and I confess that when I saw the chainsaw (and now I know it's chainsaw) I gave a satisfied smile.
    Congratulations dear ... one more video of yours that deserves a like.

    Beautiful, thx Izzy !!! You said you "can't wait to get a proper rip chain in". Believe it or not, despite the fact that you are running lengthwise down the log, you are in fact still "cross cutting" the grain, not ripping. (Notice you are cutting at right angles to the run of the grain, not parallel to it and therefore creating a powdery swarf).
