    Funny, I had forgotten,… when I was little, dad was a chef & would, occasionally, get to do ice sculptures, when the weather was cold enough or when contracted out-of-state. Always fascinated me.

    Great stuff. I’m just amazed he doesn’t wear eye protection or ear protection when using that chainsaw and other loud tools. Not criticizing or scolding, just impressed he doesn’t need them.

      @@frankyb702so…you think wearing protective gear is “puccy?” Well, I guess you’ll soon be doing everyone a favor by continuing to believe that.

    • @sommelierofstench
      @sommelierofstench Рік тому +1

      eye protection from what? the excess ice that was being ejected by the chain was like snow cone consistency. a snowball to the face is probably more dangerous

      I'm an ice carver. Sometimes while angle grinding etc you take an uce shard to the eye.. tends to sting a tad but just bounces off. Chainsaws throw the snow/water forwards so you don't get it in the face. Die grinders cover you in snow. Any kind of goggles while throwing snow instantly blinds you so it's far more dangerous to wear that stuff.
