  • For my latest woodworking project, I made a wooden Anvil from an Ash log. In this build, I used chainsaws and of course Arbortech Tools! When making this wooden Anvil, the challenge was to make something so familiar to me in the workshop, but have to duplicate with wood! The Arbortech tools made finding the subtle lines in the project easy! www.arbortecht...

    I've been watching Jimmy for years. What I love : never knowing what he will make from what ( bench from a Cadillac or an anvil from a log), his creativity, and the fact he doesn't fake his shots. He has angle grinders vibrating into shots rather than having everything staged like a Hollywood film. It keeps me clicking on his videos to watch a true authentic craftsman.

    If ya make sure the output on your baby chainsaw is clean it will cut better. Gas ones have the power to keep it clean. The battery ones are cute but they don't have the giddy up to make the chips throw. They build up and also dull the chain/drain the battery faster. Look at the video and you see it build up under the saw.
