What's the strangest thing you've cut or done with a Chainsaw?

[Gushh]

Alright trees aside, what else have you cut with a chainsaw? what was the strangest thing?, what else do you use them for aside from opening beer bottles? :biggrin:

I must say I never used one to dig a cable trench or cut big game with... There's something wrong about it all but I can't quite figure it out!

I did a similar thing at a similar age:msp_biggrin:

I used to cut large diameter poly drainage pipes for roads etc. surprisingly hard compared to wood.

Use stump chains to dig trenches for piping for Helo dip tanks. Weed whack acres upon acres upon endless acres of black berries. Cut the center out of front end loader tires so the local casino could plant trees on the inside of them. Hmmmm.... Boat anchor, yes really. Once seen an older family friend had a wind chime made out of some smaller saws. Seen one used as a chock block for a D6. Didnt turn out very well.

The 101 uses of Chainsaws, they can even keep you warm at night!

I read somewhere that saws like the 090 are also quite effective with mosquito control in the tropics :monkey:

I wasn't that thin when I was conceived and now much like a 090 now days I am still grossly over weight compared to that operator. That saw weight a 25% of his total weight:msp_scared:

I have a fire pit in my yard made out of a bent 640 John Deere skidder wheel. When I went to get the wheel from a local logger it still had the tire on it. His son sawed the tire off it with an 044. He had to use a sawzall to cut the cable in the bead though.

My brother and I growing up in n wisc, wanted to do the mid winter dip in the river. We used the saw to cut through 2 ft + of ice, to make a hole big enough to fully immerse in after we prepped in the hot sauna for 20 min, and couldn't take the heat any longer, dashed out to the river and plunged in! That really got the blood flowing!

Cut up a 6 person non-working spa with a Stihl 028. Used a couple of older / cheap chains then hauled the pieces to the dump. Messy, messy work, but the job got done. Sawzall just wasn't cutting it.

cutting blocks for ice sculptures with my 266xp...back in the '80s

Where I live there are 4 stumps, 2 Cedar 2 Fir, over 2ft. dia. in front of my little shack, close to the road. I cut them off flat then used my little top handle saw to hollow them out for planters.

 

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

I cut down a hollow cottonwood and ended up cutting a raccoon in half....blood, guts and hair blew out that clutch cover like crazy.

 

[jklett]

I cut up a couple of boats to fit them in a dumpster. Fiberglass itch worse than any insulation job and wrecked the chain but it worked.

Occasionally use a 009 to rip steers in half. Years ago an old mate cut his 21st birthday cake with a 038, went right through the table, sh@t flew everywhere, women screaming ,great fun!!
