As we say in the south, Them Aussie's really know how to make some real tools. You ought to check out what us southern red necks come up with some times. It will crack you up. V-8 lawn mowers, I'm talking 327 CI and four wheel drive etc. Some of the stuff Larry the Cable Guy talks about. That is one hoss of a saw.

[David Weaver]

I wonder how many people mumble to them "well, it's not as fast as Predator"..

[george wilson]

It better cut fast. No cooling system.

[Frederick Skelly]

Man, that definitely beats using a hand saw. (At least until that engine overheats, as George pointed out.) Wow!

Joe's right. Our Southern Brethren will just LOVE this beast!

[Bill Houghton]

I'd sure hate to use that thing to fell a tree.

[Adam Cruea]

Does Derek have one in his shop somewhere? :confused:

[Brian Ashton]

aussies are dumb… take anything they do with a grain of salt.

[Roderick Gentry]

Not hand held it's might as well be a harvester. I realize it is just for fun, but it doesn't seem that fun either.

Looks great for making coffee table tops.

Doesn't everyone?! :D

Comparing it to Predator, it can be operated by one person (predator takes two, and they have to be big people) and the one person looks like they can manage better than two do on predator.

I wonder if youtube has increased the number of contraptions in general because all of the sudden you know you can get someone to see what you did? If you lived in a rural or suburban area in the past, you could hope that TV news would pick it up and recast it, but that was about it.

[george wilson]

Anyone see the 40 H.P. Snow mobile engine powered chainsaw that was on one of the T.V. shows recently? At least the guy picked it up to use it.

[Max Withers]

But can they cut finger joints with it?

There must be something in the water in those commonwealth countries.

[John Coloccia]

There must have been a big log blocking the beer one day.

I believe Derek is currently working on a tutorial where he demonstrates how to cut dovetails with London style pins using one. It will also include a review of LVs new PMV11 chain saw blade.

Just speaking from the basis of may own psychosis, youtube has made me aware of stuff like this, and sucked my down their rat hole. It isn't the outlet as much as the inspirations for me.

[David Weaver]

Yeah, you and me, too. I think it's been the downfall of a lot of us. I got to bed earlier before it existed. I was also a lot stingier before youtube and forums came around.

Funny. That guy was in my mind as I answered David. That is the kind of thing that gets done because there is a place to show it, rather than stuff one undertakes to do because one saw it first on youtube.

[Joe Tilson]

I went out today looking for that 327 CI Chevy engine to build mine, but you just can't find a 327 anymore. Had to settle for a 27 CC engine instead.

[Kevin Nathanson]

One cut in 2.4 seconds? Kinda slow...

Yes, this is a professional sport here.

Will it be a comparison between a LV PM-V11 BU and BD chainsaw blade? Will it include the "new" style chain tensioner with knurled nuts?

Will he be doing any sharpening comparisons and sharpness comparisons between an original high-carbon blade, A2, and PM-V11? What about the finishing cuts of each?

Of course. I would have thought that would be obvious!

Also...you said knurled nuts! hahahaha

It's literally 10 times as big as a sport in australia and new zealand. There are community matches there (at least in some places) like we have community softball leagues here.

I'm not sure how hard peppermint gum is, but it's probably harder than the whitewood we use over here.

I'm not from australia, but I found out how big the axe sports are over there when I sold off a bunch of frictionite razor hones for George Wilson. Every one of them went to australia (as in they outbid every straight razor user) so that amateurs could use them to touch up their axes for competition.

[Joe Tilson]

One has to be really careful. Some of the most dangerous words in the world are: "Hey, Watch this!" Then the news media calls it an accident, Yeah, right!!!

[Adam Cruea]

Of course. I would have thought that would be obvious!

Also...you said knurled nuts! hahahaha

Thank you for pointing that out. I about spit my lunch onto my computer at work. :p

[harry strasil]

I don't think you will see one of these down in the southern US?

Thats sure true. About 10 years ago there was a story in the paper about a guy in Alabama who died from a rattlesnake bite. Seems he and a buddy got drunk and decided to play 'catch' with a live rattlesnake.

"Hey, watch this!"

Poor guy learned about Natural Selection the hard way.

Hey, I could use one of those. Last year I was running into problems because the snow was higher than the scoop on the snowthrower. Had to do it in two layers.

[Gary Herrmann]

Oh yeah? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brfKKehFtmw

Merikuh!


I'd probably do something like this if I had the time. Oh, and the skills.



LMAO

[David Weaver]

that would be the aforementioned predator. Odd that they quote the record over a video segment of a cut that's only about a third as fast.
