Chainsaw

A few months ago I posted photo to TN, naked and holding a chainsaw - to get strict warnings in the photo comments about how dangerous chainsawing naked would be; I had to explain that the photo was just a joke. And then... I was at the computer this morning when my husband directed me to the front door, where our WWOOF-program working visitor was waiting for some direction about what project to pick up. I hobbled out (I'm in PT for a knee thing, mimimizing walking) just to point him on his way, not bothering to suit up for work, and we made our way to a head-high avocado stump, that needed to be cut down lower and then given a final, smoothly angled pruning cut. I told him it would be easiest to do the first cut with a chainsaw, then the second clean cut with a sharp Japanese hand saw. Talked myself into a corner on that one, since I knew the visitor had no interest in learning the chainsaw. So to get him started, doing as little walking as possible, I sent him back for the chainsaw and did indeed use it naked. Successfully, no body parts inadvertently removed. But I'm not gonna make a practice of it!

Steve - that was might bold of you! In my family I am known for doing lots of crazy things naked (my daughter is always yelling at me) but chain sawing is not one of them. I always put on full kevlar pants, helmet, facemask and hearing protection.
As an aside, I stopped doing the WOOF program last year because the quality of the interns just got horrible.

Most of the time I use a chainsaw, I am naked.

I did it once to say I did. But did wear safety glasses. It says no loose clothing and I figure I am not that well hung

I've never used chainsaw as such, but have used a weed eater frequently in the buff. I love it when something flies up and hits the old nut sac! Don't always happen, but disappointed when it don't.

Ive used one for years, but never nude until last summer. There is a stream that runs through my property, and downstream there is a fallen tree in the middle with lots of brush backed up. I spend time wading in the water nude, so I took my chainsaw with me and cut a bunch of the brush to help the stream flow better. Why get in the water with clothes or even swim trunks? Makes no sense!

Most of the time I use a chainsaw, I am naked.
