    There ain't nothing scarier than trimming branches above your head with a chainsaw, while standing on a 32' foot aluminium extension ladder...

    The lathe has a pleasant hum, that is very relaxing.
    Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

    Yeah! Like one of those extended chainsaws. Cut and run. Hopefully the right way!
    Even better. Extended chainsaw AT the top of a 32' ladder!

    Nowhere to run!

    I'll take your word for it...the relaxing part...
    You know the chainsaw and the tree thing...here is a pic of Bill circa 1992 just after he finished trimming some branches in a tree he had to climb, no gear, just up the tree...location is Mountain Home, Arkansas.
    I did not enjoy it.

    You don't look particularly happy, Bill!

    I would bet Andrew smiles while at the lathe a good bit.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
