    I've felled and processed logs of all sizes for 50 years, mostly for firewood, and have no respect for, nor will I watch, any of these "Internet wonders" who make videos doing chainsaw work in *shorts*, let alone without eye or ear protection. Sorry, but it's just stupid. And newbies watch and think it's OK to so the same.
    I'm no "safety nazi" and have taken my share of risks over the years, but this is just dumb.

    Something odd about how the saw penetrates the tree when he does the mortise and tenon cuts, almost looks fake, like it was photo shopped or CGI;d.
    And he's an idiot for his attire and lack of safety gear.

    Why the fake sound?

    And why when the saw idles, does the chain remain a blur like it was revving up?

    Yes I will stand directly in the path of the felled tree making some of the 245 precise cuts needed to fell the tree in this fashion. In my shorts and tee shirt safety gear.

    Why use safety glasses when you can squint really hard!?
