I am so lucky to get free wood.
Even in a well insulated house I use a lot.
This lasts about 10 days with the AGA running the other end of the house.
I have to make 2 or 3 cuts per length.
Mix of soft and hard woods bone dry.View attachment 340885

Are you sure that table's strong enough for all that wood?

I like the foot pedal on the chopsaw.

An aga? That's posh!

Surely you employ a trusted family retainer to cut it for you?

I like the foot pedal on the chopsaw.

It only weighs 800kg
My welding table usually.
The problem with the chopsaw is there is no little button to lock the trigger. Gets very painful. Cable tied the trigger and use the foot switch. It's great.

If you look I have an extension pole on the handle. Treat it with the utmost respect!

Or an asteroid caves your head in, when you're not looking

I was merely pointing out a potential of which I am sure you are aware. But as your on buisness premissis, should the unfortunate happen to someone other than you, I suspect one of Parms collegues may insert one of those bits of wood into your rectum metaphorically speaking!

You would probably prefer the random asteroid option.

Only done on weekends when no staff present. And outside as well. Too much mess otherwise.

Sadly though he is right.
Elf and safety is rife these days. Common sense vanished a long time ago.

One could argue that with the onset of vastly improved Elf and Safety has aided the reduction in common sense. As many seem to think its someone else's role to look after them and tell them what do, do so they dont get hurt.

Just Ask @Parm on that front,

Sometimes you have to think outside the box, for one's self

A lot of folk would be hard pushed to even find the box, ne'er mind think outside it.

Im not getting involved as elf n safety is always the whipping boy

However, i do very confidently know what the outcome will be if it ever goes wrong with that chop saw

Can someone be prosecuted for hurting themselves? As a private individual?

No, but the set up in the picture is not in someone's back garden, then there are members of the public to consider

It doesnt matter if the wood ultimately ends up at your home, the activity looks like its on a business premises

It is outside my warehouse in a shared carpark. Perhaps I will move outside another unit. Gates are locked on the weekend and the saw is never left unattended. Only I use it. I have a very healthy respect for it.

This does seem like a very large can of worms that has been opened

You wouldn't think there's an energy crisis at my work..
About 20 of these massive gas heaters above and there all on.
