ok, John. this is the correct way to hold a saw. Pay some Goddamn attention for once, will ya? 
either right handed or left handed. 
and you don't need eye or ear protection.
it's boring and you can't hear
the blade turning. when you go to cut wood, attack it with your foot holding it down like you're holding down a hippy. 
this saw is a Husqvarna 362 and is bad ass. the Swedes made good saws and good clogs. 
their hockey players are pretty good too, but nothing like Canadian players. Swedes won't fight either.Spaz
Spaz on Chain Saw Sculpture
i see one of your contributors spoke of "chain saws for sculpture". this is possible , but in my mind not fag art , like ice sculpting. look at this beautiful mantle of oak i carved with this saw. Canadiana and won't melt. then you can hang all your deceased dog collars from it. at Christmas it's the most authentic hearth on the block .. with hanging stockings. 
that gun is my great grandfathers. i smuggled it across the US/Canada border a few years ago. i built the fire place too. these rocks are from the creek. no one knows how to do this anymore , especially Cal arts animators who think they're tough
