Did you watch it....it couldn't hold your attention? If you have no interest, why would you even bother to ask what I hope is a rhetorical question? It is in the Home section, and is for people who own and use chainsaws. I liked it, as I have a Husqvarna saw. What is your beef?

I've been doing a lot of chainsawing over the past 20 years....ever since we moved to 40 acres of forestland, and I started using a big outdoor wood furnace for supplemental heat in the Winter. I'm now on my 3rd saw...started out with a Stihl 036, then a MS 271, and now a MS291. I wore out the piston/cylinder on the 036, the 271 became very hard to start this past fall, so I used some "stimulus" money to buy the 291. I still have the 271, and sometime this Summer, when it's too hot to do much outdoors, I'll see if I can fix the 271, and keep it for a backup. If not, these sell for a good price just for the parts on EBAY.
I have an endless supply of wood, and probably go through 6 or 7 cords/yr. Not only does that save me a bunch on the electric bill, but manhandling thousands of pounds of wood every year helps keep this old body from wasting away.

lol - I've owned and wore out several chain saws, but can't imagine anyone wanting to watch a tedious, almost hour long, video of somebody repairing one. Jeebus.

"The first chainsaw I owned was years ago,
an old yellow McCulloch that wouldn't start.
Bo Bremmer give it to me that was my friend,
though I've had enemies couldn't of done
no worse. I took it to Ward's over to Morrisville,
and no doubt they tinkered it as best they could,
but it still wouldn't start. One time later
I took it down to the last bolt and gasket
and put it together again, hoping somehow
I'd do something accidental-like that would
make it go, and then I yanked on it
450 times, as I figured afterwards,
and give myself a bursitis in the elbow
that went five years even after
Doc Arrowsmith shot it full of cortisone
and near killed me when he hit a nerve
dead on. Old Stan wanted that saw, wanted it bad........".
