Wonder if he screws an air hose into the spark plug hole and it doubles as an air compressor? ;lol

I guess he's never heard of an electric chainsaw? :rolleyes:

I think it is an electric motor running it MM.....not sure...
Notice he has a slight speech impediment at the end of his demonstration......

It's an electric motor driving a gas saw via a belt drive. Look closely under the table saw frame. :oops:




Heck yea it does!
Chit, I see the fanwheel there......:eek:;lol
I'd be tweaking that puppy just as you said....put an air fitting in the spark plug hole and make a compressor out of it, if nothing else....
Ahhh, the mother of invention.....gotta love it!!
 
Check out some of his other vids. The 1 where he uses a minivan and a snow plow as a turning lathe is outstanding.
 
I'll stick to my 19th century fine tooth backsaws & chisels or occasionally the bandsaw for the dovetails & my massive (yet very safe & stable) Record Coronet CL3-48 wood lathe for bowl & spindle turning,thank yuh veruh mush.
 
That's rough for me, even as a rough framing contractor.
I'm waiting for the pipe to get stuck and the back end to hit him in the head
 
Well, we can learn some interesting things at time. Some are also uninteresting....

This guy had better stop making videos while he still has all his body parts. Talk about an accident waiting to happen.

He needs a full motorcycle helmet and maybe a neck protector like a baseball catcher wears....... then some good chain-male.
