That’s uh… yikes. I love how he’s just in some random suburban area too. Neighbors must love him.

Regarding “Chainsaw On A Rope:” So the guy operating the camera is just a few feet away from the chainsaw that’s being swung. By a rope. In a circle. That he’s just outside of…

I thought “Lawmower On A Stick” was pretty good too.

I want this guy as a neighbor, but about 5 houses down. Near enough to watch but far enough that I think I’d be safe. Unless he decides to do “Pyrotechnics In The Car” or something.

As to the OP (sorry for the partial hijack) , Could you not do the rough out with a real chainsaw instead of the makeshift chainsaw blade? At least a chainsaw has the anti-kickback safety devices working in your favor.
