You can see Bob's PPE is more than reasonable and the only time anyone else operated the saw was when it was under full control in the log get a feel for the operation. All are wearing eye protection and ear defenders. The saw is even modified to direct the sawdust away from the operator not that anyone has lost a foot from a boot full of chips.

    What is missing, tinfoil hat?
    Safety glasses would be good, shield better, the mills still spit chips and dust. Fully covered clothing also, but visitors can't have everything.

    Cheers Neil. We didn't get much cutting done and then the rain set in which put a bit of a damper on things so we retreated to the veranda for a BBQ and beer.
    Thanks for hosting the event Gavin, maybe look at doing it again sometime.

    Yes sorry about that . Did not Know only bobL was starting and finishing the cuts. Just saw one person with shorts and one with chaps. I have seen people wearing thongs, (flipflops ) not the other type. Though the chain could break and fling about at any time I suppose. I have only seen two break and they were old chains. I am sure Bobl's chains are in good condition.
    I am learning, slowley.

    Don't bet on it!

    The risk of anything happening regards chain breakage even when stopping and starting is very low. Remember when milling the bottom of the saw where a broken chain might normally flick around is now on the other side of the operator. I've broken about 6 chains while milling. All have been non-events with the chain just falling off the bar and laying in the kerf. I'm not saying nothing won't happen - just that the risk is real low. I wear chaps when milling because I was prepping the log and that's when they are really needed. I'm also demoing and like to show best practice.

    Awesome - I suspect you will be cursing me and hopefully thanking me in the same sentences . . . . . .
