I have already stopped using a chainsaw. I am still almost as strong as I ever was, but lets face it, chain saws are an accident trying to happen. I buy my wood. If I need to cut something, I use an old buck-saw inherited from my Dad.

In a decent apartment these things will never be a problem.

Haha
You are right about chain saws and all sorts of basic hazards around
the house. I can see a hundred things from where I sit that could potentially kill or maim. Or, take my late lamented motorcycle.
That is pretty dangerous too. I am all done now, but rode many thousands of miles without a scratch. Anyway, it's like Al Pacino said...........
