pink Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 A little scared, too. I didn't think it right to ask one to take a picture first when they thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, a self-portrait wasn't possible. You're welcome to use mine. (chainsaw kicked back, went airborne, and flew into my shin while working on a log railing.) shin, it's what's for dinner.

Sherri Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 If you like gristle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Your pic didn't seem to indicate the presence of much gristle. Besides, it'd be like chewing jerkey anyway. And I love jerkey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, a self-portrait wasn't possible. You're welcome to use mine. (chainsaw kicked back, went airborne, and flew into my shin while working on a log railing.) Yeah, blood and chainsaws. I went to the emergency room a couple times over that one. I've taken one employee and a former boss to the hospital because of chainsaw cuts. If you're going to use a chainsaw a lot in the woods I recommend kevlar chaps. You can get kevlar gloves too. Nice woodwork despite the blood rmncwrtr.

sobo Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 ...I recommend kevlar chaps... Are they available in assless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Dude they're chaps. They aren't a fashion statement. You wear them to protect the most likely part of your body to get tagged by a running or idling chainsaw chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Kurt, C'mom, man. It's me you're talking to. I know what chaps are for. I just wanted to pick up a pair, but I wanted the assless variety. sickie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to pick up a pair, but I wanted the assless variety. sickie Actually I bought a pair of Husqvarna kevlar pants, but I only wore them a couple times since they're way to hot to wear and get any work done without sweating quarts of water. The kevlar is only on the front side though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 OMFD you guys. A guy tries to make a little joke about and what does it all become? Yeesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Nice, Sobo. Just don't sneak up behind him with a chainsaw. Feck, I was given a pair of those Husky chaps as a get-well gift after my accident. Good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
