I remember when I first got here and realised I was going to have to get involved with woody things and stuff and chainsaws and mauls etc.  I was quite impressed with myself and thought "If my friends could see me now".  This was mixed with some trepidation regarding the hazardous nature of the tools and the warnings I'd read that it was actually possible to kill yourself without trying too hard.  However, Courage mon Brave.  Take your time and if in doubt about any aspect of it, just stick a line on here.  The only word of warning is to not get complacent and remember, wood warms twice.  Once when you cut it and again when you burn it.
