Chainsawga Part 4: Sawdust Satisfaction & Slabs Galore

In Part 4 of the Chainsawga series, the final cuts are made, and the satisfaction of a job well done is clear. From ripping through an 8-foot-long oak with a brand-new chain to piling up enough wood for not one, but two tables, it's a big milestone in this ongoing project.

𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
With a 3-inch cut, the process goes much faster compared to thicker slabs, saving time and energy. In any project, adjusting your methods for efficiency can lead to quicker progress without sacrificing quality.

𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴:
The importance of using wedges becomes apparent as the wood is cut. Without wedges, the weight of the log can bind the chainsaw and slow things down. It’s a reminder that a little preparation can prevent bigger issues down the line—whether it's wedges in woodworking or proactive planning in life.

𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁:
The durability of the tri-link chain is impressive. Cutting through oak seven times without needing a sharpen is a testament to the right equipment’s longevity. Good tools may come with an upfront cost, but they pay for themselves in the long run by lasting through tough jobs.

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱:
The primary goal of the day—to cut enough wood for a couple of tables—was a success. Celebrating this victory is key. Sometimes we get caught up in the work, but stepping back and recognizing progress keeps the momentum going. Plus, it's always nice to wrap up in time for dinner!
