I was a sawhand in the log woods for quite a few years and I guess running a chainsaw got in my blood. I love to hear a chainsaw run and smell the mix of the oil, gas and fresh sawn wood all combined at the same time.
Yes, there is something to that isn't there. I have milled several beams with a chainsaw and a heydon lumber maker. Which is nothing more than a piece of channel iron with a 2x6 guide, and they turned out quite nice.
