I have been cutting in my carhartt doubled up lined overalls but I've looked at the chaps. Seems like a smart investment. I think you convinced me. I dont drop trees, but I'm a bit of a pyro and love taking hardwood to season for the fireplace. Its been a great spring for that. Lots of wood on the ground. Of all the tools I own I believe this is the one that I'm most afraid of, I think it should stay that way. Thanks for the reply.
You are welcome. Didn't intend to make you fearful of the saw, just respect what it is....a dangerous tool. Respect it and take proper precautions and you'll be fine.

No boat, back in the suds.
