I milled some trees from my yard with a chainsaw and wrote about it. Exhausting but rewarding! (lemmy.world)

Nice. I've been doing it freehand on a log I have, and the going is slow. I haven't seen that adapter before, but I think I will get it to finish.

I find that I'm wore out before my batteries are all dead, so an electric saw isn't the limitation you think it would be.
