Grinding without safety glasses! :shock:
Just thought I'd mention it

We live on the edge here in the states!
There's a trick to staying out of the arc of the grit on that grinder, but safety glasses would be a better trick.

Just don't make us get a license to use a chainsaw! I'd hate that! One of the modern man's pleasures is working a good-running Swedish saw once in a while without having a license. Used to be peeing outside, too, but that seems to be discouraged as rednecky these days!!
(re that grinder, it's got an umbrella-ish shaped shield on the inside. If you stay to the left of the wheel a little, no problem).
Well, I'm 'in the weeds' so to speek, or on the fringe of the weeds, and use a chainsaw often enough to be fairly proficient but not often enough to not be scared to death by it...consequently I have all the safety gear. Of course that PPE wont stop a gum tree falling on top of me!

I think the English folks require some kind of training to use a chainsaw, right?
As someone who has ended up under a tree in my youth (and suffered a broken leg because of it), and who had a great uncle who died from a kickback (though he was a legitimate woodsman ,and this happened before PPE was necessarily a thing) I can say with near certainty as a citizen of the states that there is no reason for any safety measures around a chainsaw.
