[bars] Rope Chain Saw

[Richard Amirault]

I have a similar one. This appears to be a decent one. There are some with
cutting chain that are less effective.

The last time I used it .. it was a branch higher up than in this video ..
and I made the mistake of trying to cut three or four feet away from the
trunk. The saw got stuck *and* while trying to get it unstuck .. I pulled
off one of the handles.

I finally did get it unstuck .. and the branch broke at the cut a few days
later.

I would replace the rope leads with stronger rope and maybe make new
handles.

But, that said, it does work. Just, if at all possible, cut next to the
trunk. The branch will not flex up and down while you are cutting it.
