Bruce, those are amazing! It seems impossible that those are done with a chainsaw, even though the pics prove it!

the welding gloves you use are pretty good for protection, but you might try the stainless chain mail gloves butchers use. The larger ones can be worn over leather gloves for a bit more comfort. I don't know if they are any better than the heavy welders gloves, though.

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement, especially from so many talented people like yourselves, very inspiring.

Al, I thought of chain mail gloves, but I wasn't sure what would happen if the grinder got caught up in it, plus I'm not sure how comfortable they'd be with the extra weight. the grinders get very heavy after awhile. Thanks for your input, gives me something to think about.

That's a great piece. I'm sure it will get a lot of attention from passers-by.
