Our hackerspace used to be adjacent to a foresting school. We often had "hacking" days [0] to prepare wood for our heater that would warm our space trough hacked together central heating[1]. One of those days the people of the foresting school saw us (mostly me probably) handling a chainsaw and it scared the shit out of them. Half neighbourly friendlyness and half fear of a chainsaw accident happening right next door to their school being bad publicity they offered us a free lesson in chainsaw handling and maintenance[2]. It was a fun experience and very educative and would be well worth the money you'd normally pay for such a lesson. I never knew there was so much to properly handling and maintaining a chainsaw.
