Matt Boast talked us through the safety procedures for using a chain saw. Covering
Clothing from Head to Toe and safe ways to cut and hold a saw.
He finished up with a graphical
low down on how a chain works with some giant links that realy showed clearly.
Later on at a small table he demonstrated methods for stripping down a saw and
explained the best ways to maintain it and keep it safe.

After Matt's engrosing talk we had an extended coffee break and members had a chance to quiz
Matt in more detail.
There was also a lathe set up for people to have a play on and Tim
did a quick demo on bowl production (under the watch full eye of newsletter
editor Roger Marsden.)
During this time members had the oportunity to study and
vote on the entries for the "Frank Clarke Memorial awards"
