Guys with lathes are better than guys that don't have lathes I reckon.

Every man and his dog has a chainsaw nowadays. Think my twin even has one.

You could remove the chain and bar of your chainsaw and adapt a normal chain or belt on the engine to power your lathe. That would make it a two stroke lathe! And at 15000 rpm she will be smoking! :-)

But I couldn't see what I'm doing for the blue two smoke.
