Chewing wood with hand tools ?
No No No !
It must have an engine attached.
Personally I would attack with a chainsaw if there was a serious amount of wood to remove, just like those travellin types, who carve mushrooms and eagles from bits of tree, do.
Then I would move on to a hand held electric planer and finally a belt sander.
Course, really serious wood moving requires a digger ....

P'raps i could make a wee digger out of Lego to mine some timber off it. I could sellotape my swiss army knife on the front to make it proper awesome.... Or - just pop it in yer Pit O Gravy for a measured time until about half of it dissolves. 2 minutes should do it by the look of it!   |

It reminds me of a rather unpleasant scene in Scarface...

seriously,a 9" angle grinder with a sanding disc can remove an awful lot of wood with little effort

This is the way ! A really neat setup to remove the bulk. A chainsaw is a brilliant tool. Youve got to respect it though. A 9" sanding disc on yer 4" grinder ? now theres a thought  |

happy new year fair frotts,
i note your blade manafacturing and i am wondering if this is a good idea.perhaps it might be better to order a set of variable pitch babies while you get your wooden ones honed to perfection,??

I reckon pushing the saw away from you is easier than pulling it towards you, for prolonged use. You can just lean into it a bit. Throws the sawdust away from you and theres more chain oil where its needed. He could easily use the bottom of the bar, with that setup, if he wanted to. Make a CNC machine out of Lego and a Dremel? RepRap Well impressive EA. Thanks for the link. Saw a video of a cnc machine in Jay Lenos garage that could layer up 3d scanned shapes in ABS plastic, good enough to mould from and cast an accurate duplicate. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/02/jay_leno_will_lead_the_3d_printer_r.html |

variable pitch babies I feel a "Child Protection" issue coming on here.  Tell me, where do you get them from and, when they grow up, do they produce more energy?  My experience with the little bu$$ers is that the definitely do. Billy.  |

I've got one of these. It's absolutely lethal (fits 4.5" angle grinder) - Heavy leather gloves required in use! I carved an Easter Island head out of Oak in about 10minutes with one of these. I've always considered Oak to be pretty tough, but it was like cutting a block of margarine. http://toolmonger.com/2007/07/16/chainsaw-carve-with-your-angle-grinder/ |

In desperation I once put a 16 tooth circular saw blade in a 5" grinder. It did the job very well but it is definitely not recommended.
Incidentally why doesn't everyone use 5" grinders? That extra half inch lasts as long as a normal 4.5" disk.
More importantly whats happening with this turnip then?
