Im currently working on a tiki log that has taken me way to long. I´m impatient.
For my next bigger project I´m thinking of getting a chainsaw to do some of the bigger cuts and raw carving. I like to see results fast with what I´m doing.
It has to be an electrical because of the indoor workspace that i have.
What should i think of when buying one? Lenght of the sword (don´t know if it´s called "sword" in English), Number of watts, Is more expensive really better?
I´ve read something here about chain-oiling. manual or automatic?
The brands I have to choose from is most certainly not the same as you have in the US, but some general directions would be nice.

Thanks!
