Here is my plan, and please correct me if any part of this is wrong. I plan to buy a electric chainsaw at Home Depot and purchase a separate carving bar. As far as the saw, I am wondering what Horse Power is recommended. I have seen 1.5HP - 4HP. I assume the more HP, the faster and cleaner it will rip through the log. And as for the carving bar - dime/quarter, I have read that you can use a standard chain (as in the stock chain that comes with the saw) on the quarter bar but NOT the dime bar. All in all I need the saw, an extension chord, and the bar - correct? Any modifications or changes when putting the quarter bar on? Appreciate the help. -PutiTiki
