Crazy build while I wait for warmer weather

Chainsawwed off shotgun. I’d like to borrow that to clean up some ivy around here.
 
Please mount a 3-9 scope on this and show up to the range on opening day of deer season to sight it in.
For best results I should use one of those deer arrow dummy things, dump a mag at it then charge it with the bayonet and cut it in half.

Someone on Facebook said I should demo this with one of those gel torsos with bones and organs, but those are alas way outside my price range.

Got a couple of cosmetic finishing touches on the way.

Mesh basket to cover the motor that sticks out one side, while letting it air cool

Chainsaw dog to make sure it doesn't slide around while I saw through the ribs

Once those are on I likely pull the whole thing apart for paint and/or graphics. Makes me glad I designed it to come apart so I could adjust/maintain the chainsaw parts.

No pics because apparently I lost them, but I got the chainsaw dog altered and riveted to the chassis for extra pointy bits and I added a mesh cover for the motor for ventilation without bits getting in. I also partially covered the hole in the business end of the housing to reduce debris intake.

Pretty much just figuring out how to cover some gaps in the lid (made the motor hole too big) and stripping it down for painting at this point!
