The search for chainsaw bits is not looking promising. Here's hoping everyone will be too distracted by boobs to notice how shitty my chainsaw is.

On the upshot, I did just find a makeshift over-the-shoulder shotgun holster at Home Depot, of all places.

I hope you don't mind suggestions, I used to troll Home Depot all the time in my Team Projects and Research days in college so problems like these are like a trip down memory lane for me.

I have an idea on how you can make most of the chainsaw, except for the blade. You could use a gas can for the body with holes cut out for the arm and blade. For the cuff where the chainsaw meets the arm, use a duct reducer (air duct section of Home Depot). The blade has me stumped though. Best idea I could come up with is to cut the shape out of a sheet of cardboard then glue aluminum foil on to the sides and wrap a bicycle chain around the edge.

Hope whatever you go with turns out okay.

Well, you can actually buy a replacement blade at most home supply stores. That's the easy part. And I'm fine with the crappy chainsaw I have - if I'm gonna spend the money making another one, I'd rather make one that looks real. Thanks tho.
