Good age for a saw

my x nixed teaching my son when he was 12... I sent her a video of an 8-year-old running a huge farm tractor.. so it all depends.. when the kid did take his first cut, he idled down to finish the cut perfectly.. I remember thinking, how did he kow to do that. Some kids pick up everything so set a good example for them.

An idea:

Cut off all the teeth on an old chain and talk about positioning and allow revving and mock cutting a limb.

Run the toothless chain in the kerf and such.

Move to a real chain when ready.

That's just stupid.. even for YOU!
