If you like crafting with branches and sticks a pole chain saw can be a great addition to your tool stash. The Sun Joe Electric Pole Chain Saw is a great tool for trimming trees and branches for crafting and yard maintenance.

This pole chain saw is super easy to put together.

Using the single tool that comes with the pole chain saw you can pop off the nut cover and unscrew the nut which releases the blade area.

Following the easy directions I placed the chain on the chain holder and then on the saw body.

Then put the cover back on, adjusted the chain tension and tightened the nut.

I filled the chain saw with the proper oil and was ready to go!

Here is the second branch I cut in the video with the pole fully extended. This branch was waaaaaay over my head as you can see in the video it took just a second for the awesome Sun Joe Electric chain saw to go through! Be sure to always work carefully with proper protection following all safety procedures!

Here is an example of a fun 3 legged stick table I made using branches.

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Let’s talk about a quiet little hero in the kitchen: the humble trivet. But not just any trivet — this set of 4 recycled plastic square trivets is a modern, minimalist dream made from 100% recycled household plastic. Yep, the same plastic that might’ve ended up in landfill is now protecting your benchtops in style. That’s a win.

I have to admit, I get a little thrill when practical things are also eco-friendly and just plain good-looking. These remind me of the ones I picked up at a zero-waste store in Melbourne — sleek, colorful, and almost too pretty to put a hot pot on. Almost.

Each one is handcrafted in small batches, with flecks of color that tell the story of what it used to be — lids, containers, maybe even your old shampoo bottle. It’s like modern terrazzo meets sustainable design. Perfect for gifting to a housewarming host or just treating your own kitchen to something that feels good and does good

Why we’re obsessed:

  • Made entirely from recycled household plastics

  • Each piece is uniquely speckled and full of character

  • A perfect match for eco-conscious kitchens, minimalist decor, and zero-waste living

Small item, big impact. And every time you set down your coffee pot or casserole dish, you’ll get that sweet little “I did something good today” feeling.
