A TREE surgeon claims he rakes in up to £1,200 an hour trimming tree stumps with a grinder – but many don’t take him seriously.
The TikTok influencer, known as ‘chainsawman_tk’, took to the social media app to show his followers the complex process – with one user blasting the job as “easy money”.

The brief clip shows the workman trimming down a tree stump at lightning speed with the help of a stump grinding machine.
He adds in the caption: “Make $250 (£202) [in] less than 10 minute[s].”
The influencer routinely entertains his 50k followers with his tree-cutting prowess, but also films lighter-hearted clips including axe-throwing and assembling fun photo montages of his job.
However, not everyone is impressed with the tree surgeon’s technique.
In another tree chopping clip, one said: “I’ve worked 25 hours everyday for 35 years.
“You ain’t ever seen a real face cut before.”
Another joined in: ” Oh no, inexperienced way of cutting a tree down.”
Others, however, leapt to the workman’s defence.
One said: “Nice job, I’ve been working for a tree service since I was around 14 and this was very well done.”
A second chimed in: “Nice work big dawg some people in here no nothing about tree work.”
It comes after a former barista revealed how she makes an extra £7k a month by re-enacting scenes from her old job.
Meanwhile, one man shared how he went from sleeping rough to owning a Tesla in just one year.
