Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labour used with hand tools.

The most common types of power tools use electric motors.

Internal combustion engines and compressed air are also commonly used.

Other power sources include steam engines, direct burning of fuels and propellants, or even natural power sources like wind or moving water.

Tools directly driven by animal power are not generally considered power tools.

A lawn mower (mower, etc) is a machine utilizing one or more revolving blades to cut a grass surface to an even height.

The height of the cut grass may be fixed by the design of the mower, but generally is adjustable by the operator, typically by a single master lever, or by a lever or nut and bolt on each of the machine's wheels.

The blades may be powered by muscle, with wheels mechanically connected to the cutting blades so that when the mower is pushed forward, the blades spin, or the machine may have a battery-powered or plug-in electric motor.

The most common power source for lawn mowers is a small (typically one cylinder) internal combustion engine.

Smaller mowers often lack any form of propulsion, requiring human power to move over a surface; "walk-behind" mowers are self-propelled, requiring a human only to walk behind and guide them.

Larger lawn mowers are usually either self-propelled "walk-behind" types, or more often, are "ride-on" mowers, equipped so the operator can ride on the mower and control it.

A robotic lawn mower ("lawn-mowing bot", "mowbot", etc) is designed to operate either entirely on its own, or less commonly by an operator by remote control.

A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action.

Machines are usually powered by chemical, thermal, or electrical means, and are often motorized.

Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a machine.

However, the advent of electronics has led to the development of power tools without moving parts that are considered machines.

A chainsaw is a portable, mechanical saw which cuts with a set of teeth attached to a rotating chain that runs along a guide bar.

It is used in activities such as tree felling, limbing, bucking, pruning, cutting firebreaks in wildland fire suppression and harvesting of firewood.

Chainsaws with specially designed bar and chain combinations have been developed as tools for use in chainsaw art and chainsaw mills.

Specialized chainsaws are used for cutting concrete.

Chainsaws are sometimes used for cutting ice, for example for ice sculpture and in Finland for winter swimming.

Someone who uses a saw is a sawyer.
