About Johnston Performance Chainsaw
Johnston Performance Chainsaw is a US channel run from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan by an engine modifier who ports and fabricates professional chainsaws. Most uploads are Shorts under a minute showing a modified Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo or Makita saw cutting ash, running on a dyno, or racing at events such as Peshtigo and Sawpalooza. The channel posts about once a week.
Viewers are probably hobbyists, loggers and chainsaw racing fans in North America; these are estimates. The channel has about 29,900 subscribers and a median of about 1,700 views, with occasional Shorts above 20,000. Videos promote the creator's own porting service at jpsaw.com.
Brand work is limited: one video credits an event promoter, and no paid integrations are visible. Because Shorts views are cheaper, the rate rule lands at the $150 to $250 floor per video, a CPM well above the $10 to $30 typical for paid ads at this view level. Best for chain, bar, fuel, tool or outdoor power equipment brands.
