Five guys, five chainsaws, and one very unlucky sycamore tree apiece.

Dude Perfect’s “Overtime” series has built a whole cottage industry out of taking backyard stunts and cranking the stakes to absurd levels, and episode 29 does it with actual power tools. Tyler Toney, Cody Jones, Garrett Hilbert, Coby Cotton, and Cory Cotton each get handed a chainsaw, a set of safety gear, and a massive sycamore trunk, with two hours on the clock to turn raw wood into something a judge can actually score. It’s a “Get Crafty” challenge — the group’s recurring segment for arts-and-crafts stunts — done in partnership with Bass Pro Shops, and the guys themselves call it one of the toughest “Get Crafty” builds they’ve attempted.

• Five Dude Perfect members each get a full-size sycamore trunk and a strict two-hour window to carve a finished sculpture from scratch.
• The chainsaw carving challenge is a “Get Crafty” segment produced in partnership with Bass Pro Shops, with judging held immediately after the two-hour cutoff to name a winner.
• The episode also brings back “Wheel Unfortunate,” the group’s long-running punishment-game segment, alongside the headline carving competition.

The Setup Behind the Sycamore

The premise is simple and brutal: no prior carving experience required, just raw sycamore, a two-hour clock, and a chainsaw that none of the five have any real training with. That gap between ambition and skill is exactly what makes “Get Crafty” episodes work — the group has leaned on the format before for oversized arts-and-crafts stunts, and this one ups the danger factor by handing amateurs power tools instead of paint and glue.

Bass Pro Shops’ involvement gives the segment its outdoorsman framing, tying the stunt to the kind of gear the retailer actually sells, but the comedy comes from watching five guys who are used to trick shots and sports challenges try to become sculptors under a countdown clock.

Two Hours to Make Something Worth Judging

Once the clock starts, it’s every man for his own trunk. Each competitor has to plan a design, rough it out, and refine details before the buzzer, all while managing a tool that doesn’t forgive hesitation or bad angles. The video leans into the chaos of that mismatch — sawdust, mishaps, and five wildly different approaches to what “art” means under time pressure.

Billed by the group as one of the hardest “Get Crafty” challenges they’ve tackled, the two-hour sycamore carve turns five amateurs loose on chainsaws with a judge waiting at the finish line.

Judging happens the moment the two hours expire, with a winner named on the spot — no do-overs, no extra time, just whatever each guy managed to pull out of his log before the deadline hit.

Wheel Unfortunate Makes Its Return

Beyond the chainsaw segment, episode 29 also brings back “Wheel Unfortunate,” the punishment-game staple that fans have wanted back in the rotation. It’s the kind of recurring bit that gives “Overtime” its variety-show identity, sitting alongside one-off spectacle segments like the carving challenge rather than replacing them. For a channel that has also built entire episodes around oversized stunts — see their World’s Largest Challenge video or the record-chasing World’s Longest T-Shirt Launch from a later “Overtime” episode — mixing a physical-danger segment with a punishment-game callback is exactly the pacing “Overtime” has leaned on to keep each episode from feeling like one long stunt.

Positioning Within the Crafty Lineup

Chainsaw carving is a noticeable escalation for “Get Crafty,” a segment that’s usually about creative competition rather than physical risk. Handing five non-carvers actual chainsaws and a two-hour deadline pushes the format closer to the danger-stunt territory the group has explored elsewhere, like their World’s Most Dangerous Escape Room video, even though the goal here is still a finished sculpture rather than survival.

Whoever walks away with the win gets bragging rights over four other guys who just spent two hours white-knuckling a chainsaw through a sycamore trunk — and the next “Get Crafty” segment already has a bar to clear.
