Michael Parker lost his temper with Mark Reene and committed five separate assaults, on one occasion attacking him with a chainsaw.
In another incident, the 51-year-old gouged at Mr Reene's eyes and punched him in the face while calling him "thick" and threatening to kill him.

But the final straw came when Parker punched out two of Mr Reene's front teeth and skewered his left buttock with a pitchfork.

He lashed out at Mr Reene, punching him several times in the face, before hitting him in the groin with the chainsaw.
Mr Reene needed hospital treatment and a week off work to recover from the beating.
