Toes bared before what looks to be an 090 :jawdrop:

Jefflac02 · Jan 16, 2013

That is some pretty serious skill

Stihlofadeal64 · Jan 16, 2013

Intriguing to say the least...There are some skills it seems that are self taught.
The experts can chime in as to how or what was wrong with what he was doing,
at the very least he is "making lumber." :msp_w00t:

That was definately a different/interesting technique

Good video to listen to the sound of 4 stroking out of the wood... Then it cleans up in the cut. Very skilled man.

Nicely done. I like to play around with free handing stuff but that guy has me beat.

hoeyrd2110 · Jan 16, 2013

imagine how he could carve with a top handle! :dizzy:

i wish i had the balls or know how to try this

I wonder if he's not able to sleep at night, worrying about MM's or porting? :msp_rolleyes:

When I was over there a couple years ago.....I saw first hand some of the wood they have to work with over there....some of it is absolutely beautiful hardwood. Some of the craftsman that do
wood carveing of furniture are totally amazeing.
I happened to see a guy doing a tree like this one from about 75 feet away. He caught me out of the corner of his eye, smiled and waved at me.....the saw kept running!!!

If that guy does that on a daily basis...reguardless of his size...you probably wouldnt wanna throw down with him. msp_w00t:

Great video, i have always wanted a 090 but not one that made those cuts all day long

T0RN4D0 · Jan 17, 2013

I saw this before and its an interesting way of milling along with the grain (noodling). Respect for the guys that can make even shapes and for running the 070s the whole day. :msp_w00t:

I cut some firewood yesterday.... after 10 minutes my back was hurting.

The guy in the video must be one tough/fit cookie. Plus skilled like crazy.

My FIL 's current wife is from the Philippines . Some of her family came for a visit and built his 2 sons a treehouse used a Stihl 031 to make all the 2x4s . It was amazing to watch . They said that is how they get their lumber .

Well, you never know. He may be a descendant of the infamous "LapuLapu" ,whom was known for the demise of Magellan (sailing for Spain in 1521 )in that general area long, long ago :msp_biggrin:

an extract from wikepedia:
Pigafetta reports that the Christian king Raja Humabon sent a message saying that if they return the bodies of Magellan and his crew, they would give as much merchandise as they wished.
but Lapulapu’s immediate response was, “We will not give away the captain’s body for all the riches in the world, because his body is the trophy of our victory against invaders of our shore” :msp_wink:
