This old card is 65 years old and still puts a hell of a pile of wood on the ground. I always listen and keep my trap shut when a feller like this has got something to say about cutting.

Badass, thanks for sharing.

My chain cuts like doo doo after watching that guy.

Nice cutting.

Greenwedge is the ground pretty dry in your parts?

I hope it's just the camera angle that's making that bar look so close to your left leg.

 

[paccity]

looks like the angle, good eye on that . don't want to get bit.

I didn't see that in the picture until you mentioned it Bob.

I do remember though I had quit cutting before I pulled the saw out.

Will be more careful.

No problem. We just don't want to see you earn the nick-name "Stumpy".

A while back I watched a video somebody took of me while I was cutting. Scared me to death. I was doing some goofy, careless stuff that I hadn't even been aware of. It sure showed up on the video.

A guy tends to get complacent after he cuts for any length of time and nothing bad happens. Being self confident with your work is important, in fact it's essential. But complacency will kill you quick.

You're doing fine. Hang in there.

Words to live by and it applies to many fields .
Take the time to read a few WCB accidents reports in you field of choice and see how it relates to you and your work practices and try to remember them .

Absolutely. If we can learn from others' mistakes, we may not have to make them ourselves.

I'm not a pro by no means, Just a firewood cutter. But i hope you guys don't mind if i post this here. If so i will remove it.

A friend of mine wanted this dead Ponderosa pine cut down. He wanted it cut in eight foot sections. He's gonna mill something with it. It had a bad lean toward his house, so i put my winch on it for extra pull.

I notched it to fall where i wanted it too and it did. I have a bunch of pics to load of it. So anything you guys see in the pics that might help me get better, Please let me know. I can take the critizisem too.lol So let me have it.

I did cut the stump flush to the ground for him. Guess i should have cut the tree closer to the ground too.

Here it is delimbed

The 036

Buckin it up in eight foot sections. There were five of them and probably thirty more feet he didn't want.
