Oh well. I think its stupid. I would rather watch a bare footed Phillipeno rip planks with an 090 . Free hand.

Any idiot can backcut a tree. .
Talk about the dumbing down of America

Maybe you should post of cutting a blow down using a ladder pinching your blade ...............




Well maybe not ,keep doing what your doing ,the people that know what your doing will appreciate them ,would be cool to have more pro's doing this ,almost like a documentary . Unless you have done the work you do ,they have no idea the sweat that goes into it
 
That's me. Mr Sweat Alot. I like to work good and hard in the summer. I can't work that hard in the winter. I breath hard if I'm doing anything. And I frost my throat and lungs. Whogot their bar pinched buckin blowdown on a ladder. . A ladder would come in handy fairly often.

For a tub a lard it seems I'm pretty healthy. Got my BP checked this morning at the hospital/ clinic 112 over 78 .
See, beating wedges is good for ya.

Well #### Glen, now I feel like a real a-hole. Not trying to put a dark spot on your videos or work. It was fun stuff to see and its even cooler that I know the guy who did it. I criticize the hell out of my own work and often look back thinking how I could have done things differently. It can easily rub off on here. For some reason I had a #### week of cutting. The worst in a long time. I lost two trees (one was rotten and one I pushed the holding wood too far). I haven't lost a tree in a long time. Had to walk out to the truck twice to grab a saw to cut out( haven't done that in 6-8 months I'll bet) and had to use my lifesaver bar from my pack once. Got #####ed out by a neighbor of the job that I killed two 2 inch trees when one that I lost crossed the boundary. Today I had a u-joint snap and tear a coolant line off. By the time I got to it she pissed out all of the coolant. I ran to town to get supplies and a big ass storm kicked up. Boo-hoo right? Just logging as usual. Your videos were great Glen and I shoulda kept my mouth shut! Carry on man. You were putting wood on the ground when I was still ####ting myself.

But, enough talk about last weekend. :laugh:

Sorry Bob . they don't have a smiley face of my with my head up my ass.

My eye hurts like hell and I'm p.o.d that I wasn't swinging danger trees away from the power lines today @Sheep Mountain.
But in no way were those comments directed at you. I was just rootin an bellerin
.
I sorry you had a bad day too. If it makes you feel any better. One day I got dead hung up 4 times from noon to 2 pm. . I mean get Dan to come buck me out. Impossible to wedge out hung up.
 
It's a pulaski with the ax end cut down. Then you weld a piece of flat iron to it. The thickness with of the iron will determine the weight you want.

I got me some X-tree Pulaski heads outside. . . I should go make a butt ugly wedge axe out'a one and post it on here. :msp_mellow:

Theres not much more irritating than a chip in the eye. Hope your weekend fares better! No problem man just making sure you knew I meant nothing by it.

there was a u-tube Gologit posted a while back ,i cant find it now ,a guy in his back yard on a ladder trying to cut up a tree that blew over ,was in fast forward speed ,kept getting his bar pinched ,was rather comical to watch ,looked a little dangerous too

guys that are like in that one video are referred to as culls around here ,have no business running power equipment

if someone has that video it will help my description i was saying better about the "Blade " being pinched

Hey I was just looking for it. I think it got pulled...it was in the Arborist 101 titled something like "is this any of you guys". I can't find it anymore. I know exactly the vid and it was riddiculous. You are talking about the derps that strapped the tree down and were pulling towards the ground in the middle while pinching their bar every 2 seconds? Fricken hillarious! The one guy kept walking under the tree. Finally they got a cut made but seemingly left the top half hung up towards the neighbors?? LOL! I was blocked for leaving any more negative comments on the vid. They had several other vids..#### I wish I could find them...
 
That was pretty funny Bob. I did read the disclaimer but I did laugh hard and the wife was laughing pretty good too. :laugh:

I did make a stump today. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow. I did have to stack wedges in on it. :msp_smile: Sorry no video. Maybe next time:laugh:

Yup, that video should have been titled "How many dumb mistakes can two guys make and get away with it?"

By the way, I'm still using that semi skip tooth chain that you sent me with the Stihl Lite bar.
