Good ole boys and saws

[shoot501]

Before I tell this story I want you all to know it is the truth, told to Me by two good old boys I met at an auction Tuesday. I was looking at an old junked out Pioneer when these guys started telling Me how they used to make a living cutting firewood and what saws to use and so on. I wasn't paying much attention to them until they told Me how to keep cutting after My chain dulled or got rocked out. You see after your chain is dull all you gotta do is cut from the under side of the log or limb, that way you are using the top part of the chain that's still fresh! Learn sumpin new ever day.

I had my saw brought back to me a few weeks ago. He'd gone through 4 tanks of gas mix....found some fencing wire with it while he was cutting. I asked him if he had sharpened it. He said 'no', and assured me that it was plenty sharp.

:angry2:

i believe.. heck i get stories mixed up
put part o one happening with part of another happening.. im aware of it ,,cause ioll hink about after i lay dn at nite..still funny what they said tho..

Was gonna ask these guys if they learned that trick over at the GW site but thought better of it. Didn't wanna make em mad, they might be friends of Fish and get me booted.

Did he also claim he didn't use any bar oil "because there was already oil in the gas"?

No...he 'borrowed' the gas too. Probably best that way.

Che the few times I do loan out saws, gas and oil go with them.

Call me an a$$ or whatever but there is only ONE person that I would even consider loaning a saw to and thats my next door neighbor who happens to be a retired red wood logger. There wouldn't be any point to loaning him a saw though seeing as he has as many saws as I do! Including a 084 with a well used 60'' bar. Have you ever noticed that when you ask someone if they know how to use a saw the response is always the same? Then you watch them pick one up to use and it take them a few seconds to figure out how to crank it

"Then when that doesn't work any more, you can hold the saw upside down."

That works and then you can rock the saw back and forth to find all those little sweet spots that haven't been buggered yet.

I feel the same way. If I am asked to loan out a saw, I offer to cut the wood/tree for them.

You'll have to pry my saw from my cold, dead hands!!!

Unless, your going to gas it up for me!

i can't say ive ever loaned one to someone.
I let the guy that works bucking logs at the yard use one of my saws one day.
but i trusted him with it, he has an 038 magnum he uses and uses well. It broke down(mount busted) in the morning, i let him finish the day with mine.
