Hahaha. He's like the 3 stooges all rolled into one. :laugh:
Was that the infamous HBRN?
Fortunately I was buisy durring his time here and managed to miss it.

Andy

I miss that guy, he was always entertaining..............and a living testament to why, stupid people shouldn't breed.
 
maybe start a thread with a compilation of all his worldly vids , pic's and wisdom. ................. with a extensive disclaimer. just for entertainment proposes only.:msp_wink:
 
He is not only one - handing a big saw at full throttle, he is reaching under it to catch sawdust -- with his fingers an inch or two from the chain going around the sprocket!!

I finally got the right cover for my 046; it had the wrong one (too small top to bottom), in that the chain was running nearly flush with the bottom edge. Needless to say, I would never have put my hand anywhere hear that area, with the old or new cover -- not much different from putting your hand near the bar.

It did seem tha he had his beer parked just off camera on the:msp_scared: stump.
 
I'm not hiring right now, but I'll keep...I'll keep...I'll. Aw hell, I'm not gonna lie. NO! I don't want him within 100 miles of me.

Andy

Okay...but he's a helluva hand. You can see that in everything he does. I just didn't want you to miss out on a great opportunity. Besides which it would get him even farther away from us than he is now.

You're sure you don't want to make a noble sacrifice, take one for the team, that kinda thing?
















Damn, it's hard to type when you're laughing so hard that your eyes are watering.

Ask a man to do something like that! You should be crying.
No, I don't want to take one for the team. I think the team should take one for me.
When ya gonna let him start Bob?

No, I don't think that would be a good idea. My doctor told me that I need to avoid stress and try to eliminate aggravation in my life.

I think we're both looking at this wrong. Instead of logging maybe the kid needs to go to work for one of the government agencies. I'll bet Madhatte could give him some pointers. Maybe he'd even hire the guy. Yeah, the more I think about it the better it sounds. Nathan could actually mentor the guy, work with him closely every day, have lunch with him, spend days off on extra assignments with him. Man, this could be a real turning point in the kid's life and Madhatte could take the credit for turning him around.

Madhatte...you out there? Madhatte? Madhatte? Dammit, I don't think he's answering his computer.
 
Now if the producers of Axmen saw that video i am sure they would put him to work........

Does he really think that that is impresive? i mean really????

I KNOW you didn't just type that. There's no WAY you would do a thing like that. That would be CRUEL and UNUSUAL, and most likely UNETHICAL, as well.

You guys have been out in the woods too long. This guy is a real artist - already has 51 YouTube videos to his credit. Successful too - he has an assistant to hand him wedges and carry his sledge hammer. He has a vintage boat to go with his vintage chainsaws and his 1968 International 4x4 pickup. I admit he needs to work on reading the sawdust with his hands - he should know by now what dull chain sawdust feels like. And he needs a little work on his limbing. But he has the makings of a top notch faller - like any good pro he dropped his saw to quicken his escape (I am sure it was just TV though when he ran straight behind the falling tree) - he uses his head in leaving for another a pine that was "hung higher than a horse thief". He even climbs. Fortunately the tree he was going to climb fell over before he got there. Strong as an oxen and determined as well - he spent a good two minutes longer than I would/could trying to crank an old MAC 7-55. Too bad it didn't start. I wish he had posted a video of how he square grinds with a round grinder - maybe that will be shown in his chain sharpening sequel.

Funning aside, he sounds like a decent guy - I just hope he doesn't get hurt. Heck, if Oregon wasn't so far away I would invite him over for a Saturday. I'm sure I could come of with something productive for him to do.

I have never met HBRN, aka Skotty, but we did have a pleasant exchange via PMs before he was banned. Yes he is a decent guy. This whole thread is kind of disgusting.
 
Yes he is a decent guy.

Agreed. I tried very hard to encourage him to clean up his act so that a ban would be unnecessary, and I know him from elsewhere on the internets. He's definitely a nice guy. This has been discussed elsewhere with similar sad shakings of heads.

This whole thread is kind of disgusting.

Disagreed. We're having fun here, and both AS and YouTube are public places. If I post something in a public place, I'm looking for criticism as much as or more than I'm looking for praise. We are acting in this thread within both the spirit and the letter of the law.
