The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

[Marc]

nice cutting marc, great photos.my cousins' name is marc after my grandfather marcellus. norm, good on the handle when you get to it. i read about your acorn caper hereabouts, glad you got things freed up. plumbing is not my favorite thing. always happens when you least need it.

Thanks. My name unfortunately has no such heritage. My mom liked the french spelling better, so that's what I got. That or she wanted to inconvenience me for life with the uncommon spelling.

My grandmother did used to call me Marcus Aurelius all the time and for a while I thought I was named after him.

Bob thank's for the story, great stuff! My animal's have been huge in my love, and my best friend's and biggesst part of my life, before Jeanie. Love em all, and lucky to have her now! Allyn, good deal man. The acorn caper LOL! Son of a B#### I hate plumbing my least favorite too! Like said I will take anything saw related any day!!! Im looking forward to next Saturday a long awaited boar hunt with the dog's, and this working man alot of hunt day's go hand in hand with the tree work. We are going to look at some problem tree's for the church property. The own a big chunk of one property we hunt, two actually, but since they let us hunt there two it combined both, and gave us a 550 acre loop. I will have to get some more tree work pic's, I have lost track on what I posted. In need of new one's, and in the mean time will go through the archive's, my scrapbook's.

Howdy to all of you fellow Muscle Saw Miscreants. I was doing a little catch up reading, and I saw that the fella from Portugal came around to seeing things in a more lighthearted manner. Which is great to see, now I don't have to drive Norm to the airport for his ass kickin' trip to Europe....LOL!!!!!
Way to recruit another person into the fold.....

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Good stuff Jon! How the hell are you? Here's more pic's from the archive's fella's. Quality not the best, they were from my first early model digital cam. I also took a couple pic's of old pic's.

Haha, newly weds such as myself have no need for the titty bar. Suffice to say I was properly relaxed Sunday night

I won't say I've not spent probably too much money in that place in my single days though. :drool:

I do believe when he started out, he was from Conneticut. Apparently he moved after stirring the pot. otstir:

Marc, you are wise to not come home smelling of bewbies ! :biggrin:

Congrats newly wed...haven't been there in a very long time myself.

Parmeter and me, in Cazdero the one of him in the fir. The other was us, and Bob with a dead oak leaner over a house, in lake county. Winch, and bull rope I put it right between two fence post's did no break either post.

And now for some stumps, for your viewing pleasure... the two white oaks.

Maple.

Red oak.

Red oak log. I think it's veneer quality. Hopefully that little imperfection in the middle is only at the butt. Don't worry, it isn't firewood. We'll probably get 2 10's, an 8 and a 6. We gotta talk to the guy that'll be milling it though, first.

Thanks for looking

Good job, and great precision sawing, obviously done with pride mate, and a nice looking log, glad your thinking higher grade than firewood. keep pics like those coming.

Man i would simply sh#t myself if i had to climb up like that in pic number 2.
brilliant stuff.....
I bet you blokes were very shaky ,(can think of a better word or two) the first time you fell the top off one of those logs.
I used to worry first few times going 3 boards up in the woodchopping ring.

rep refused again....

Marc, you are wise to not come home smelling of bewbies ! :biggrin:

Haha, some say wise beyond my years, but I still get the occasional "what's wrong with that boy" now and then too.

Congrats newly wed...haven't been there in a very long time myself.

Thanks. July 16, and man does time fly. Seems like it was yesterday. I married a gorgeous woman, but I'm just as ugly in a tux as in gaffs

Thanks for the compliments! I do take a lot of pride in my work. I've got a multi stem maple coming up soon, I'll try and get some pictures of that too.

Thank's Neil, and my buddy John was born to climb, I think you saw it when I started the thread, but I love the pic anyway. John 160 foot in a Redwood. Not even the highest he has been, but been awhile since we had to link two climbing line's together. PS I gott throw the one of him topping the big fir out again, it's one among the few he was climbing. I love them pic's.

If i had not seen all these pics, i'd of quietly said to myself, yea, yea more internet bullsh#t.
Thats incredable and i don't get sick of seeing those pics.
I hope you guys get a decent days pay for risking your lives like that, at least falling on the ground you can escape to a safe zone.
Please remember guys, most of you would have family at home so play safe.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Neil thank's my friend, I am glad somebody like's the pic's as much as I do, and appreciates it too. We love dong this kind of stuff, and our saw's, and skill's have put food on the table, and wood in the fire. Been welcome'd supplemenatal income. I would have more pic's with me in em, but guess who has the camera, and is the only one who take's pic's LOL!

Bump for the thread.

Last shift of the year so nothing going on. Spent all day reading the "Professional Timber Falling" by Dougles Dent. Finished the whole book a little bit ago. Was a Christmas present to myself as well as "Fundamentals of General Tree Work". Real good read, help make sense of a lot I have already read here. Happy New Years to all.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Thank's Brian same to you my friend! And I love both books too.

 

[ausneil 1]

Happy new near to you all, just finished tea and now onto stubbies and nibblies until midnight with my family. They got 2 movies to watch and of coarse we will see the fireworks.
Might seem boring to most but i worked all day and a easy night is for me.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Same to you Neil, and there's nothing wrong with that. I always get invited to a party or two very year, but usually Jeanie, and I just stay home. Boring is ok with me, and sitting on the couch watching movies by the fire will be too!
