Thanks Norm. I do like that saw. Kinda special to me. The first 395 I had, first saw I ported. I've been through a few others and have sold them all.

Some more pics that I don't think I've posted before.

These are trees that I did myself.

 

[parrisw]

Another tree I did. Doug Fir, climbed it, topped it with 200T, dropped the stub with the 395, and bucked it with a 6401.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice work on those trees. How is everybody in the Working Thread? Keeping very busy here getting ready for the shop rebuild and cutting a lot of firewood. Also going to be getting the sawmill set up again here pretty quick to start milling my shop material. Going to be a fun project, I have a ton of poplar to mill and a few other trees of the pine and spruce variety.

Figured I'd drop in, Hi Jim and Norm, Hope all's well. No pics, to damn wet for a camera. Working away, snowing like hell. Picked up a nice little 372 and a short handled square head shovel. Pretty good little combo for the 3 ft of snow we've been fighting. Lighter is always better.......over the pig-headed, tough-guy days.
Sorry Norm, this ain't 660 conditions!
At least we are still working I suppose.

Hope you all are well - Sam

Thanks Norm, and you too! Hopefully going to Saltspring soon as well.

Sorry no pics but we did a job just up the road from my house today. Big maple tall skinny fir and two small cedars. Its a shame when you have to kill a big old maple like this one It was beautiful but it had to go and I am glad it was us to do the job. It was full of wind fractures and stump had some rot in it I love my job

Hello brothers, Jim Sam, Will, and fir not sure your first name but welcome the same. Good to see you all and hear the tales. Sam no 660 that is ok by me buddy I love my 372 as well! That is why I narrowed my saw arsenal to 70cc and up those 70 cc saws are a dream to run. No cutting this weekend friends from utah were in town, and the Boar hunting was good! One big boar down and packed on on mine, and Parmeters shoulders tired today! Will Saltspring sounds good! Jim good to see ya, and be cool for mill pics. Fir yep I am with you on the big beautifull tree part.

Norm, had the 372 ported this weekend and picked up one of those tec-light bars for it. What a nice little saw. For once I'm actually looking forward to Monday morning. Weird huh?

Have a good week all, snap some pics when things dry out a bit....If we don't get laid off first!

If that does happen, some Boar hunting sounds awfull good. There will be some fishing or hunting one way or another.

I have been coaching my friend Brandon in felling trees, these are all bug kill and we are in open forest so nothing to damage if tree goes wrong way. The only real problem is that he insists on using his 075 which about wears him out so he is only good for one tree. I usually finish up with the ones we are cutting for the day with my ms260 or ms441 depending on size of tree.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice to meet you Shaun! Yep agree with you and Sam, the 372 is very handy I love it! And mine I use a 365 too quite a bit at work Shaun and it is pretty impressive. Jim good pics man good coaching. Yeah I guess that is why the muscle class 6 cube succeded so well Jim. I never met a faller yet who could run a 84-880 75-76 3120 or 09 all day in timber, Maybe they are out there.

I am usually running around with my 260 and I know right away when it is time to grab a bigger saw.

good stuff jim, good to see you showing him some falling skills and well, if brandon wants to fall with an old 075 and long solid bar, i guess its not all bad and at least he can fall with one. those saws were used a lot out here and they were very reliable. maybe you could talk him into a shorter roler nose bar in 3/8, make it more user friendly, or let him have a go with that 441, them the old 075 will stay at home.

Should be heading back out this weekend, will try to remember to snap some pics, when the timber is hitting the ground it is hard to remember that I have a camera.
