    "There's always another level of expertise or detail in the tools we use, and whether or not we use it we're never sorry once we've learned it." True wisdom in those words.

    I've always explained your channel to other people as "The grandpa I wish I had to teach me the things I'm learning now". Both of my grandpa's were gone by the time I was 4, so I only had my Dad and my step-dad. They did what they could, but raising kids isn't easy when you have your own issues.
    I have two boys now that are still very young, 6 mo and 2.5yrs. My goal is to give them the Grandpa experience I wish I had as a kid. When they are at the right age to experience those lessons, I will ensure they have the opportunities to do so.

    I hope more people follow Buckin. He's so much like T.E.C., he's a bit distractable so his instruction can be a bit all-over-the-place TBH but his expertise and skill, is unrivaled as a production logger and general tree feller. Humble beginnings is an understatement. I wish all the success that comes his and his families way...His 'acts of kindness' precept also pretty darn important.

  • @michaeldougfir9807

    The first thing I noticed was, Billy Ray still has that old Mercury pickup. I thought he'd sold it.
    I have been using chain saws since the 1980s. But have never been brave enough to mess with the carburetor. Now I finally know the simple basics. (It did not come up that the demonstration saw is OLD, and a Homelite. So I take it that what he showed us is universal. Except for the new fuel injection saws... right?)
    I am impressed that he actually has room to work on his work bench.
    I like that Billy's wife was referred to as his Bride. My wife would not let me say that. Never knew why.
    Good advice about finding your way in life, and doing well. The Bible says in Proverbs that your most valuable possession is your REPUTATION. And this is how you build it.

    It's not just absent Dad's sadly. There are a lot who grew up with mean, hateful, belligerent dad's and they were taught that was what a man is. I grew up with a great father so I don't know for sure but it almost feels like the mean father is worse than no father. Not that it's a competition. So great of you to be teaching kindness. Thank you.

    My humble friend called himself an old saw-filer. Most of his business in later years was carbide sawteeth ground on a computer controlled all-in-one grinder. Before that though, his customers were often other blue-collar guys who complained about the price he charged. His reply was "Well, that's true alright, but I had to pay a plumber the other day and it don't look like my price can come down anytime soon" (of course plumbers could maybe afford a spiffy pro sharpening, but the warehouseman could hope for a discount.)

    55 year old fatherless child here. I've struggled mentally and emotionally EVERY MINUTE along the way because of it. It wasn't until I fell into a job chasing landing for an incredibly humble jippo logging family that I received my first REAL LIFE guidance in my early 20s that instilled work ethic and morals that have kept me from EVER being fired by anyone. It's the only reason I'm not homeless today. You two guys are a true inspiration, THANK YOU!

    Bought a new chainsaw today and I was thinking of the conversation at the end while breaking it in on some eucalyptus we lost in a storm earlier this year. Very important wisdom that I learned far too late into my adulthood. Some people would say I'm just getting started, but if I'd applied "You are your problem" sooner, I'd be a lot further along instead of still feeling like a failure to launch at 34 and clawing my way forward with what little resources I have.

    Scott, I'm one of those (used to be) young guys that didn't grow up with a father figure and found both yours and BBR's channels looking for how-to information. Along the way I also received a lot of that information + wisdom that was lacking in my youth. As such I am very grateful to yourself and all the other YT'ers that produce content such as yours and BBR's.

  • @medorakea7327
    @medorakea7327 Рік тому +1

    Thank you for that conversation at the end. As a kid, I was socialized as a girl, so I was never taught how to use tools or how things work, but now (at 28), I have a beard and pass as a guy. My dad was physically there, but not emotionally. I lived in fear of him my whole childhood, and I don’t think I’ve ever had an actual conversation with him. I just found my first chainsaw from a garage sale for free (string’s broken but I was told it works), so I’m trying to learn everything I can about chainsaws & how they work before I even go out and buy any oils or a new rope. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more excited (and scared) to learn a new skill, but I feel like I’m forging my own identity by learning how to do things like this.

    Love both you guys. True National treasures. We all have our communication styles and ways we learn best. Like it or not, and I don’t always … I’m a detail guy who gives and appreciates a thorough explanation that explains as it goes and connects the dots. Your instruction is perfect for me. I follow you and absorb 100% of what you say limited only by my reference of experience which is 5% of yours. I follow BB’s narrative a little and comprehend even less. I love his excitement and enthusiasm, and frankly his style as well, and respect it, however, his half sentences and disconnected thoughts leave my brain like a ball of knotted yarn. 😂 It occurs to me that my lifelong effort to connect the dots for others, and my expectation of having the dots connected for me when I’m receiving an explanation make me way more linear than I realized I was, and Billy is the polar opposite of linear. “Ya see? Ya see?” No! SHOW me! 😂 the good news is I’m wise enough to recognize a master when I see one, and you are both masters in your fields. So, I subscribed to Billy and will continue to work through and enjoy his content, even if it takes me five views to understand what others understood the first time. 🤷‍♂️
