    So many guys watch and think “that’s nothing” . You made it look easy. Great job, be safe.

    I love that, when it comes to trees, the diameter is measured in inches, and the length in metres.

      I wondered about that. I find it incomprehensible that the USA decimalised its currency right from square one but hung on to the contorted imperial measurements to this day, except for gallons which are smaller than imperial. Bushels, gallons, pints, inches, ounces, pounds and miles &c. Very confusing.

  • @haydenbretton2990
    @haydenbretton2990 11 днів тому +3

    Do the engineers that band those trees together have to carry a machine with them or is it dropped down to them by chopper. How do they get in to those locations without a pad?

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  10 днів тому +1

      They come in once a pad is made. It’s not the engineers that strap the trees but a separate crew. They simply use a pry-bar like tool to synch the straps tight.

  • @johnlipnicki5109
    @johnlipnicki5109 11 днів тому +1

    Thanks for all your videos Bjarne. Was wondering, is it possible to use some sort of laser attacked to your saw when lining up your initial aim? It is the 21st century after all...

    • @heatherfraserdaley460
      @heatherfraserdaley460 11 днів тому +2

      When Barney is showing his saw after he dropped it you can see a grey line running vertically up the case side. This line is 90° to the saw blade and is used as sort of a peep sight to know where you’ll be aiming your under cut. You’ll see him sometimes lean back and look to see where things are aimed when he’s making the first cut into a tree.
      Some times the simple solution is the best solution. Especially in the bush.

    @rooster3019 11 днів тому +1

    Bjarne, I am surprised that you are keeping the compression relief valve. You never seem to use it and they are prone to leak sooner or later. I guess the plugs would get hot too.

    • @RMosher11
      @RMosher11 10 днів тому

      I haven't had one leak on me yet. I usually eliminate them on smaller saws but on the big guys I leave them, when you do need them they are a Godsend.

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  10 днів тому

      Ya I never use it. It’s usually removed when I get Donny to Walkerize it but this time it wasn’t.

  • @alanwatts9232
    @alanwatts9232 9 днів тому

    Hi Bjarne, you could try one of those fresnel plastic sheet magnifiers, either stick a piece inside the lower part of your visor or on the card itself, otherwise bifocal safety glasses with the top part clear and the bottom part magnifying.

    • @BjarneButler

  • @1jeffkatt

    I’d like to know how long from face cut to the finish of the last log you bucked on last tree of this video. It seems it took awhile, but lm no logging, I just really like your videos and the scenery and gold paining.

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  6 днів тому

      Don’t really know. This was filmed on my last shift, so was a while ago.

  • @joegreenwood1443
    @joegreenwood1443 11 днів тому

    Do you think that "step" in the face cut alters the trajectory of the tree? In example; when someone puts a piece of the pie in the face cut to change the trajectory and throw it one way or another.

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  10 днів тому +2

      No because by the time the undercut closes together the tree is committed to its direction and the holding wood breaks soon after. 🤙

    • @MrMartinious

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  6 днів тому

      This area has never been logged before. The biggest trees are about 700-1000 years old?

    • @als1023
      @als1023 11 днів тому +1

      Worth depends on where you assess the value ,,
      finished cedar wood is ,
      I'm guessing , +$10K, @ 2,ooo bd ft ,,,
      Maybe someone else has an idea of cutout at the mill

    • @BjarneButler
      @BjarneButler  10 днів тому

      The straps hold the tree together to prevent splitting when it hits the ground

    • @user-bt6hh9yu1n
      @user-bt6hh9yu1n 10 днів тому

      It sounds to me like it’s so they can handle the weight moving it by air. He has a card the tells him what the preferred length x width. Too long and it’s unmanageable, too short and the buyer doesn’t want it. He’s trying to maximize value of the timber. The longer the better to a certain point, but the environment is dictating a few of his decisions. I think you might be confusing hard wood sawing practices with softwood.
