    I love those type of videos where you talk about the gear, how you use them and then review them. It is thanks to you that I was able to start chainsaw carving a year ago! In the video where you review the Echo Cs 501p, you tell the audience about the carving bars and the 1/4 pitch sprocket and where to get them. You even took the time to answer my email forwarded by cannonbars about the quarter pitch sprocket. So yeah! I bought exactly what you said: an Echo Cs 501p to do about almost everything, a quarter pitch sprocket and a dime tip bar from cannonbars and oh! that was for me a total game changer. Both in safety and agility. it simply made my learning curve a lot less steep and a lot more safe!
    So I just came back from carving a landing eagle today and I thought I would take a moment to say thank you for the great content you put out there for us! it is much appreciated.
    Thanks Ryan and keep up the good work!

    I have been carving with the 2511 top handle for a couple years.. at the time it was the only one available.. it does give you popeye forarms... but man i do love it.. cant wait to get the battery rear handle..

    I differ about the top handle saws. You would not use a pencil holding the eraser & with the other hand pinching the middle would you? You must support the entire weight of a rear handle saw with your left arm.

    You can send me all your gas saws as battery saws come out. Starting with the 2511. I'll take em. Just trying to help 🤟
    (Seriously, send em)

    Nice Video Ryan, but isnt it that you have more feeling with a gas chainsaw because you can run the saw slow if you want? the battery always runs on full speed or am i wrong?

    Love the fact you give your honest opinion bro🤘, an yea top handle limits your movement & leverage from my very limited knowledge, Looking forward to seeing the Echo 2511 battery saw .Hope everything's good in your world bro.🤟

    Awsome, top handle is not a good carving saw but great as a home owner saw.

    Hello!! I have echo 2511 top handle saw. Is that uncomfortable and dangerous for chainsaw carving?? I consider buying new 2511 rear handle saw.

    Hi Ryan good video I am in agreement with you the top handle is a great arberist saw

    for me i personally I like to have the tool closer to my body and having my hands closer together. carving with a rear handle chainsaw yields the same results for me compared to a tophandle.
    in the end its mostly muscle memory.

      @@RyanCookCarvin im more of a dr pepper guy lol.
      i got started with cheap tophandle chainsaws because i could get the 1/4 pitch sprocket for it, as well as fairly cheap walbro carburators.
      After that i kinda stuck with it all my detail saws are tophandles still. higher quality but the same principle.
      for bigger sculptures esspecially doing high cuts above shoulderheight the rear handles work much better for sure.
      with a tophandle you would need to go higher up to make the same cut to have the same level of control.
      I mainly make small stuff though so for that i really cant tell he difference.
      I would just get whatever is most cost effective. esspecially when starting out.

    Can you make a video on how you haul big logs? I mean I can have a forklift put one in my van, but how do I pick something up that weighs more than 200 pounds? I can obviously roll it, but how do i pick it up while its laying on the long side and stand it up?

    Hey Ryan! I'm curious to know, was it a rim sprocket or a spur sprocket that was on it before you converted it?
    Just bought a battery powered Echo dcs 5000 and it's a 3/8 spur sprocket fixed to the drum clutch... I hope to be able to convert it to a 1/4 pitch sprocket!

    Oooo, I have the gas echo 2511T,,,
    It’s hard to hold on to!
    It’s a wrist turner!
    Not a carving saw.🫤
