    I know this is an old video but I found your channel a month or so ago and have watched so many while stuck in my home.. You do know your business and your kindness is a great breath of fresh air, but the greatest part is you sound like my uncle Ben who lived in Moose Jaw
    , Saskatchewan, he has been gone 25 yrs now but like you, he loved the woods. when I was young he would come to see us in Washington and I believe he timed it so he could split logs with me and tell his stories. My folks loved the old wood burner from my Grandpas old farm so every year I split 5 plus cord of wood. Thank you for the reminders..

    Thanks for the cool videos man. This is the first/only channel I've ever subscribed to. Billy you have inspired me to start collecting/using old axes/old saws. I just purchased a pro mac 55, bartered for a 066 and I'm eying up 80/800 series mcculloch's. I've also started splitting firewood(oak) w/ axes rather then my normal maul. I hated the flick at first because I thought I lost all power/impact. But once I figured it out it's natural now.
    Keep on Keepin on man

    Pretty cool.. I had a 1948 McCulloch, It was a scrap pick up find. I tore it apart, cleaned it up. made 13 new hand mad gaskets for all parts. Spent a few day figuring out the fuel ratio and richness. Finally got it running and made a few cuts on a log, big heavey chips :)
    ... nothing like gear drivin chain on a old saw!

    good video pal. cottonwoods are a funny critter slimy, brittle, heavy ole things. Where I grew up in eastern oregon had a 7-8 footer alive and well in the front yard but man did it leave a mess for leaves and storm damage. The small town I went to school has some along the highway much bigger than above mentioned tree, I think the highway department and city had one removed because it was all rotten and starting to die...........hung over the highway and sidewalk, it was 13 ft 10 inches where they high stumped it to clear a nice 2×6 three rail fence.

(Feb 13, 2021) But at least I'm not watching them roast Tromp, poor guy. I've got the littlest Husqy they make, the one-handed tree topper. That's for pruning fruit trees. It doesn't have a compression release, and you have to stand on the hanger loop to crank it!

    These big miserable cottonwoods here in Montana usually have 4-5 tops in them at least 2-3 feet in diameter, and hanging out over structures or utilities. May have to dismantle from a bucket. Terrible to split and no good to burn. But those Oyster mushrooms that grow on them are good! Good work Sir!

    A question so I better understand. I had thought that when you create the two separate hinges on a tree with a rotted out center, that these two hinges need to be in line with each other. Maybe it's me not seeing it right, but it looks like your hinges are parallel, but not in line. If your hinges are not in line, is this an OK practice? Depending on situation of course. 12:35

    Quality video, keep it up. Only channel I tune in for on the regular 🙌🙌🙌.
    Question. Could you do a video on bar maintenance? I have a 32" bar on my big saw and it cuts like hell. Feels like the chain doesn't open up the cut enough and there is some pinching going on. I had this same issue a while back with a 25 and I could never remedy it. Ended up just buying a new one.

    • @michaeldougfir9807
      @michaeldougfir9807 7 років тому +6

      Tom Saad: Hi Tom. 2 questions for you. 1) Did you clean out the grooves on your bar? Use a groove cleaning tool that does not taper like a screwdriver. It does better. 2) Did you geease the tip of the bar? If it is not a Stihl bar you should find grease holes. Next roll the wheel or sprocket on the tip. Then send more grease through and out the ither side. This is for loosening up if needed, lubrication of course, and flushing out dirt etc. If the groove turns out to be just too tight then a saw shop can fix it easily. The last I heard, Baileys sold a bar maintenance tool for this. While you are there you may want to tune up the rails carefully with a flat file.
      By the way, are you sure you have the right chain gauge? The drivers come in different thicknesses. If it is .050" bar, an American dime will just fit in it. Roll it up & down to check groove.

    • @finksies23
      @finksies23 7 років тому

      Michael Dougfir Mike, Thanks for the imput. I cleaned the bar real good last night. She was loaded pretty good with gunk. My bar tip wasnt spinning good either and I got her spinning nice. Did a quick test cut, and I think this may have solved my issue. The chain sure is moving nice and smooth now, and I would think its going to oil much better.

    • @rbtree
      @rbtree 7 років тому

      Michael Dougfir, fyi, I have been running saw for 45 years...and don't remember the last time I greased a bar tip. Bar oil provides adequate lubrication. I dont recall ever having a bar tip fail, either, except from abuse.

  • @aah4764

    Hey Buckin,
    You mention "get the bottom" before initiating your first cut. What does that mean?
    Also, what do you mean by "Stay on yer buck. Leave no room for redirecting in big wood." What do you mean by that?
    Many thanks, from a new wooded-lot homeowner who just power-saw-felled his first one (dead but solid 10" oak) this afternoon. I used a borrowed Husqvarna 235 while I wait for my new Echo CS-590 to go on sale in a week. :)

      @davidkeitel5967 7 років тому

      it is miserable to split, with a twisted and homogenous grain. It ranks low in BTU's , burns up real quick, smells like piss sometimes when it burns, and produces a lot of ash. But if you have a good bed of coals going in a nice tight stove, you can put a somewhat damp or uncured big chunk in, damp it down good it may burn all night.
