A couple of Irish lads were walking down the street, in search of a job. They came up to a wall upon which some listings were posted, with one catching their eye: "Tree Fellers Needed". One looked at the other and said "ah, 'tis a pity there's only two of us!"
There's a lot going on here that makes it wonderful. The aspect ratio makes the compositions really interesting, it's rare so see almost a 4:3 video. The exposure in some parts is just perfect - almost slightly under exposed giving it a moody feeling that fits the overcast day. The wide shots that linger as we get to see them working. Love it.
The soundscapes too! The rich rhythmic thuds, the crows, the chainsaws in the background. Lots of room for the sounds to breath and to transport you to the place and put you in that pensive mood fit for cutting down a half-century old beauty.
I think a skit where two people are fighting over a two man saw by taking turns pulling on it while there just so happens to be a tree between them would be funny
I remember doing this in the 80s as court ordered punishment, we'd start out with a standing tree and by the end of the day it was bagged kindling. All done with two handed saws, axes and wedges, bloody hard work and bleeding hands were normal.
yeah, we had an august storm here, none of my trees fell in my living "wind" fence, 30-40 year old trees. Full canopy. It either needs to be a sick and also the quality of the soil + how moist it is can make a difference. The different way they grow roots is really fascinating, if it is sand or clay also impact their direction/depth.
I am a blacksmith as well as a wood worker and I love your video's I find alot of insperation for my own prodjects from watching them. I have plans to replicate a lot of the antique hand tools you use and I am learning more and more.
You should consider writing a book with all of your different woodworking ideas. I think it’d be really cool. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us.
this video is so beautiful because its making me realize how much care and effort went into cutting down only one tree. when we live in a world where we have machines that can do it in only a couple seconds its very moving to see the process of really getting to know the tree before it is cut down.
Seeing the effort and time spent felling one tree here put me in mind of the settlers who came to my part of the globe in the early 1800's. Typical farm lots were 50 acres, at 5 shillings an acre. The purchaser had a three year grace period before payment began. So land had to transform from old grown mixed forest to something plowable in short order. Not to mention building the first rough house. A great many of these lots just north of me were settled by the Irish, reflected in the Irish place names borrowed from home. "The Black Donnelys" from Moneygall notable amoung them.
@@user-wy2fu4un8reveryone who came to America "settled" there at some point, be it 18th century or 18000 BC. I think that anyone who grew up in a certain part of the world, associates themselves with it and respects the local culture can definitely call that place "my part of the globe". No need to gatekeep something this petty
Thank you for explaining the logic behind the types of cuts you used to fell the tree. I've sort of figured it out over the years, but this is the first time anyone has spelled it out for me. I also appreciated the post fall analysis of how well the plan was executed. Cheers, lads!
I am impressed. That was a joy to watch. That man knows how to handle an axe. He's clearly working with some incredible tools. Beautiful workmanship and clearly sharp. The cuts where so smooth. No raggedy cuts here. There was purpose and efficiency in his work. I subscribed. Love to watch a good craftsman. Kudos!
Could listen to that guy talk about axes all day long. Met him at the Belmullet fair day. He's inspired me to make my own axe collection even bigger!!.
There’s something quite nostalgic about this sort of aspect ratio, it makes for a beautiful video. Good day to anyone here and we all wish you a better tomorrow :)
A pair of lads from Newfoundland, Canada, the MacCauley brothers, were out west looking for work and hired on with British Columbia Hydro Corp as power pole setters. The Newfie lads had no experience setting power poles but were good strong boys who would give their all. The foreman announced to all the crews that this week there would be a contest. The crew that erected and set the most poles would get a weekend pass, and an all-expenses paid stay in Vancouver. The crews excitedly rushed to their assigned locations and went to work. At the end of the week, the crews assembled in the mess tent for the Forman's Tally. "The Barns boys set 12 poles, good job, boys. The Smyth team...18 poles. Nice. The MacCauley lads... 5 done. Better luck next time. But our winners, the Andersons have set a new record with 25 power poles set. Congratulations, the prize is yours!" The elder of the two MacCauleys shouted out: "Tis all good and plenty but Foreman, did you see how much of the pole they left out of the ground?"
Only just recently found (and subscribed) to this channel. And even though I know close to nothing about woodworking and carpentry and the like, your passion and love for what you do are absolutely contagious and inspiring!! Im already a fan and can’t wait to see more!!!
I loved hearing all your friend's insights on the art of felling trees :). He explained it really nicely. Also the fact that you don't have the most HD camera quality ever is actually way more enjoyable :). It doesn't make your videos feel mass produced
Takes me back to the late 80's working on a YTS for British rail, with me mucker Ray. Had a few like that at the chateau impney,droitwich. Loved shouting TIMBER 😁
one day after xc practice in high school maybe a dozen or so of us went to a rotting tree we ran past and spent at least 3-4 hours across 2 days using any small rocks and pointed, sturdy sticks that we could find to whittle through the tree. it ended up getting caught in all the branches of other trees and we never got to see it fall. thank you for letting me finally see a tree fall all the way down
it usually makes me sad to see big trees like this being cut down, but knowing it’s you and it’s going to be made into something awesome, im not sad (:
I just axe felled a 50' bull pine down with a 100lb 5'5" 28 year old woman who would make you think differently about that. I think what you refer to as a limp wristed little Weasle you mean some one of weak mind and lacking drive. Not someone small in stature.
@@mrwhobodiggzyeah it’s about endurance. I’m strong and I train a lot but I haven’t really done cardio. I used to be REALLY out of shape but now I’m strong and flexible. Despite this I still wouldn’t be able to chop a tree down because I still havent done any cardio. Now given literally just a weeks training at my age? I’m chopping that fucking tree down. But will I do it? Naaah I wanna get stronger and more flexible so I don’t injure myself running
Your channel has been an absolute pleasure to watch. Your content is so unique and well done! I like the old ways, there is something about the connection you have with the task when you do it the old way.
I felt like I was right there with you helping to do the back breaking work but I never had to shed a drop of sweat. Watching others work is so satisfying but also a bit exhausting. I'll down another pint for both of you. Thanks for the uplifting video experience. Another day well lived men!
I’ve seen plenty of trees felled with chainsaws, but never with axes and handsaws. It’s interesting to see how it’s done especially as the first part was done by eye and judgement. We even got a lesson on the internal workings of a tree.
I'm currently working on restoring an old Bulgarian bearded axe. Just at the stage where I have to shape the ash handle and it's kinda daunting I must admit. Hopefully some day it's as effective a tool as some of the beautiful axes in this video.
Your hand work has a similar angle to my blacksmithing. Old fashioned, involved, quality, and it really involves you in your craft. You can walk away feeling like you've made something truly unique, with a personal touch. It's simply more fulfilling to do it the traditional way.
Found you the other day from youtube shorts, eoin, and I'm loving the content already. I hate to hear people are trying to steal your content, but all I'll say is to just keep going and going and dont let it get to your head. You're doing fine work
Looks like quite a lot of graft, but seems massively less dangerous than using a chainsaw. I would however prefer it if you lads had been wearing some eye protection when swinging that axe. Those massive splinters would make such a mess of an eyeball. Plus its nice to know that the timber will be put to good use. Its so nice to watch an expert doing what they do.

good ooone
@@pedroclaro7822 that's what I thought, I just take "fellas" to be two or more so it didn't quite hit for me, thanks for the explanation!
Old ones are the best
Never thought I’d watch a vid of some fellas chopping down a tree but here i am, and quite entertained too. Thanks mate.
...me too, and at 3 am as well! 😢😂😂
It is interesting what we find in our later years to be interesting... nice hinge has a whole new meaning
Nothing to be ashamed of ...
have you tried sawmill videos yet?
Now you have the knowledge on how to do it
This is like oddly beautiful cinematography like the shots and angles in here are amazing for just two guys chopping a tree
Not just oddly, it WAS beautiful!

I think Erin’s day job is as a photographer? Maybe his experience is showing its hand here.
I think a skit where two people are fighting over a two man saw by taking turns pulling on it while there just so happens to be a tree between them would be funny
Then a third guy comes along and keeps placing logs in between them
that would be exactly some charley chaplin looney tunes type tomfoolery
omg that would be so funny
Happy to see the wood being claimed by craftsmen for proper use
Great chess wood, great lute wood.
Watching these video's got me eyeing up every tree I see. "Hmm that looks like it'd make a fine handle"

It's amazing what an honest days work can do for the soul, lol wouldn't like to be doing it every day though
Whatcha do?
@@larkop6504 never said they stopped doing whatever it was, lol. But probably a safe assumption that it wouldn't be viable anyway.
I always find it fascinating how insanely sturdy and strong trees really are, it takes A LOT before they actually fall.

I hope you never change your camera, love this footage, love the work you do, you're awesome Eoin.
do you know what camera he used? :)
Nice work. I was exhausted after just watching the first 5 swings! That tree sounds SOLID!

I'm glad you're still with us, felling a tree without knowing what your doing is a deadly pass time
And may the sun always shine on your back, young fella....

The tree has an incurable fungal infection called "Ash Dieback". It has to be cut down or it can spread to his friends
@@nich.894oh, cool 👍🏻
@@nich.894now that i rewatch i see that i missed that somehow
In ideal conditions, a cut tree can actually sprout and regrow into another.
Dunno how this video got to me but I couldn't look away! Learned a little and laughed a little, thanks!
What a better way to start the morn than a cup oh cof, a muffin and a tree felling video.
I love all the info about the tree he gives.
its nice seeing old tools being used
These videos are just so relaxing to watch after work, ngl.

Well in 5-10 years time this will be around 5-10m views if not more, watched this after a few drinks on the Monday the 18th of march at 10:48pm.
Nice Job! I think it would be interesting how long each step took in real-time so we would get a better feeling for the work you've done.

Best 18 minutes of my day
I have been looking for a propper video that shows exactly this, thank you for sharing this, Eoin!
Fascinating video, skillfully executed, real hard graft, well done chaps.
This is one of those videos that will get 75 million views. I’m glad I was here when it has less than 50k.
Great to see a couple of old tools getting put to work. 😅
Michéal's precision with an axe is extremely impressive
Also you're a natural cinematographer Eoin, some of the shots in this video are just gorgeous

Cool video
I enjoy the shorts videos you post, so its nice to see more indepth and lengthy videos. Especially on felling trees by hand
Just watched a couple of lads fell a good lookin tree with a good old fashioned set of tools. And it was very nice
This is a very calming and interesting video. Also it felt like I was watching a chronicle from the eighties (thanks to the 3/4 ratio)
Ur videos r great and ur personality is amazing ur a great man God bless please keep the video coming thank u
Good stamina on the axe . Most people would be out of breath
A fantastic video Fellas!
In the navy and Im currently doing a full week of nothing, your videos are helping me get through this time on land
good ol' hurry up and wait
Oh….and damn the tree sounds solid!

Your friend has the best irish accent ever.
As someone who grew up in a place where we don't have many trees to fell, this is pretty interesting. Thank you
Excellent work. Fantastic content 👌
Such serenity
That is one dense and tough tree! I'm amazed at how little damage a full swing of an axe does to it
Always nice to see people loving their work.

Almost to 1000000 subribers amazing works guys!
Great show, brains and muscle required 💪
Keep the good work up 👍
Looks like quite a lot of graft, but seems massively less dangerous than using a chainsaw. I would however prefer it if you lads had been wearing some eye protection when swinging that axe. Those massive splinters would make such a mess of an eyeball.
