    Awesome Video, It is very rare these days that a Man has Humbled himself enough that even with an instructional Video it comes naturally to say "This is
    What I would Do" Instead of "What You Need To Do" That's great and is

    I loved it Buckin, thanks! My favorite part of these types of videos is when you suddenly pause in the middle of a cut, and look straight at the camera with this look on your face that says "do you see what I'm showing you? This is what I was talking about. Did you get it?" LOL

    Thank you BR.
    I'm almost 70 but never had to cut Big wood until this year when I took on a Tulip Poplar removal for the wood. The Tree was already down but cut way oversized and every piece was hundreds of pounds......vs my 125lbs. - lol. I didn't know about really Staying in the Buck, keeping the Bar on line and in the wood, and have done my share of Double bucks.
    Thanks to your easy explanation and Visuals I think things will be much easier in the future.
    I'm not investing in a Big Log bar saw for the few times one might come in handy, but My 62CC does a nice job spinning up a 22" chain. It has handled up to 38" rounds and even does a decent of noodling if needed.
    Love the Videos and the Lessons that come with them.

    My technique is the second expample you showed in the beginning, and I came to use it by watching and listening to guys that knew better. It took much practice(work) and a few pinched bars before I was able to quickly buck almost any tree with a 20" bar. Great video, Buckin', this stuff makes a huge difference to people still learning.

I also like to note,, per buckn's advice,, folks out there, take ur time falling, big or small, be aware of ur surrounding, make a minute plan, tree leans, which way ur fall, utilize ur wedges if need be, understand high n lows of ur cut, and look up often,, remember folks trees don't weigh 2 pounds,, Be Safe, and Take Care,, As BRS says - WORK HARD, BE HONEST WITH OTHERS AND URSELF, BE KIND,, isn't that the damn true,, thanks again BRS, God Bless....

    Great lesson. I only wish you made this video when I was cutting a 25' tree down at my house that had three large trunks like you are cutting and a 6' diameter base. I cut the whole tree down and two feet under the dirt with only a Stihl 026 with a 20" bar and a Stihl 193T with a 14" bar. Lots of chain sharpening and many double cuts😝. Clearly I wasn't staying on the buck, but I eventually learned what you are teaching here only the hard way.

I never owned a chainsaw untilll about a year ago now I feel quite comfortable on it and have dropped several trees. Just completely cut up a sugar maple with a 40"plus trunk over the weekend with an electric Makita battery operated saw. Took quite a few batteries but it all went well. We are now completely hating our house with wood this will be our second year. I have a brand new furnace 98% efficient that I never use because you have inspired me with the firewood Buckin.❤ You'll always be the chainsaw King to me 👑

I always start out good but I wouldn’t stay in my buck and do exactly what you showed us to be wrong. I am not a pro just really like saws for some reason. I remember loving the sound of the old macs, huskies, and stihls when I was a young kid 4-5 years old.

  • @sharkman8810
    @sharkman8810 Рік тому +2

    I figured most of this out by trial and error before your video, but it helped solidify what I came to through experience. Something I'll do is sometimes stick a small wedge or two in the cut to keep the log from pinching the bar. They can also be used to bang in and break the round off the log if you cant quite get to the middle, just a few inches of wood.

    I'm not sure that only repeating "stay on your buck" makes it any easier to understand what it means... I'm still not completely sure I understand, but I guess you mean that I shall stay in my originally started cut to keep the bar going straight through, as opposed to starting a "new"/semi-new cut elsewhere on the circumference and risking not aligning up with the first cut?

      No that isn't what it means. He means keep the bar (chain) on the cut you previously did along as much of its length as possible, instead of rocking the bar back from the cut for an easier position, and keeping only the front part of the bar in the kerf. By keeping close to the last cut position, and then cuttting while bringing the angle down, you stay in the plane of the previous cut.

    Nice!
    Keep ur bar on the same plane, throughout.
    Use your buck/cut as a guide, throughout.
    Listen to ur power tools…
    Felt like I did a good days work watching you become one with the saw…
    👍thanks

    good advice, never thought about that. I think I was changing the direction of cut to get the chips going down not thinking about double bucking. Thanks

    Thank you for sharing, I was actually just looking how to buck with a short bar
    I’ve got a 60cc rancher but a small 18in bar

    Not super surprising that Buckin's short bars all look brand spankin' new. 😀

    Your Husky sure runs better than mine. Most cantankerous saw I've ever owned. Oh, for my old Homelite...

    I did residential tree work for some years I used this technique everyday… if some one was on the big saw or the big saw goes dull… pick up the small saw and start cutting… whatever it takes to get the job done
