    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
    Appreciated. Thanks for the Knowledge

    Buckin I also thought this would be a funny shirt or something - "Get yer self a long bar. Stand up and buck!" And "Don't have a long bar? STAY IN THE BUCK!" lol stay in the buck almost kicked stand up and buck out of my head. Great video, thanks brother!

    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.

    And this is why I like a ground chain versus a hand filed chain. When I got a Simington chain grinder, it changed everything, because not only did the saw cut considerably faster, but it cut laser straight lines. Using a 36” bar, I could buck 6 feet trees and the cuts never ran off, and always came together perfectly, so the log fell away cleanly.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all you have taught me. I also want to thank you for your time you have spent creating all of these videos Billy. 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.

    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.

    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'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.

It would run amazing but as soon as she got hot set it down and wait 30 min cause it wouldn't start. I honestly think that's just an old sthil thing.

    Great video. I've had access to some big ash this year and only have a 20" bar. Definitely been guilty of the double buck.
    A great reminder of what not to do.

    Great instructional video that mate… 👍🏻 more of these I think… I’m sure everyone enjoys them and takes something away with them… a sound transfer of knowledge.

    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
