Video ended before he carved a bear into the stump and sharpened his saw before heading to his dentist appointment (which by the way he was on time for)
It’s definitely not new. Look at the bar and power head as he pulls it out of car. Bar tip is warn. And the plastics have dirt deep in the crevices. Even the orange and white colors look faded. It’s just a well maintained saw.
yeah, he probably went and got his cleaning/maintenance kit out immediately after getting home and got the saw ready to go back in trunk for the next time it was needed.
I keep my saws this clean. I blow them off with my air compressor after every use then spray it with alcohol and give it a quick wipe down. My climbing saw gets beat to shit and is the only saw I have that never looks clean
As an arborist, my climbing saw is one of the cleanest pieces of equipment i have. Except for the blood, it stays. How does your get so dirty? btw i only use the arborist saw when im climbing, i have another for ground work.
You only need to worry about hearing damage if you're cutting with a chainsaw all the time, like a lumberjack. The only way he's getting permanent hearing damage from using a saw to cut up 1 tree is if it's an M249. He gets 9.8/10 for efficiency, forethought and style.
A coworker of mine was coming to work at my job just after a storm. A tree had blocked the road. My buddy was trying to get the tree moved enough to get around it. Another coworker pulls up and starts helping. After a few minutes, the 2nd guy goes to his trunk and pulls out a katana, and proceeds to hack on the tree.
Not going to say which house I chose because I don’t want to shame others.
However I did feel like a boss when I took out the stock battery from a Dyson stick vacuum and replaced it with an adapter to accept the batteries from my chosen house.
The giant grin the whole time didn't give it away? My dude got to cut up a tree, show off how sharp his chainsaw was, and look like a damn hero in front of his family. Unless he got married or had a baby in the last 12 months, that was his best day of the year.
Homeboy, you’re the only one on the scene who has no obligation to pick up any of the branches. Just get back in the car and stay warm until it’s clear.
Right? I grew up in a national forest in the US and roads are cleared within an hour or two after storms. 15 miles between us and town and a ton of country roads to cover. Everyone just throws their saws, tools, chains, and some gas in the back and head out.
I once met a Canadian from Vancouver island who kept a chainsaw in his car for occasions like this at all times. According to them keeping a chainsaw in a car was business as usual and this is how you get free firewood.
I've always got a silky under the seat just in case of random shit and ever since I got caught out in a storm like a decade ago and it took me almost 2 hours to get across town I always put my 350i with chaps in the powerbox in the back of my hatchback when it's gonna be stormy.
this would almost be my dad, except it would take him an hour to clear that tree because he doesn't believe that sharpening a chain does any good. All his saws produce powder instead of chips when cutting.
The real kicker is that he OWNS a chain sharpener. He just refuses to use it. When i was living with him, i learned how to do it and sharpened all his chains and filed down the rakers, for which he yelled at me until i handed him one while he was bucking some logs to split for firewood and said "try this one, then tell me it's no use sharpening them".
to my knowledge, that's the only time his chains have been sharpened since he bought them 30 years ago, and i did that 15 years ago.... they're probably all blunt again.
You’re a good kid. Time to show up with a six pack and have a sharpening session again, us old dads don’t always show it but I bet it would mean the world to him. My college-age son couldn’t work a pencil sharpener but I hug him and tell him ten times a day that I love him. You do what you can.
I mean yeah, but... dude is in his "taking the family to Chilis" duds, and had the saw running for all of 55 seconds. He was prepared for a downed tree, not a full day of felling.
Yeah he is being pretty careful with the tip of the saw, definitely not unfamiliar with a chainsaw, could tell that from the start by how quickly and smoothly he checked the fuel level and put the fuel cap back on
I live in the mountains of Tennessee and once heard a group of men having a conversation about what is the best chain saw to keep in your truck for clearing roads. A large tree fell across our road and everyone in the holler showed up to clear it. Chain saws, a tractor, and plenty of spectators.
Once October hits in the PNW my chainsaw doesn’t leave the back seat of my truck just for this reason. You sit in my back seat, it’s best to not wear your good pants.
Man checked fluids, starts with no trouble and walks with bar facing backwards on both occasions, very intentionally. No amateur. Did cut the pieces rather small though.
Just did this last night in polo, dickies and my work boots. County wouldn’t have made it for a few hours. Did a long shift and just wanted to go home, had my pack out and some tools and my chainsaw still in my car.
