Just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy your channel Chad. I am a commercial bricklayer in central PA, but am building a 2 8x8” flue chimney right now on weekends for a builder. It’s a bit out of my normal element, but I got a lot of insight from your videos and appreciate your knowledge of the trade.
Wow what a coincidence. I've been a mason for 30 years, however prior to my entering the trade my plan was to become a woodcutter. I grew up cutting and processing wood as well as 4 years in the forestry program in northern New Hampshire. Nonetheless we have much in common. I've been following and watching your videos for about a year. Good stuff!! God bless Chad!
Firemen like carbide chains for cutting through asphalt shingles to open holes in burning houses. Probably the best use for carbide chains. I have a top handle Tanaka that I'm really happy with. Cheaper than a Stihl, but good quality. Best thing about Stihl is resale value. Guys ask for more than they paid for ten-year old saws.
Yeah, I was extremely disappointed in the carbide chain. Lesson learned. I've never tried the Tanaka, I don't think we have any dealers around my area. I've had really good luck with my Stihl products, but someone talked me out of buying the 201t and trying the t540. Again, lesson learned.
