Today I am going to talk to you about something I don't really want to talk about... chainsaws. But first, we do some logging with the draft horses! Today I have the Percheron team, Ken & Buck, in the woods. We are continuing to work on the log job at Paul Smith's College in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. After that, I will show you the Husqvarna chainsaws that I use and the way that I file my chainsaw to sharpen it.

Jim, every log presents its own challenge. Your thoughts about how to solve the challenge is always great content for your video. Please don’t feel it is boring. It isn’t for me. 😀

Hi Jim love your channel you are so knowledgeable and experienced with the horses. They are so well cared for which is wonderful to see when there is so much cruelty and neglect of animals. Thank you.

@royolstad8532 Год назад

about thinning out: out west here, the environmentalists have shut down logging for so long now, that the forest have grown way too dense, so when there is a lightening strike, or other fires, they go crazy out of control from WAY too much fuel. Not harvesting and thinning is the opposite of good stewardship.

@c.m.cordero1772 Год назад

I was wondering who “ thinned the trees” out here in the West a million years ago and the forest was presumably healthy. It’s a fire ecology here and the trees have evolved to deal with it. The fires were much larger in the 1800’s,according to the forestry science folks, but they were let to burn as always…and the forest regenerated. Our native tribes took some trees and used/use controlled burns to clear the forest floor in some areas to encourage the growth of useful fire-follower plants. Some plants’ seeds won’t even germinate if they aren’t put through fire. It’s just now too many people are unfortunately settled in dangerous places,including known fire corridors ,in which no building permits should ever be issued. I’m not against all thinning,but it’s honestly for the safety of people…the forests have been managing themselves for quite a while.

For the people like me that know nothing about logging but enjoy the videos of how our ancestors had to work THANK YOU AND BRENDA for bringing us into what YOU do .THANK YOU JIM.

@jangrahame4891 Год назад

My granddad always had his 'green' lads clear underbrush and spindly growth out when he laid out his logging trails. That way when he and his fallers hit the woods, they could fly through the lot and drop the trees he had flagged in short order. Then he let locals come in and haul out the dropped trash wood for their stoves. That way the forest floor was cleaned out pretty good and his "nurse trees" and remaining money timber had lots of room to do their thing. 60 years later, his former forest leases were the most beautiful and productive around with little fire damage. Watching you do the logging and explaining things helps me understand what was captured in the few pictures my mom had.

@user-mq9co4tl1w Год назад

Beautiful!...It was wonderful watching you giving the horses various commands as you positioned the cart..backing up, sideways etc...I did not understand the one syllable commands, but the horses sure did..wonderful..amazing job there! I'm no expert but I was wondering...I think when you are sorted out and gonna go straight out...if you had a cone shaped piece of metal or in the case of two logs..I saw where a fella used a car hood as a slider and to keep the front of the trees from hooking on a stump here or there etc...just a thought and thanks it was wonderful to watch this and good job filming for the Mrs. there..🙂

@vickiulrich6694 Год назад

Such a great look at life of a logger. This brings back so many memories of my dad working all day at the feed mill and then after dinner off he went to cut wood. Sometimes it was downing trees and sometimes it was cutting up logs for firewood. The power company left my dad with such an abundance of firewood that we were always 3 to 4 years ahead on our wood needs. I see now power companies use actual tree folks and often times they just leave it lay where they down it but that just shows how times have changed. My Dad would sit on the work table and sharpen his saws pretty regularly and he did most all his own maintenance. I guess I’m just reminiscing about days gone by and if Dad were alive today I know he would be checking out your vlogs for sure. Thanks to you Brenda for trying to get the best content for us to see while keeping your eye out for where Jim and the team is. I LOVE being enlightened and entertained and do I ever enjoy all the horses. Jim, never underestimate your gifts…you are full of talent that many don’t have and one of those gifts is how well you and the team work together…VERY IMPRESSIVE indeed!!!:):):)

@jjock3239 Год назад

I enjoy your videos. I have a bit of a collection of saws, and even though I am long retired, I am still regularly using my old Husky 2100s, a 480, as well as a Shindaiwa 575, for trimming and smaller wood. I used to do a lot of chainsaw milling with the 2100s. The most important thing about sharpening chain, especially chisel chain, is to sharpen the teeth so that they are sticky sharp, that means no shiny spot at the very tip of the chisel. It is the same theory as sharpening a fish hook, if you lightly drag your fingernail across the tip, it should likely score the surface. That is what makes the difference between the saw biting easy and throwing chips, or a duller chain and the saw cutting crooked and/or sawdust looking more like dust than clean chips.

I could watch you all day! I know a guy that had a brand-new saw, cut a tree and it started to fall one way, and come back, he dropped the saw and ran out of the way, and the tree landed on the new saw, making it mince meat! We never wedged trees down, but i like it the way you do it! I learned to maintain a saw, I'm mechanically inclined ! you're doing good on the sharpening the saw! We would put the rakers on a grinder- just touch it! lay something flat on the tooth & raker to see how much you have to take the rakers down!

9:35 We love watching your videos. You and Brenda are both amazing people and work hard together. My Grandfather would have loved watching you as he loved horses so much that he would be out cultivating our corn with the one row cultivator. We had a combine for grain but my dad would always run the binder on about 40acres so we could use the thrashing machine. He had many teams over the years, even a team of mules that he would take to horse pulls. He loved his Belgiums. They were so huge and powerful. Every time I watch your video I think about him and Grandma when times were tough, but so much more rememberable.

Everything that you were referring to about sharpening a chainsaw was actually pretty spot on Jim. I'm disabled but I also cut and process my own log's. You talked about the "rakers" which is hardly mentioned in some videos. It's very important to know what you're workin with and know how to deal with it as it comes or happens.

@emeryedwards1219 Год назад

What works good for me is to knock the rakers down first with a grinder just barely touch them. Then file most people make a mistake by not fileing evenly. If you look on the tip of the tooth and it is not to a point then you need to keep sharpening. So 4-6 strokes on this side then 4-6 on the other. If you hit a piece of metal or a rock and a tooth or 2 is clobbered then file the rest. If it is only dull then 2-4 times is enough but always the same on each side.

Hi Jim, Thanks for taking time to talk about sharpening Saws, I have had Huscavarna,, Partner, McCulla, Echo and others. I like Echo and Huscavarna. Like you I have sat on Logs, Stumps and Tailgates to Sharpen my Saw. All I use is a File with a flat bar angle Guide, I almost always wind up finding that I have Filed one side shorter which makes my saw dish. I learned to use my file to check the Hight of the Drags, another wood cutter Jo Bever tried to help me by teaching me to use a vice as did Dale Huff. So, I'm grateful for your time and thoughts.

@klauskarbaumer6302 Год назад

I spent most of the day today cutting firewood in our barnyard with a chainsaw. After using STIHL chainsaws for decades, 18 and 20 inch ones, I finally switched to a battery powered 18 inch saw. Easy to start with just pressing a button, which is easy on my back, and half the noise level. The downside is, of course, that the battery power runs out rather quickly with big logs. But I found a solution: I have several batteries and I always have one in the charger, while several others are waiting to be used. I admire people who can work with a gas chainsaw all day and are not completely worn out. Maintenance of my Stihl saw was easy: I took them to the dealership regularly to have them overhauled.

I received a loggers tape last Christmas, I already knew about the ends breaking off, so I replaced the rivets with very small nuts and bolts, works great. My 33 acre old growth forest just went through a wind storm, 60/80 mph winds, lots of blow downs, I use a CTL to haul the logs out. My father’s family used to use horses back in the 30’s I can remember riding on the log sled. Great content you have.

That's a great video! I do file my chains almost the same way you do. Only that I'm definitely not pushing it to the limit with the rakers, which is because I'm mostly cutting beech in steep slopes. Kickbacks is the last thing you want there 😁 I've learned it all from my dad but also attended a course. That's a must here otherwise you get in trouble with the assurance if an accident happens. Wishing you all time safe work in the woods! Have a great day! -Chris

@stevenolson8504 Год назад

I was a a Wildland firefighter qualified as a sawyer. We were taught to use the chainbrake when moving with a running saw or in an uncomfortable situation. The 572 has a stihl style on, off choke switch. I started out with Jonsreds which are almost the same as a husky then work switched to stihl. It took awhile to get used to the stihl switch. I was able to go back a forth between stihl and Jonsreds no problem.

@thirzapeevey2395 Год назад

I forgot about him being a weaver. I never saw a horse weave in harness before. Learn something new every day. Jim, working a saw all day every day is justification to talk about saws. I honestly think that keeping a saw really sharp is a big part of keeping a saw going. A sharp saw doesn't have to work as hard as a dull saw.

I newer had big problems with my Jobu saw,so you are right it's good for chainsaw the way you (and I did) work.I normally cut 5 birch trees,but they was smaller than your trees .

The Husky 372XP is an awesome saw. Sorry to see 'em go. I used Homelites and Mc Cullochs as a youngster and Sthil's as I got a little older. But I bought my first 372XP and boy what a great saw. I like you learned to sharpen a saw by hand no gauges or jigs. My grandpa always said to, "Get it right you have to hold yer mouth right." There are two important angles to keep track of when filing the cutting teeth, fist is the one you showed very well but second is an angle of the file from slightly below the top, one the back side of the tooth to just above the tooth point. Anyone at a saw shop should be able to show someone those angles. My dad worked as a forester and then started falling and logging later in life, after he retired as a forester. He is a Sthil man! So, I know about the Husky vs Sthil thing! We go back and forth about it when talking about saws too.

I actually studied with Soren Erickson that developed the "Game of Logging" program. He was a Swedish woodsman, who said the main reason he brought these techniques to North America is because he wanted to restore the dignity of being a woodsman, like it was in his country. When I read that quote in a newspaper article, (back in my know it all, 30 something years old), I decided I wanted learn from him. I did attend and it's the most important training I've ever had and probably has saved my life more times that I even realize. Soren was a great lover of draft horses and when he found out I had them and logged with them he asked could he come see them. You could tell by his looking at and touching them, that he loved them. I went through all 4 levels of "Game of Logging" it's the best education I have ever had and I'm a certified forester in Virginia, prescribed burn manager and founder of Healing Harvest Forest Foundation. (healingharvestforestfoundation.org) I am so thankful for Jim and Brenda doing this you tube channel, perpetuating the culture and I hope they keep it up as long as they can. That's my plan.

Wonderful video on logging . The first chainsaw my dad had when I was about 5 years old was a metal framed Evenrude (yup the outboard motor company). It was just after World War II. Weighed over 30 pounds and was massive in size yet about a 20 inch bar. I remember the day he came home with a lightweight homelite saw. What a wonderful 12 pound 18 inch bar beauty. I've burned wood my entire life and had a number of saws. Always sharpened by eye. (we some times called it dressing the teeth with just quick touch up sharpening every few trees.) We cut firewood lengths. I grew up on a dairy farm and my early days we had draft horses. I have some old movies of my grandfather drilling oats with horses. I just want to express my gratitude to you and Brenda for sharing your workdays with me. You have no idea how much enjoyment you bring to me with every video.

I have tried hand filing and file fixtures, and never was satisfied with the results. So I ended up purchasing the Granberg 12 Volt grinder and now I get a perfect cutting chain. It cuts fast and it cuts straight. The grinder and its fixture assures the angles are correct, the teeth are the same length, and the rakers are the same height. Once it is setup, the sharpening goes pretty quick. And since it is 12 Volts, you run it off of your truck battery out in the place where you are working. I highly recommend it. If you have ever experienced a chain that wants to cut a curve, that is largely the result of the teeth not being the same length. This Granberg 12V grinder fixes that problem so you can do your best work and do it fast and safe.

Evan from Country View Acres uses a stump vise to sharpen his saws. You just tap it into a handy stump. Then you clamp the bar of your saw in it. You then have a fairly stable saw to sharpen the chain on. It's not real big, so doesn't add a lot of bulk to your kit.
