If we stop buying their products, they will eventually be forced to start making gas powered saws again. Its a political agenda that will work as long as people adapt and buy their electric bs. Look at chevy.... stopping the production of the V8 camaros to make an electric model. I hope they fall flat on their face while ford shines with their new 5.0 mustangs.
I have only run saws a few times, my dad always ran them. I live in the burbs and probably don't need a power saw, but I can't stop watching you fall trees. I guess it is like watching Bob Ross, I can't paint but I loved watching him work. You're a great fell'er.
Wonderful seeing you back at what you love. Just wanted to thank you for the donation to Jed Walters. You not only talk about being kind, but more importantly you act upon it. Thanks 🙏
Back in the 80's i acquired a Dolmar when I lived in Germany. That thing was a 120cc beast of a saw. It had a solid tip bar on it with a 404 chain. It was around the 36" and heavy as a train. I only got that out of the vehicle when I was in big hard wood.
Buckin, I remember that co-dom that split and touched the house when you fell it there several years ago. I’ve learned so much from you over these years. Keep the faith.
Thank you Buckin for the constant reminders of things sometimes left to the way side. You keep me centered Buckin. Not just saws and axes but in LIFE. Love ya brother. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
It's nice seein' ya run that Makita. My dad had (and still has em!) some of the first Makita cordless drills available back in the early 80s. Seeing that greenish blue Makita color always brings back those days and reminds me of growing up.🌲 Love, Andrewski✊
Oh my my my dad And I (6) years old 1985 makita 9.6 volts tools all metal cases,the trim saw most memorable for me Always up on 2 and 3 story houses installing cedar shakes with that makita saw and his hatchet.Infact he fell of A single story roof broke his arm and cut the freakin cast off with that makita no joke He was a tuff son of a gun.I’m so glad you brought up memories about those tools man I thought I was the only one. Thank you
With gas chainsaws, it's just the color. The gaschainsaws with the designation Makita are all manufactured by Dolmar in Germany. In 1991 Makita bought Dolmar so they started re-branding the saws. Unfortunately in march 2022 Dolmar stopped manufacturing gas powered chainsaws.
@@j.jacobson hey Jeff, thanks for chiming in and sharin' some memories of being a kid with your dad. He sounds like my kind of guy! It's funny how things like those tools stick with us after all those years. Glad to meet a fellow child of the 80s, take care buddy!🍀✊
I hope everything is holding up well with the body. Also I can't get over how amazing that part of the woods are. I enjoy being outdoors and wood love to visit that part of the west! Enjoy the rest of your day Buckin! This community/channel is amazing!
I love watching your work man... Your precision and technique felling trees is amazing. I've been subscribed to your channel and watching your videos for a couple of years now. I'm always going back watching your old videos following your instructions step-by-step. I've learned so much from you and I just want to say thank you. You're the best teacher I know.
From an old school logger , that used skid poles to load a tandem with .. and a old wore out Franklin 160. I love watching your content! Down to earth humble and good people !! Keep on keeping on !!
Loving the tutorials Buckin’, I grew up on the Island in logging, started working in camps at 15 during the summers, lived and hauled logs in the Nanaimo area but I don’t think we ever crossed paths.
I can tell you are really feeling it and that you are enjoying the living daylights out of it. Remember the old days when you would lay waste to the forest and never say a word Buckin. I like it when you talk to us a little bit. Share the love bro! That's how we do it!❤️
Hey Buckin, if you're ever looking for a real collector's item, if you see a Dolmar 7900RS, pick it up. They're super-rare factory unlimited coil models. IIRC, only certain dealers got them and very few have been put to work.
Thanks Buckin Billy Ray! That was extremely helpful to me, when you stopped and explained about the twist of the wrist and why you dropped below your scribe line. Gold mate!! Thanks for takin the time!
Good to see you back cutting Buckin! I just wanted to thank you.. this year I acquired a Mac SP60, put a 28 inch bar on now I stand up and buck and my back is so much better 👍
Buck Skin you have inspired me to quit drinking Whiskey a pint a day for 35 years is a problem and hearing from you about you turn around was very good 👍 brother friend I have 5 stihl chainsaws from 200t to 660 mag the last thing that you should not do is drink and lumberjack i also have about 20 ax iv been collecting since I was a kid thanks for your inspiration
I can't thank you enough for all the tips The Twist of the wrist is top-notch like you I really appreciate you would love to come up there someday and fall some trees and just enjoy your company thanks again from out here on the West Coast
I have almost got killed by a tree 4 years ago! Was cutting dead standing fire wood brought my kid with me was making sure she was safe as well as doing the same for myself two dead 60 foot fir branch end hardly touching each other the tree I was falling was holding the top 1/3 of the other tree up it was completely rotten all the way threw! As the tree I was falling left perfectly right where I wanted it was watching it go and the other tree was to my back I saw shadows start to move! As the tree I fell hit the ground I took one big leap and that top of the other tree smashed into the ground right where I was just standing a moment ago! I was lucky I saw it just in time and it was only because I was looking up with two tight crowns! If not I most likely would have died right in front of my daughter!🥵 I don’t ever go in half cocked cutting trees like that especially dead standing trees!
Another great falling job Buckin. You're absolutely right. Always look up and look around at everything before you begin. The time you take will be well worth it.
Oh heck yeah, Buckin' running a Dolmar! Hand to God I think scribe lines screw up my back cuts more than they help. Back in the day when I just eyeballed the lineup and went with it I had far less in the way of high and low kerfs. Maybe I'm just too set in my ways 🤷. Great video and great shots!
My wife asked “What are you watching?…Do we have to hear someone with a chainsaw?!” I said “…yes…I’m listening, and learning.” You can’t watch a Buckin Billy clip with the sound down. You have to listen to the saw.
Buckin!!! Brother, I would have had to replace 3 cameras Makin that video😂😂😂 great placement, sawmanship...another great video! Have a blessed day brother!
Hope your framework holds. I'm just getting back to firewood myself, had my gallbladder took out on Valentines day. Still feeling it a little, but I gotta go brother. That ol Mac is calling me.
I really like the interjections, It is very interesting when you put it all into context. The positive vibe you bring is a teaching gift on it's own mate i really mean that!👌🤙🙏
Love ur videos I watch all of them I do tree work an firewood love the husky an makita I'm a single dad but watching u I learn an get the drive to push on thank u I trying to save enough to eventually to get me a good fast saw like urs but there very high my uncle bought a stihl 441 mag maybe I can one of these days get a husky or makita as fast an get u to show me what I need to do to get it to run like all of urs thank u bucking much love tree man
Wow that Makita is a ripper I didn't even know that saw can cut that nice I ran one many years ago on small stuff it not bad but now I see if you get a good tune it's another anamal
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith thanks for the reply. the model # on the dolmar Also what’s the max bar I can put on my 372 husky for buckin smaller wood what chain wood you recommend.I bien buckin with my evl 900 and 36” bar but it’s gettin to heavy for that so I picked up the husky it’s nice and light. Thanks A lot A lol Jeff down in Tennessee
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith hey buckin thanks for the advice on the 70c. Class I'm going to try to save up an maybe try an grab a 372 or 572 or makita 79 them saws screams on ur videos that would probably be all I need down here in Tennessee especially for firewood
Hey man nice work but unless you like replacing guide bars I would not suggest using the wrist twist method to often as your chain will lay over and wear your bar prematurely. Cheers
Less than a woodman novice, but, was a skilled craftsman for 24 years in masonry-tile, old-school installation techniques…so the geometry/angles you use to fall the timber..that’s fascinating.
