I’m liking this trick you do by using the spinning chain to make small pieces of wood to jump outa the way. Instead of bending over every time to move em. Pretty cool. Thanks Buckin
Jonsereds 920 super electra, i think. My Grand Fathers go to. Used it for everything. Would sh*t on my 2171 at every opertunity he had. Ive been looking for one to fix up in his honor. Thats a great looking saw. Its in perfect condition, looks brand new. Wow it really took me back to some fine memories. This inspired me to start looking today. Thanks for all the knowledge and wisdom u put out for the world.
My friend, I can't say with certainty that I've watched every one of your videos, but pretty darn close! There are things that I hear you say in different ways at different times, but they all resonate with the same theme. "Read your wood, assess the lean, take your time, I am not in a hurry..." This is the old world slow living style which leads to a very long and happy life! Thank you for opening doors to this for so many of us! Love you all...❤️❤️❤️ Lieutenant Bradley
Buckin your positivity and messages are life changing. I’ve loved cutting firewood my entire life and watching your videos keeps the flame burning while learning more techniques Keep it going Buckin’
Paid $100 for a little poulan pro at a pawn shop last year. So far I've managed to make about 500 with it directly, and I use it on various jobs for miscellaneous cutting of 6x6 posts and the like. Plus I found a new hobbies in bucking and splitting my own firewood, for the fire pit, which I use to cook on a few times a month, and the kids get s'mores. The wife says when I get my earnings up to 1000 with my saw I can get an upgrade 😁 can't wait! Eyeballing my neighbors 5 dead trees thinking hmm $100 per tree and I can get a better saw lol Thanks Buckin, learned so much from you and continue to learn all the time. You're the best!
Love watching you work your way through a woodpile. So smooth and effortless. Goes to show i still have a ways to go, but each day is a learning opportunity! Much love from Northern Alberta!
This particular saw, Jonsered 920, brings many memories to life with me, it was the very first brand new saw I bought, but it was not quite easy to get!.. when I wanted to buy it from my dealer, it turned out that it still had not come into production yet! very strange answer! I said: I have seen this saw on a tractor at a professional colleague! My dealer said; it must have been a "test saw" you saw! ..which is done in a small number and test run, before it starts mass production Had a lot of pleasure from this strong saw for several years, when I mostly worked with rough dimensions deciduous trees..To my great sorrow, one morning it was no longer with me, someone had stolen it during the night in my storage :-( Later, when I was going to buy a new one , 920 was no longer in production, so it ended up being a buy of an Husqvana 2101 XP instead (very good saw too!)..but I still miss my jonsered, even though many years have passed Greetings from Sweden to you !
My Jonsered 801 was made in Sweden, hard to find parts for it here in North America, for an old saw it’s pretty neat to have, I don’t run it a lot because I don’t want something to break,
@@jayrobert5917 Well, I know the problems, needed a new brakeband for the chain brake on my Husqvarna 2101 XP (which saw was manufactured in the early 90's) i could not buy only the brakeband, you had to buy the whole cover as a unit .. far too expensive for such an old saw, instead i searched on EBAY for parts, and found a suitable brakeband in England, for a fraction of the price of a new whole cover So it is difficult even here in the country of manufacture, to get parts for an older chainsaw
So many little details and tricks I have learned by just watching. Not even sure if you are aware of the many ways you use the saw in ways I have never even thought of. Learning from watching is powerful. Thanks for sharing.
I hope those young, wood cutting twins don’t get any crazy ideas watching their idol dancing and poking around on the woodpile with a power saw. That’s a lifetime of experience and skill that mere mortals should not try to replicate.
Buckin, you’re a bad dude. I got a 920 and it’s almost impossible to pull it over. I’m planning on putting a decompression valve on it. The 910 had one. I sure miss the jonsereds wish someone could buy the rights to them but I suppose that’s not practical. I bought my first jonsered in 1988 and thought it was one of my greatest discoveries. I still got it and I sure baby it.
I knew you would like that lol keep them old saws alive an cutting it makes my day seeing you cut with ease like that makes me giddy to run my stable of saws lol
Just got in from doing some tree work with a pioneer 610 with a 20" and a modded craftsman 45cc also with a 20" both have semi chisel Oregon chain enjoying watching the videos keep em coming 👍😉
She cuts eh! Really nice saw buckin. Nice how you tune the saw as needed. Can’t wait to see the wood bullet get after those maple rounds. Beautiful lunch time video. Keep them coming and ill keep watching. ❤️🪓
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith ibam 70 and everyday there is something new to learn you remind me of my grandfather he was a welder in bremerton wa had 40 acres of timbered land he had said you can stick two pieces together but a welder knows what that steel will do when you start working it.just as you know your forest a big smile for all you do keep helping me learn my experience ag eduction landscape design commercial big rig driver now retired
I have the Jonsered 630, pulling a 18 inch chain. Bought it in 1981, heated my home for 23 years in Northern Ill, no other form of heat. Still cut with it today, with no problems, I call it my little hotrod.
Great runnin Red. Oh my Craigular what a dandy axe and that bamboo handle is sure sweet. The Ole wood bullet sure handles wood like a dream. Thanks Buckin. Always tuning. Love it. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
That is a very beautiful saw Billy ! should be heavy on a long run. I sware to get one in future. I own a lot of Jonsered these are my favorite saw. My oldest is a Jonsered 451e made in 1976 Still running, rebuild it 2 times down to crank case bearing and seal. i also own a Jonsered 536, a Jonsered 625 II, a newer CS 2254s but no one beat the raw power of the 625. Men a 920 !! Never see this saw in my area. Québec Canada. Lot of tree to cut here. Congrats and keep doing what you love!
Mtronic baby! Pull the cord and let her rip, tunes itself on the fly. Works great! Until it doesn't lol. I still prefer my little screwdrivers. Edit to add, I started heating strictly with wood last season and I split most of it by hand. I've just always enjoyed it. Used to split wood as a kid with my grandfather. Some of my fondest memories. When the wood bullets go into production I'm going to have to have one. Nothing like splitting wood with quality tools.
Love that 920 jonsered Buckin! I've only got one jonsered, a 2172...Don't know about it yet I've had it for a few years and maybe it needs a different b/c setup....Thanks for sharing 😁
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith hmmmm, I'd be interested in making one for you. I'll look around these parts for a donor saw that I can use for a mock-up. Any suggestions on saws that have the same area around the exhaust and mounts? Probably sounds like a dumb question, but, I've only been around saws for approximately 3months... I still have A LOT to learn.
Lovely saw and Craigular that is one beautiful axe that is definitely a Buckin Special. Honestly folks aren't all of Billy Ray's axes special....com on man!
That last chop was awesome buckin, been watching your videos for years, thank you for the time and effort you put in to entertaining us all around the world
Hey buckin😁i know some stuff about engines n carburators can tune n time a vtwin..v8 in line 4..by ear bout dead on..but um always tricked up tuning 2 stroke carbs.. watching u yr or 2 ago um able to do It well now but still loose my tuning..after hearing you tune the jred i realize you tune back down to slight bog i realized then i tune my chainsaw like my guitar.."to high"..that jred is lighting my tuner up at F#-G..mabie my 455 rancher will run well at F#-G also..thanks um constantly learning stuff from you...
Those saws are hard to beat, i have a newer J'Red CS2186 Turbo, it is a big bad wood eater. I also have an old Jonsereds 90 (90cc) it is not a screamer, but has massive torque...it is a nightmare to start compression is very high..kicks back on the rope and nearly pulls your fingers out of their sockets...LOL!
Boy does that 920 ever rip. I feel like it's cutting fast enough it might have an 8-pin on it. Reminds me of how my 394 cuts with the 8-pin. I'm also running a hand filed 32" full house Oregon EXL on my 394. Not filed down as far as this chain though, and we both know that makes a pretty noticeable difference. I know you had a video waaaaay back about why you don't run 8-pins in your 371/372s. But these saws have the bottom to do it. Especially in this size wood. If it wasn't saws running chain that you'd filed, I'd be certain it was an 8-pin.
That saw has the power of a ox , l had the 670 for years , it’s so fast a screamer, need to find someone to rebuild it. Needs a C+P did it once, put a lot of hours on two of them , still have one dead one 👍🇨🇦
Billy, if you haven’t - could you do a full video on carb tuning “art” like some of the awesome sharpening videos you have done? Or maybe I missed one in the archives? Love watching your joy, man. Finished cleaning up a monster downed tree for a friend yesterday (well, monster around here - my 32” bar got taxed to its limit and actually had to go at the base of the trunk from both sides for the first time). Used a lot of your tips and techniques to make the job easier and safer.
Buckin has actually already made a pretty in depth video regarding this. Look up: "How to tune the carburetor on that old chainsaw" and you should fund a video with that title. Happy tuning!
