    "Don't rush this" is some of the most simple advice but is so true. Sometimes when I'm trimming trees I get in a motion and I start going too fast. I have to remind myself to slow down and be careful and take my time and pay attention to what I'm doing. It's so easy to get complacent. I used to drill that into our head at my old job but complacency will definitely get you hurt when you're using a chainsaw if you let it go too far

    I'm an amateur, just cutting firewood on my property. The way I think about the process is to imagine like I'm holding each end of the branch or log I'm cutting, and applying force like I see it. Like the first upper branches he cut, I think like my right hand is holding the wood solid and still near the trunk, and the left hand is pulling down on that free end. That helps me visualize the forces at work and the compression and tension sides, and once I work it out it's not always like I might have first imagined. Then I remind myself that I'm a "T"ree "C"utter = "T-C" = cut from the "T"ension side first, going toward the "C"ompression. The veteran cutters can see this without even thinking about it. I feel safer working it through in my head like a mental exercise any time it's not super obvious.

    These are great informative videos on techniques that are applicable to anyone who may be working with downed trees after a storm, etc. Thanks so much for these how to videos. They may seem trivial to someone working trees every day, but the audience will typically not be those people. It will be someone like me who may find himself doing a DIY tree limb job after a storm. I may also try downing trees in safe areas, but id be hiring someone if there was a fall close to a house, car, structure etc.

    Good video, I learned about the 1/3 rule and how to free the pinched blade. I usually ruin the chain freeing my saw. Big difference is that I clear most branches when cut to aid if I need a quick escape. You prob already know when danger exists.

    Question please: I am a homeowner with basic chainsaw skills. I have an oak tree that came down. I’m going to keep the wood. Is there anything wrong with cutting limbs at the end of the limb to size and working my way towards the trunk of the tree? It seems this would be easier to do while the limbs are off the ground. Thank you for your time Sir. P.S. At 63 years old, the number one rule I have learned is “a man has got to know his limitations “ 🙂

    Yep, over the years of working my woodlot, the times i've gotten hurt most is when the saw is off and the cover isn't on the bar yet (sharpening), and limbing, when the main statue rolls suddenly or a limb springs unexpectedly. Slashing thru a pile of brush is another source of whipping and kickback. Nice reminders! We all tend to pick up speed, especially with the nicer saws.

    Hey Gidday from a fencing contractor (so everyday chainsaw user!) down in New Zealand - great videos. I'm very envious of your helmet, we wear out helmets post driving so its on all day. I have one of the Stihl ones they sell here but it's pretty crappy. Can tell. E what yours is. Ta

    Newbie here. How long will your chain stay sharp? Assuming you don't hit any metal or dirt, can you saw for 8 hours or do you need to stop periodically to sharpen the chain?

  • @clintonadrian4958
    @clintonadrian4958 Před 11 měsíci

    Sometimes when limbing from one side the tree will roll toward you as you cut the branches supporting the trunk. Had it happen to me but i saw it coming. Maybe some safety tips on that ?
