Just thinking back this evening. I cut up a red oak today into 18" blocks. It hardly required any time at all with the 346XP. Made me think back to the late 1940's to the time my dad and I cut up a pile of old telephone poles with a crosscut saw. We cut them into 6'-0" lengths, and split them into fence posts. I must have been about 12.
Dad taught me how to use that crosscut saw, and I still fondly remember it.
I remember how proud I was that I had mastered it. What I remember most is it was a thing we had to do together: father and son. Nothing else I remember required that kind of close team work. I don't think I would want to do it again, but I wouldn't have missed that one time for the world.
If we had owned a chain saw it would have been much easier, but I wonder how I would think of it now?
