What 4 people and a bunch of saws can do!

[A.E. Metal Werx]

My brother is in town for the weekend and wanted to play a little so we got ahold of a few other fellow AS members, Ron (Ronaldo) and Mark (Hoskvarna), and mike (homelite41) to see if they wanted to spend a day in thee woods, mike couldn't make it due to being at the in-laws. Don't worry mike, we were thinking about you while inhaling the sweet smell of 2strokes! Any way, we started a little after noon and went till shortly after 5. Poor mark spent most the time running the massy pulling logs, on two wheels most the time.... Ron, my brother and my self did all the cutting and hook tending, if that what you would call it. We cut mostly oak, elm, and hickory. I tell you what, I spent most of my time cutting my self out of the damn thorn bushes that were EVERYWHERE... I this I will have to retire my flannel after today. Saws that were used today were. 550xp 18", 346xp 16", ms250 16", cs 530 20", 2153 with 346 top end 16", husky 555 24", 371xp 24", 372 28", I'm sure I missed a few. Took a few pictures.

Hey Shawn - when I get back from the land of Oz I will have to come see you with a 24" bar I have, first time I've ever seen one that the rails were actually worn down so far the drivers hold the tie straps off the bar. .050 gauge.

Not a bad day to be cutting wood. I kept hoping this morning someone would come along with a nice little project for today but it didn't happen.

Shawn, pm me your contact info for future reference, we can car pool in hopes to keep the wallet from getting so thin. Guy, the 555 was running a 24" 3/8 full chisel set up and it pulled it Wu authority. From what I know about the saw is its strictly just muff modded. Bar buried in the cut she was pulling a consistent 10k. Me personally I that that was doing pretty well!

We can grind them deeper but eventually it's going to look like a carving bar.

Wish I could take the credit for the good pictures.. The iPhone did all the work!! The land is perfect around there. Nothing better in my book then spending a day out in the timber with family and great friends. Sure looking forward to the next time.

We'll get you out again, bud. Maybe when we get some more pulled up-----then you guys can cut away!
