Since most of us use chainsaws I thought it would be good to share stories of our injuries while using a saw so that others can learn of what can happen and what not to do. Also include your age with years of saw experience so that readers can learn that no matter how old or how much experience...

Some of the perks from living in the south this time of year. Enjoy

From start to end using my 066 and a Stumpeater type grinder that attaches to a tractor. The stump was sitting on a bed of rocks. Its was lots of work but worth the effort.

Closer I got closer on this one....

Enjoy

You are right I won't booo you. You are right. Hackberry trees literally out grow there own ability to stand. They are some of the first to go during and ice storm or a windstorm.

I took down this over 36'' dbh Hackberry December 07. It had damage from ice storms from years back.

Bar change Judge, I changed bars on the 066 from a 32" to a 25" after I cut the stump off at ground level ... the 25" is what's in the pictures...

picture I meant for this picture to be on the last post ... enjoy ....

the trunk and wood Sweet gum doesn't produced the heat that oak and hickory does so cutting it up for firewood was ruled out. I do use wood heat but try to stick to those two and cut it early enough so that it will be dried good. I plan to have the trunks milled ... Sweet gum makes good...

asking/submitting Hey Guy, I wasn't asking for lightning tree pictures... I did submit some pictures that fit the profile....

answers Yes the bark was damaged all the way down the trunk and the bottom of the stump was rotting. The top was out of one of the trees. I did consider the tree and think it over before I started cutting. Clearly, it had seen better days .... Sooner or later it was coming down whether by...

lightning tree 2 Since there is interest I wanted to add another picture. The pictures DO NOT do it justice. Several large pieces of the tree weighing over 100 lbs were blown over 200 feet way. Look in picture no. 5 under the tree on the left, you can see a piece there, also pieces in the...

big enough to look good on ppt I found the old floppy disk that they are on ...Will try to put them on a dvd .... and send them to you larger.

lightning tree I took these pictures in my area back in 2002... I didn't think it was feasable to bring it back to life .....I would have liked to have had a high speed camera with different angles set up to watch it as the lightning hit..... I bet it was a sight to see... and hear It is...

I bought a house with property a few months back. I've been working on it, removing trees and such. There were two Sweet Gum trees (27''dbh) growing out of the same stump. It noticed that it had been struck by lightning. After raking leaves and also getting up the thousands of the little balls...

Precious Memories I live in the region of the accident and heard the story. Yes it is a tragedy that this happened to all involved. Inexperience and not having the proper tools (wedges etc) probably contributed to the accident. Many a man on this earth would change one moment in...

I have a 028 WB that seems weak. It has a 18" bar a .325 full comp RS chain. The compression is normal etc. It was run with a slightly bent bar for a time, unknowingly after my brother used it .... My question is will a clutch crystalize like brakes will do if they get to hot... will a clutch...

I took this picture a few years back. The picture doesn't do it justice.

another cool piece of wood I cut this out of a pine about ten years ago and had it carved in to a rattler. It makes a full circle as you can see and measures approx 43'' from nose to button and 9'' around....
