Art Martin: Will the Real Logger Please Stand Up

[Meadow Beaver]

Filing crosscut saws must take a lot of patience, oh yeah that's a word in which I lack, patience.

About 2 hrs to do a 84" peg and raker.

Looks like a Bell 407, John. I have done some long line training in a Jet Ranger, but nothing compared to what the "heliloggers" do on a routine basis.
My best.

Thanks for taking your time and posting all of your interesting and helpful knowledge Mr. Martin.

What were the accomodations like when you were logging?

Thanks again.

Bump

FIL was over for Thanksgiving. Asked to see logging pics. Did a search and found the Art Martin thread. Awesome! Been around AS for 5 years & finally found the best thread!

So, is Art still around? Has anyone been keeping in touch?

Wow, what thread

Mr. Martin,

If there is any chance you could post some details on filing crosscut saws, I would sure appreciate it. Beyond the Warren Miller book, this kind of info is pretty thin. As a self-taught filer, I'm sure I've developed some bad habits which are best removed by the voice of experience.

Thanks for all the great advice, stories, and photos!

Hat’s off to dbabock for starting the thread on Art Martin.

I stumbled on to this by accident last night and totally got lost and amazed in the fantastic pictures and the history of Art Martin. Great thread!!! Art, if you have any grandchildren, they must love to hear you tell your stories. I haven't read or looked at all the posts yet but I plan too.

It is a lot of reading... A lot of the members that posted in it are no longer active, or banned. However... it is a great thread from the archives. Prolly the best one on the site.
