PPE or no PPE, that looked like a good day.
Great pics of the cut and the hickory makes me want to get out the pig cooker and spend the day with some boston butts, brisket, and some chicken. Hopefully I'll get to cut some when the weather will cooperate here. Thanks for the pics!
Very nice pictures Carl.
That 090 sure is a great looker, and maybe a even better runner :drool:
056 looks nice too.
What kind of mill do you use?
And whats a PPE?
Carl i'm like you I never knew what a chain brake was or PPE or ear plugs or none of that other stuff. I learned on old school saws that were loud and dangerous I guess. That's partly why I don't hear good now. When I saw all those guys running around with the orange britches on I thought Sears and Rareback done and had a closeout sale.
where's the mill????????
I'm right there with you on the hearing part. But I guess I have to throw in too many helicopters, guns, deep dives etc etc. Add it all up and they tell me I'm deafer than I think.
Yeah those orange britches are a great idea but until I got on this site I'd never heard of them nor seen them. I guess that's why all of my jeans have four little holes in a straight line just above the left knee. Anybody else have that problem?
I can`t say my jeans have any tears in them from chains and of course I don`t use my PPE as often as I should either. A young fellow that comes around the shop a lot and who I have built a couple of spare parts saws for him came to the door on Sunday evening to show me where he had cut his pants open on the left leg. The cut was about 6" long but he did not cut himself at all, very lucky to have missed flesh. Of course I got on him about using his chainsaw pants and he of course replied that I don`t always wear mine, guess I got to lead by example. Whats that constant ringing in my ears?
Almost forgot to say nice looking saws and I bet it was a good bit of fun cutting up a tree that size with those fine saws.

chaps sure are hot...
Just saying
Cutting with the saw held at or above shoulder level is not a good habit to get into, either, especially with those big saws.
Looks like fun Carl, I think im gonna cut some tommorrow........i havent cut since at your place last. Gotta try to get a jump on this winter.
OK, I'll ask the stupid question. Can someone explain to this howmeowner why it is dangerous to saw that high? I'll take your word for it but it's easier to remember if I know the "Why" of it.
