My son-in-law hooked me up with a job cutting up a HUGE Oak tree for one of my daughters co-workers. I had no idea the tree was going to be nearly as big as it was, I was just told a friend had an old Oak tree go down in her driveway in a storm. Armed with my 480CD, CS-600P and both of my 55's I made the trip. It was about 2.5 hours South of here in Cincinnati Ohio. The Oak tree was over 100 years old and we had to cross-cut the pieces to manage them. Somewhere during the cross-cutting operation the CS-600P just quit cutting, chain was HOSED.
I tossed it aside and finished up with the 480CD. We finally got it all loaded up and was tossing on one of the last pieces and found out why we hosed a chain.
I've cut many a nail in my day in old trees, especially if there were in town or in someones front yard. Just figure the odds of cutting a nail diagonally and exactly in half. I had forgotten about the incident and was loading up the boiler a few weeks ago and low and behold there it was. So I cut the nail out and made it into a wall hanger for my son-in-laws "man cave".
It was a great experience, one of the hardest days of work I can remember, and he'll have something to remind him of it.........Cliff
