How old is your boy?

Too many people are so afraid of saws that they refuse to teach a young man how to use a chainsaw. It's nice to see you teaching the boy both technique and respect (PPE). Nice Job!

:cheers:
 
Thanks all for the hearty Welcome!! I've been heating with wood and working with saws (both for fun and money) for over 25 years. My boy - who is now 12 - started using saws at 'round 10 or so. He's one kid that knows that "it doesn't get warm by turning up the thermostat" or that "food comes from a grocery store" but that's another story!
 
nice pics, you must be proud of your son. I have a 10 year old and we are just getting started in small engines, guns the fine art of working a shallow diver across the shore line.
 
Welcome

I've got 2 little girls. If I had one with a chainsaw in hand my wife would toss me into my OWB !!! Enjoy your time with your son. (I am envious of the help!):chainsaw:

The Stihl or Husqvarna debate was settled scientifically at my house-my son said get the orange one because it's his favorite color. Now I have to ask my daughters, what are theirs!:popcorn: . Blue Makita, Red Jonny, or another orange one :) .

...And those are some memories that he'll keep with him for all time. Especially if he grows up to heat with wood and is fortunate to have a son of his own to help out.
 
I kinda hope he see's this as memories. But I must admit the sometimes I push a bit hard forgetting that he's a young'in. However, I do get some 'satisfaction' when I'm bucking a stalk one handed while I reach for my wedge -not letting off the throttle- and he says "I saw that Dad!" So maybe somethings sinking in. Also I'm a equal opportunity work giver. The ladies of the house (Mama and my daughter) have stacking duties. My boy just loves walking into the house after a long day of cutting and splitting saying "There's a full trailer load out there that someone needs to take care of! "

i can see it now in a couple of years he walks in the house and he says that and his sister whacks him one good ROFL just kiddin
 
My step-son has spent the last few falls working with his grandpa splitting and stacking. Then last year I went out to help with a big blow-down, and there he was running grandpa's 036...he was 14.

Turns out grandpa thought it was time and took him out and showed him how to run it.
 
I started helping with the family firewood runs when I was 10 or 12.

Loved every bit of it. Until I got into high school and became distracted by other things.

Good to see a younger one out in the thick of it.
