A Junked Chainsaw Rescue!

That's what my husband has, a Stihl.We have a stihl. It’s a great chainsaw.
That was a great cut.
I’ll never forget the day my man got it. He was over the moon and started cutting all kinds of trees down. Then came all the .... ‘but stihl’ jokes. Groan.

My first saw was a McCulloch
What..... a..... beast
Huge bar
and what a work out getting it started
but the real workout was using it
Months later, I learned how to sharpen a chain
That was in the early '60s
My 'go to' now is my Husq Vee....but a Stihl remains a very good saw
Even tho both contain components from China....
I've got a friend that can lay a tree like in that vid
Very precise in employing cables, wedges, etc
Takes about an hour or so in studying, testing (trees can be rotten in the middle)
Fascinating to watch
Me?
A plumb bob and two appropriate initial cuts
I'm just happy to not kill myself, let alone create widow makers, of which I've done
My lady knows not to be anywhere near the vicinity
I used to drive TreeGuy nuts
Especially with this pic
I so miss him

My guys pretty good at cutting down trees. He has all types and ratchets and come along cables. While he’s cutting, Im usually tightening up the come alongs. Sometimes I have to run fast but not often. Lol. It’s actually a lot of fun.
Plus I enjoy seeing my guy cutting down trees with a chainsaw. It’s definitely manly and attractive to me.

Hubby started out his working life, at age 12.
His father had injured himself,, drafted hubby to help him .
Think hubby marked the logs,,not sure when he learned how to operate a chainsaw.
By time we meant up he either worked in the woods or in a saw mill.
Has several chain saw scars on his body.
At 79, he still enjoys getting into woods, taking down trees.
We heat with wood in the winter
Sell bit of firewood .

Asked hubby what make chain saws he had used when he worked in the woods.
Pioneer was poplar for long time.
Which he , his brother & Father kept running.
Now its a small Echo & larger saw is a Husky.
What he can't fix now, goes to a shop.
When we were young & hard up,, we worked together to cut & haul out 'paper wood'.
