I was going to post this over the weekend but my only site went down so this opening Post will be LONG,. I don't have a big enough saw so I called my lil brother. And said I need a big saw.. Yup 661 with 3 foot bar Ohh he's 5'20" Had a few Friday nite so Sat. Morning 9am we start.. On face cut hit metal I go to see my chain maker/sharpener guy.. He's not home.. Can you buy 3' chain off shelf.. Not here.. So he replaces ball joint in car while I sharpen, its raining.. Took 90 minutes every tooth rolled, but it's sharp and cuts.. During limbing, he said yup its sugar.. I looked at leaf jagged edges nope its a red.. Sure enough two types of maple in base.. BUT it was a big tree!! A leader fell into swamp, open space, tall one on left, threatened power lines.. Been there done that!! Its coming down Down.. Big stump.. 5ish feet up.. You can see first face cut when chain died.. Leader I was worried about is one with hole through center.. Bonfire started.. Did bonfire hockey pockey. Chairs out.. Slide in.. Slide in.. Someone goes forstir fire, chairs way out.. No close ups cause phone too hot to function Flames 30' easy
Another fire pic Brush to bonfire.. 4 x 8 trailer 14 loads.. Rounds to processing area.. Buckets full of big rounds..
Hope you didn’t burn all of it in the pit 5’ 20” = 6’ 8”. Thats a big boy. Throw in a 36” bar and I’m betting he doesn’t own a pole saw.
jo191145, at least 2 cord in rounds.. Bonfire was other trees and trimmings over summer.. He's good sized.. I don't do face cuts a 5 feet up with a 3 foot bar
thats a big sum beech or sum maple! I was having withdrawals and ran out of Xanax due to the forum being down. Are those the bon fires youve told me about Canadian border VT ?
buZZsaw BRAD .. That's a FIRE!! 20 foot circle 20' high.. Sun going down, it had rained, 45 degrees out and everyone's in T-shirts Well Seasoned will vouch for me.. Or you can come up for a visit
buZZsaw BRAD ... you build a little campfire 1st and roast s'mores for the kids. Then you lite the big bonfire so they can all run around and act crazy til sugar high gone and they're tired and go to bed. That way your not dealing with over tired cranky kids after having.. Next morning .. These are secrets in giving ya here
the only cranky thing round here is Ms. buZZsaw! I'd be the one runnin around the fire...I drink too much coffee!
Sure do. When the fire was first lit up, I was in my own circle, outside the existing circle. It might have been Dawn that encouraged me to come up to the front row with everyone else. I declined and told her that everyone in the front row would be moving back to join me. 10mins later, everyone was moving back.
