    I thought that measuring was jsut a waste of time when I started bucking, but after I started doing it, I will never go back. I am hoping that, eventually, I will get within a 1/2" eyeballing it, but we shall see.

    Nice BTUS, good running saw and there's absolutely nothing wrong with your measuring technique:)

    I'm getting closer by eye. It makes it easier to stack when they're close in length.

    Didn't last too long after getting into the oaks and hickory. I've got 6 nice new semi chisel chains ready for the next time I can get out.

    That's a nice sharp powerful saw!

    With all those chips flying, you should put some safety glasses on though. ;)

    Yeah, great measuring, I do the same and get really consistent results. I am glad to see the chaps, but was surprised you had no eye or ear protection on... ???
