I Thought Every Good Wood Cutter Knew This

well, if you're chopping away and the tree is going to fall on the tracks with 150 blows and there is a train approaching doing 40mph three miles away - should the engineer brake or shovel in some more coal so as to avoid the tree ?

 

Engineers don't shovel coal. It's a union rule.

 

That is any easy one. You better keep shoveling coal. There is no way he will get in 150 blows in 4.5 minutes.

 

I have a few good books and have read a lot of information at different sites such as the National Forest and they all refer to the sights on a saw but I have no idea of what
your talking about when comes to the handle. Also not all handles a made the same. Some are full wrap and some do have their bends done differently.

 

Check the link in the post above.

 

Shawn,
You are correct sir, this book should be required reading. I plan to pickup a copy for some great winter reading enjoyment. Thanks for bring it to our attention.

 

I have that book.
