I have watched some of his videos. Not a Jack Assparagus like some other guys making videos. Always wanted to get one of those Alaskan mills ..... Give my "shelf Queen" a job.... I think my knees and other joints would go on strike though.
Yup, I'm subscribed. I made a post a while back of anybody had seen him. He's a good guy making an honest life and living. I've learned a bunch from him also!
I love his video" 797 cuttin maple" that is a mean sounding saw. It seems buckin billy ray is a very expert chain sharpener.
Yup he's the real deal.Sounds like a great guy,real straight shooter,knowledgeable & very down to earth.Loves his tree work both for hire & as a part time hobby.Type of guy who'd be fun to hang with for a few hours,shooting the chit,talking shop & having a few beers. Just about as crazy for the old Mac's (and a few others too) as myself
I originally found him searching weather or not to sharpen every tooth the same(every tutorial says you do) after say rocking a chain. I now have and have been using two "rock" chains I use for dirty work that I don't have to grind the snot out of! He uses the rakers to guage how much bite that tooth will have. It's an art! His judgement when felling seems insane, but time after time what he is trying to do works! He calls it within inches of where a tree top will land!!!!
Yep - been subscribed for a while - seems like a great guy and has the same likes a lot of us do. When I first saw is saws I thought immediately of Thistle and how much he'd like him! Cheers!
I posted something about him recently after seeing a few of his vids. He's a little wacky.......prolly why I like him and his vids.
I'm a little late on the reply's but, he seems to be a real genuine, hard working up front guy,who actually likes what he does. Not many of that type around anymore. With him, its not all about money, he's said, that his goal is to do his tree stuff for free some day in the future, i understand his feelings, if you like your work, its NOT a job, its what you make it. He makes it look fun. He's got quite the personality and he's really down to earth. Well worth the time to watch his video's, he's been there done that, and i'd bet if you ask him, he'd tell you he's still learning. I like his video's , well worth watching.
