Everyday day man's tree work and cutting thread

[Loony661]

We had a runaway log, I don't think my ass was ever that tight..took off on us and was heading down the hill towards the chipper and for some reason it made a right and totaled the guys sidewalk and destroyed his landscaping.

I almost had a heart attack.

Here's where it stopped..made it about 50 yards in total.

I thought for sure it was gonna smash his handrail..it missed everything expensive..thank god.

Been there - not a good feeling! Until it stops that is.

I hate working in yuppie people neighborhoods, I'm paranoid the whole time.

You know his wife had to have a BMW at the bottom of the driveway.



I woulda hung myself if it smashed her car.

Holy crap, I think you used up all your good luck for the rest of your life!

That's a big slab of wood

About 100k of logs and chips

Don't say it. I have a long way to go unfortunately.

Clear-cut an acre of land and 200 yard long x 40 ft wide road. In between paid jobs, I've finally finished hand splitting it all. All summer and fall till completion.

Dozer comes next week before the ground freezes, to put in the driveway. Pad is done on the clear-cut.

I can't do hydraulic woodsplitters. They're boring and don't strengthen your core like the ox heads.

Have a buyer lined up for the firewood. 18 cords x $400. That pays for my concrete pad for my future 2 story 36 ft x 48 ft shop. Already have all the wood milled from white spruce. This past march and April via chainsaw mill.

I'd certainly hope you wouldn't use a splitter for those things, I've sh!t turds bigger than those..probably harder too.

Take a picture of that sexy core.

@dall loves when guys take pictures of themselves.

Sht, I don't take pictures of myself bud. I leave that for the camera crews. But plenty of filmed chainsaw, river runnin and dog mushing adventures around. Look me up:
Michael Manzo

Cut a bit of wood at my buddies. Loving the PS-32. Always keep your shotgun close during hunting season. Was opening day for goose here. There's a small silage field just out a bit and to the right.

Nothing like cutting on a line in the first picture there’s a smaller fir stump the line is right behind it.

Forgive me ignorance. What is an Oxhead? Some sort of maul?

Axes.
I'm not sure if they make mauls (they might).
I've had a few & have been really pleased with them (they make the Stihl axes IIRC).
They hold a good edge.
