[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Hard to get a cut to come out that close on a big tree and good advice to always be watching the sawdust when you’re cutting . Them log right tools will sure come in handy . Congrats to you and Christine on raising 2 great kids you 2 have a lot to be proud of .

[@toddsoutsideagain]

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Hey Todd you certainly deserve to be proud as a peacock. Looks like you’ve done an amazing job raising 2 beautiful children. It is truly amazing how quickly our children grow up. My boys will soon be turning 31 and 32. Boy time flies. As long as you’ve done an admirable job raising your kids they will go on to become successful and make you proud in return. That’s one of my greatest joys that both of my kids have become very successful and great people as well. Cheers Woody !!!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks a bunch! Yeah proud is an understatement. It’s up to them now! I’m sure there not gonna disappoint!! Congrats on your kids success as well. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

Yes it was. Thanks Larry! I appreciate y’all watching 👊🏻🪵🇺🇸

[@kenthorsen4558]

Congratulations to the graduates, a great looking family. I'm thinking that the rest of that stump would make a great mother's day flower pot, lol.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Ken. That is exactly what I plan on doing with that stump. Gonna plant some kind of flowers in it that will drape down over the sides!! Great minds think alike👊🏻

[@toddellisor5465]

Great job getting the stump down. Great pictures of your kids they do grow up fast. My daughter will be 30 at the end of the month. Time with them flies by so fast. Great video Todd.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah, before I know it, they will be returning from college heading off to their jobs. Appreciate you watching Todd.👊🏻

[@FirewoodMidwest]

That’s a good sized stump. A lot of bundle wood still left in the 2 pieces. Great pics Todd. Take care!👍🏻

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well it was bigger than I thought😂 Thought I was gonna have to borrow your 461💪🏻 Thanks for watching Rod👊🏻

[@WilleysFirewood]

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Awesome Russ! Twins are definitely a blessing! Appreciate ya watching brother👊🏻

Beautiful memories Todd. As dads, providing for our families, we lose precious time with our kids. Like you said, don't blink. Great job on that stump, you and the saw did amazing.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes Sir. Time flies and when ya have kids you realize how fast it goes! Appreciate ya watching Kenny👊🏻

[@jameschandler2776]

Your son Evan was gracious enough to trade me the picaroon he won for that log roller that I one but I needed a picaroon. Thanks again Evan, glad to see your dad using the log roller. Beautiful kids.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

That’s the kinda man I want him to be! I have not been let down!! Take care James👊🏻

Those big trunks are hard to cut and make look good, you did a fine job on it!! Your wife may wanna make a flower pot outa of it. Enjoyed the pictures Todd!! Glad you shared them!! Enjoyed this video alot!! 🤜🤛

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah, I got lucky to have that cut matchup! Flower pot is exactly what I was thinking when I seen all the dirt down in the center of that stump. Plant something that’ll spread over the edges that look good until it rots out. Thanks for watching Jacob. I appreciate you.👊🏻

[@oldguyfirewood]

Great looking kids Todd. You are right “don’t blink”. I have 3 sons. The youngest turns 45 tomorrow. It seems like just yesterday he was playing youth athletics at 5 years old.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Dick. It’s starting to hit me how fast it went by! I’m gonna be a lost puppy when they leave at the end of this summer! Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@johncollins500]

Great cut Todd!!! I know what you mean when you said they grow up fast. My I'd twins are 46 now and it seems like yesterday they were crawling around. You and your wife have beautiful children. May they have the best of luck in their endeavors in college. Have a wonderful day

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Wow you have twins too! Awesome. There has been a lot of folks in the comments that also have twins. I had no idea! Thanks for the kind words John👊🏻

[@FireStartersPremiumFirewood]

Man, you ain't lying about the "don't blink" thing Todd. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to slow down that clock though. Just gotta go with it I guess. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Evan and Kendal, go be great!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

That’s all we can do is go with it! Thanks I appreciate ya Stacey👊🏻

[@McKameyFarms]

Those dang ants!! 🐜 Hate those things. Nice cutting to get all the way around that thing and only miss it by 1/2” 👍🏻 You’re right Todd, it seems like we blinked and our kids grew up 😮 Great video and I know you’re a proud dad 👊🏻

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Ants are the enemy🤬 Yes you know what I mean about kids. Before ya know it you’re gonna be making this video! Thanks for the words Brandon👊🏻

[@followthegrainfirewood4525]

Great video Todd! Wonderful pictures of your beautiful kids! Yes, so true don’t blink it goes by way to quickly. Nice cut on that stump, I can’t ever seem to cut a straight/level cut like that!😒400 cut good with that size bar. Stay Safe, Continue Stacking, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks for the kind words! I can’t believe how time has flown by! Even I was shocked by the collage of pics! Yeah I got lucky on that cut. Especially with how belled out the stump was. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

lol, I hope there’s not a lot of dirt in there. The middle, all dirt! Great shirt better video! I was about to grab that picaroon but Evan was eyeing it! You aren’t lying when you say time flies!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah there’s a whole story on that picaroon I’ll have to share with you sometime. Time has flown for sure! Well at least the dirt in the stump was the soft kind with no rocks in it😂 Thanks Heath👊🏻🇺🇸

[@jameschandler2776]

That is one neat wood yard and that was one huge tree. I cut up a huge maple like that 3 years ago. It was so much work. All the rounds had to be quartered. It made probably 4-5 cords of wood. I bit off a lot more than I thought. I know what you mean about the kids. My granddaughter graduated college yesterday and starts her master's in science education next semester. I met Evan in Indiana. He seems like a fine young man. You are blessed

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks James👊🏻

[@markwakeland698]

You have a nice looking woodyard. A lot of beautiful firewood.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Mark! I appreciate ya watching 👊🏻

[@megamike4357]

Good work on that stump! My oldest son is graduating on May 30th and attending Central Michigan University. Majoring in computer science. Just like you, i couldn't be more proud!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Awesome Mike! Tell your son TOA said congratulations. I’m sure you are proud!! Thanks for watching Mike👊🏻

[@TCsOutdoors1]

Nice job Todd, that was a massive stump for sure! I know what you mean about the kids growing up quick, it's unbelievable how life speeds up once you have kids. Take care bud!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

You’re not kidding! Kids keep ya busy three to four days a week and time flies! Thanks Tony👊🏻

[@rodneyroberts2888]

Great video Todd as usual

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Rodney👊🏻

[@scottpobuk9336]

Todd I really enjoyed the video.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks! I appreciate ya watching Scott 👊🏻

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

That was a fantastic video. I've only used a 20 inch bar my entire life. You can get through more than people think. Great job my cut would have looked like a spiral ham all the way around lol. "Don't Blink". Ain't that the truth. Congrats to you and your wife...well done. Mechanical engineer perked my ears. That was my major. Evan must like math. You got to be so proud of both your kids. Have a great week my friend

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Spiral Ham🤣 That’s a good analogy on what usually happens! Proud is an understatement!! Thanks for watching Jerry👊🏻

[@InTheWoodyard]

I just did a video about that same thing!!! Long bars vs short bars vs the right bar!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Great minds think alike 😂 Thanks Sir Chris👊🏻

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

My helper/supplier Mike felled an oak stub that was close to 4’ diameter with my MS460 with 20” bar.

Hello Joe! It’s possible just takes a little more creativity😂 Appreciate ya stopping by👊🏻

[@nebraskawoodstr]

Good vid. My youngest graduates this weekend. Blink of an eye is correct. Take care Todd

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Goes so fast! Congrats to your youngest! Thanks for watching Mike👊🏻🍻

[@backyardfirewood9852]

That logrite looks familiar! I like those with the sharp point vs the Fiskars.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah this logrite is a better tool than the fiskars! We figured that out real fast! Thanks for watching Jason👊🏻

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Todd, you are right they grow up fast. Lilys senior year is next year, and she is looking at video game development. Luckily, i had a few customers that can help he once she graduates that. Landen just started high school, and he is a math nerd and is looking towards Physics.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes they do! Sounds like you got a couple great kids Daniel. Enjoy them. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@richysoutdoors2591]

Nice work man , like the cuttin’ brother, 👍. I’m a twin ., but we are not to much alike ., I am older by 6 minutes 🤣🤣. Later TOA . Safe week to you’all. Cool vid🍺☑️

Are you freaking kidding me!! I had no idea Richy! That is awesome. Evan is six minutes older than Kendal as well. Thanks for watching brother 👊🏻🍻

[@toddpacheco4748]

Well Todd it’s true that they grow up quickly but they have been following their parents footsteps and learning how to be successful adults 😮😊❤

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well I appreciate the good words! Thanks Todd👊🏻

[@BobbySixguns]

I had a very similar weekend, a whole lot of time with the weed eater, then off to do prom pictures. The wife has quite the list to get done before we have a graduation open house. Nice job getting the big maple the rest of the way down! Take care my friend!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Seems we are in the same boat😂 We have to get ready for the grad party too. Just got home from a senior honors banquet at the school. My two were blessed with some scholarships! Proud dad here for sure! Thanks for watching Bobby👊🏻

Nice tribute to your kids.

Thanks Chris! 👊🏻

Those big stumps are no fun to deal with.

I think that’s why I put it off so long😂

[@brandonhoad9033]

Hey Todd, man of knowledge. No wood comment. Beer ?. I really liked Sam Adams cold snap from 7-8 years ago b4 they messed it up. Blue Moon 👍. Can you recommend something else similar? Shock top doesn't quite do it for me. My daughter's a Sr. Prom this yr is 6/8 w graduation 6/21

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well Brandon I’m not sure on all brands of beer. It’s kinda to each his own! I do like blue moon on draft!! I have more experience delivering a lot of variety than tasting it! Had a good IPA last night. 4 Hands Incarnation on draft🤷‍♂️ I love Leinenkugels. Their Summer Shandy is my go to in the heat of summer. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@kevinmason3086]

I bet your kids are saying really dad you had to show our pictures growing up lol! They grow up too fast don't they. Too bad the tree was so rotted out you could have put a bench seat on it.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well I asked them if I could put some pics in the video, I just didn’t say which ones🤣 Yes they grow so fast!! That stump is going to probably get some flowers planted in its rotten center🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching Kevin 👊🏻
