Ashley Harwood Learns to Fell a Giant Ash Tree!

[@williamj8349]

Seriously, how have you not got more subscribers?! Your videos are well presented, filmed, edited and branded etc! You're a fantastic role model for women looking to get into woodworking and am the amazing source of information for a complete novice like myself. Thanks for the great content. Oh and greetings from London, England!

[@AshleyHarwood]

Wow, thank you so much!! :)

[@anthonybarron7296]

Love watching all the things Ashley Harwood does. You can tell she really gets in to all wood working aspects of wood turning and everything involved up to the process of turning great job Ashley 👏

[@gavincoyle]

Ashley absolutely fair play on taking on that especially if you haven't done it before and to starting with something as big as them two Ash trees waow 👍👍👍

[@Penner-49]

Ashley, you are a brave lady!! You will try anything. I'm in central New York, also cut trees to turn. Turning is dangerous, to a point, but sawing a standing tree, more so. From the tree to the Bowl is a great feeling of acommlishment, that most woodturners, don't have that chance, if they don't live in the country. Great Video, keep up your good work....

[@AshleyHarwood]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@hogzilla51]

Hi Ashley, just letting you know how much I enjoy your videos. It's fun to watch, informative and interesting. Please keep it up. Looking forward to the next one.

[@MRmadman1978]

Shapen that chain! Those will be some wonderful pieces to turn! Ash will Dye so well!

[@bigdaddycain8561]

15 years doing this kind of work takes a toll on your body!! Be safe!😎👍

[@JamesCouch777]

Good job on the tree felling. I grew up using wood heat so we learned a lot about how to cut down and cut up trees. Safety is the first consideration, our neighbor was killed cutting down a tree.

[@tombarton1952]

Your drive and motivation never ceases to amaze me.

[@georgebartholemew8444]

I am SO glad that you used the safety equipment (like chainsaw chaps, etc.) that too often gets omitted when this type of video is made. I ma old, not obsolete, because all my life we used ear protection, eye protection and body protection, while so many of my peers now need hearing aids and such.

Awesome Video Ashley, I miss the hills of central and northern NY. Great teachers you have there 😊👍👍👍

[@MisterTee2010]

It's always nice to learn something new. Thank you for sharing. Love and God Bless.

[@laserfloyd]

I grew up around all this sorta stuff then spent 20 years living in a subdivision. Now I'm on acreage and have some dead trees to bring down. Tremendous respect to the men and women that do this stuff. A falling tree is no joke. Hope we get to see some bowls from that tree soon.

[@jeanlong5965]

Thanks for the variety of videos.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

One thing I've noticed about you over the years is your friends are really nice and considerate people. And yet they didn't trust you with a sharped chain saw. ha! Another xclnt video.

[@DiemenDesign]

Or had the decency to put the ROPS up on their Tractor.

[@Perception_]

Almost August, and I'm so looking forward to colder days again. When I see this I feel the want to get up and help out, just simply do something. Summer is just too easy in my eyes, and I'm a person who give up when things get easy. Nothing like a natural resistance to get you on your feet. And it's completely free even, how about that.

[@brunomckay1875]

Looking good in chaps Miss Ashley, good to see you back too. Take care. Wedges are your best friend.

[@larrycounce4509]

I do enjoy your work plus the tricks and tips you offer, thank you.

[@rollsroyce7325]

Good Job Ashley 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏼💪🏼👸🪵

[@johnhartmusii1499]

Hi Ashley, I am happy to see that you used much better safety equipment during the felling operation on this video. I will suggest that when felling, your wedge should be about 90°, instead of the much smaller wedges that your friend suggested. The larger wedge angle will keep the hinge intact until the tree is almost on the ground, helping keep the tree on path to your intended felling target.

[@WoodScamp]

Nice one Ashley! A perfect couple of fellings. Great to see the process, but if I ever get a milling device I'll save up for one with an autofeed...

[@shanemelville]

Well done Ashley as always

[@tonyburelle6633]

What a great learning experience I thought you did well for the first time doing everything

[@KateMondor]

Well, looks to be a dreary summer you’re having there!? Guess it was filmed some time ago? Wonderful. As always. ❤️

[@AshleyHarwood]

Yeah.... very true!

[@villageidiot8718]

@9:15 'even a woodturner' Are you saying there's something wrong with turners?

[@DiemenDesign]

Another great informational video, on how NOT to do a lot of things. Ashley, if you had of tipped that Tractor over, you would have done one of two things. One, tried to jump off the Tractor, which is the most dangerous thing to do. Two, not using the Seat Belt, or having the ROPS up (Roll Over Protection System), it is there for a reason, and as your head is clearly higher than than the hinge part of the ROPS, you would be injured. Both of those things, if you had of been injured, as the ROPS isn't up, you would be wiped by the insurance, as safety measures haven't been taken into account. Don't get me wrong, I love that you try new things, and show them to us all, so we can see if we want to try them out. And I'm not picking these out because your a female, I would be saying the same to anyone that was clearly doing something that puts them at risk. Others commenting have pointed out things already that I was going to mention, and I'm not here to bash you, just please take some things into account, esp. as your sharing your adventures online, which I truly appreciate as it shows people what we do to produce the products they like to purchase, and helps them to appreciate what goes into it. Please be safe, keep turning, and we want to see you doing so safely.

Did you say Canisteo, NY? Bloody hell, that is way out in the puckerbrush, Ashley. And in January, no less. Looks like you got a little snow, too. A far cry from SC, right?

[@TheQuoril]

I like Chris. Can we expect more of him in future videos?

[@t-wrecks6739]

Does Ashley's southern accent get a little more pronounced when she is away from home? I can't tell if that or I just noticed it more in this video. :)

[@t-wrecks6739]

@@DukeStarbuckle I don't think it's intentional or annoying, more subconscious reaction to being away from home. I think I do the same only mine is Boston unfortunately 😀

Ash is beautiful lumber but it won't be very long before there are any left. So sad.

ASHley fells two ASH trees, priceless to be an observer of your experience. A little more time on the tractor and you'll be a pro.

[@sro1020]

Awesome video! Love to see ya learning new skills, that guy has the personality of a wet blanket though haha

[@AshleyHarwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@jefff6181]

He should have put a new blade on that saw before you even started cutting. If you watch the video, you see the sawdust coming off the saw. If you had a sharp or new blade, you would have been done in a minute or less. There should’ve been chips flying off that saw, no sawdust. Just a little bit of information for you on your next tree felling adventure. Good video for you though.

[@joeljennings8621]

How mad were you with that dull chainsaw. That just makes a dangerous task more dangerous.

[@andreacrashe9894]

long hair..... always tie it back.... and shove it down inside your jacket/top... long hair hanging down the front is not good... imagine if you lean over too far and the chain gets hold of your hair.... it will rip it out... So SAFETY FIRST....... :-)
