[@gibsonguy5240]

Great video! brief introduction, then went right to work. So many guys talk you to death.

[@HomesteadJay]

Yes I try not too! Thanks for subscribing! Hope to see you around in the comments!

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Jay! Great work and a great haul of firewood for you! Love how you handled that multi-trunked tree with the plunge cut then moving backward to cut the backstrap. I see your wedges also have a mind of their own like mine. Must be the same brand. Looking forward to seeing part 2. Thanks for sharing!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Martin! Thanks for watching! Haha I’ve sent wedges flying before haha I must hit them on the corner or something idk haha as far as that triple maple went yeah that one was tricky for sure but they all went where I wanted! Thanks for tuning in as always!

[@NorthForkHollow]

Great job dropping those trees! You make it look easy! Nice techniques. Can't wait to see the rest of the project.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey North Fork! Yeah I’m having a ball with this one haha been waiting 5 years to do this since we moved in lol thanks for checking it out! Part 2 should be out hopefully tomorrow!

[@timberray9572]

Finally a tree cutting video I can watch, I see too many hacks pretending to be lumberjacks. You have good technique.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

@@HomesteadJay I hate that crap.

[@Three-leggedRanch]

Nice job, Jay! A couple of those early ones landed a bit close to your tripod. However. I'm confident that was your plan! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to part 2.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey SEK! Lol everything is part of the “plan” lol as long as they came down and I was ok I was happy haha. Lots more to go! Should Be really cool when done! Thanks for watching!

[@bhermon265]

Good work with trees and the helmet cam was good to 👍

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Bec! Thanks for the comment! I love the helmet came it’s so easy compared to tripod lol thanks for watching!

[@jeffgarner1448]

Great job dropping those trees looks good, love your channe .l I have a echo cs400 and Dewalt 16 inch 60 volt saw and I love them both . Keep up the good work . Kubota time!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Jeff! Glad you like your echo! Mines a beast I feel very confident dropping trees with it ! Trust me the Kubota is getting a work out for sure lol! Thanks for watching!

[@williamwonser3525]

Was that an echo 490 you were using ?

[@HomesteadJay]

Indeed! Love that saw! Muffler mod and a slight retune things a ripper

[@healyfamily4]

Looking like a pro, Jay! Going to be a nice area. The helmet cam is cool 😎 Now the fun begins with the buckin, splitting and stacking.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey rich! Oh yeah I’m having a ball with this lol I’ve waited for 5 years to start this and pumped we are doing this! More to come as always lol stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

[@Homegrownexplorer]

Why did you cut them so high up?

[@HomesteadJay]

It’s all outdoor boiler wood so didn’t matter. I high stumped for convenience. Every useable piece was harvested for firewood

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

That one wedge had other plans, Lol. I have never done that... today an away. Thanks for the video Jay.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Gary! I hit the corner of the wedge and off she went lol glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@thatguytwig3405]

gr8 job

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? You're getting it done Jay!!! Nice tripping there. Looks like they were landing right where you wanted them too!!! Take care!!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey mike! Yes they were! It’s a good day when things land where you want them too! Thanks for tuning in!

[@1811bruce]

Hey Jay, Great job with the tree cutting. I think you are clearing out for a bigger shop with a concrete floor with maybe a lift later on, with you being a mechanic like myself! Catch you later.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Bruce! I am not giving away any secrets just yet haha you will have to just stay tuned hahaha thank again for coming on by!

[@OakKnobFarm]

Nice day's work Jay. I need to fell a few dozen here this year, too. New play area for the kids?

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Dave! It’s good to get out and work the woods. That’s a good guess I’ll add it to the list of guesses. You will just have to wait and see what this is about! Thanks for following along!

[@macktevinfraterin9947]

So smooth, what chainsaw did you use?

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Mac! CS-490 by echo and a Husky 257!

[@timthompson5885]

That maple is going to make really nice firewood. Some really tall white pine. What kind of chainsaw you running? Stay safe!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey time! All the maple is going to be firewood! The pine that is straight will be the sawlogs to make into beams for various (future) projects! I dont plan on wasting anything! I am running an echo cs-490 with oregon chain with muffler mod and retuned! Thanks for watching! Stay safe as well!

[@FromSteelToWood]

Looks like you know where they are felling!!! At 7:49, I had to back from my screen!!! Thanks!

[@HomesteadJay]

Haha hey joe! Glad you liked the video! These were the smaller ones we got 90ft trees coming up haha thanks for watching!

[@raincoast9010]

If you don't have a backhoe you can just pull the trees over and get the stump out that way. (use blocks for mechanical advantage if you need to)

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Rain! I’ve seen that before it’s quite the operation lol we will have an excavator come in so I’m not super worried lol thanks for watching!

[@crissysmart]

Awesome video!

[@alanross3435]

Hey Jay, Love the flying wedge trick!👍🏻 Hows the family getting on in these trying times? We be waiting for part 2. Stay safe bro. 😷😷✌🏻️

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Alan! That dang wedge loves to fly away haha its only that one though that does that lol we are hanging in there! Staying busy with all this land clearing and what not! We haven't left the house and have stayed safe! I just want the nice weather to come around to get the kids outside! How are you guys doing?? Thanks for watching!

[@alanross3435]

Homestead Jay We were doing good until a few minutes ago, my wife just told me she is feeling strange, no fever though, she just went back to bed ( which is not like her )😢😢😷😷✌🏻️

[@HomesteadJay]

Ugh we’ll just stay hydrated and keep an eye on it! I think fevers and sore throats are a possible sign! However you can still get just a fever and no virus so don’t panic if she just has a fever cause it could be just a fever. Stay safe!

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

That'll make a lot of nice firewood! Good felling, brother. Keep it up

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Phil! Thanks for tuning in we have a bunch more coming up don’t you worry!

[@jeffmorris8768]

First one to guess right one hundred percent.I just done the exact same project yesterday.Here,s my guess,and tell me im wrong.YOU JUST MADE A BIG CLEANUP MESS.HA,HA.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Jeff! Lol oh man you wouldn’t be wrong haha the brush is what kills me lol I’m trying not to cut too many at once cause the brush loads up fast! Hope you clean yours up faster than me haha thanks for watching!

[@victordodds6211]

When cutting a tree or tree'S down, why you not start at at least 1foot from ground. It would make you an extra 3 - 5 feet extra board'S. Cheer'S. JAY. My best to your family.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Victor! These were all firewood trees in this video! The timber trees I cut as low as I could safely cut! Thanks for watching and hope all is well with your family!
