Making Fencing in the Woods

SAFETY WARNING ...do not try this at home...this demonstration is by a very experienced chainsaw operator who has specially adapted his chainsaw for this specific purpose.
A demonstration of different techniques and jigs to make fencing in the woods.

I really enjoy these kinds of videos. I like the narration over short clips approach. It makes a quick, compact yet educational overview.

Perspectologist Great thanks

[@southwestbushcraft9339]

Great to see a craftsman at work, Thank you for sharing.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Such incredible craftsmanship and speed with that chainsaw, many thanks for sharing Harry ~Peace~

[@creativewoodworker4300]

Simple understanding of how to do things. The box is square but sometimes rectangular is better. Thanks for sharing

[@ronsites2694]

As always, another great video Harry.

Love the jigs; that was great to watch and I see some things to try at home (but not making the mortises with the chainsaw). I wish we still had our native Chestnut trees.

OK! This is really great! A+ Henry! I will indeed fight the urge to mimic that very skillful maneuver!...I do appreciate the degree of danger...but very impressive...I especially like the bark stripping method...the posts are beautiful...this reminds me of time up in Aberdeen back in '91. I stayed with an English family & we helped them on their croft. All went out and gathered logs...Not very hard work but we knew we'd actually been doing something! I was only 17 at the time I think I probably could have entered the highland games, who knows I might have been able to throw one of those logs end for end! Don't think I could've managed a real ful sized caber...surely not today!

I could look at a craftsman all day.love your videos Harry. Nice fence but I like the old split rails.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Kevin.

[@johnchung6900]

Awesome footage great work

[@TheMrWoodsman]

A true master a work.

[@JDeWittDIY]

Thanks for the video Harry, I really enjoyed it! Instead of removing the nail in the post at night, he could make a cap for it instead.

Veery Interesting Harry Some years ago during our Moondyne Festival in Toodyay ( western Australia) we had a bloke do a post and raiol fence using a broad axe and starting with a Log of hardwood ( White Gum ) about 20 inches and cut it all down and made up the post and rails it was facinating to watch I had my leatherwork stall overlooking his work so I could watch as he progressed People like tis should be national treasures .

[@harryrogers]

Sounds like you had a great view! Thanks for your comments.

[@MoondyneJoe]

It was Harry

[@michaelflynn6178]

Thanks Harry

[@Blinducho]

Beautiful

[@danielwilson5102]

Does he use a special carving chain for those mortices? If not I would love to know how he avoids kickback cutting in like that. He doesn't seem to be holding the saw too tightly either so it must be the way the cutting teeth are set up. Very impressive either way, It would take me hours to do any of that.

[@harryrogers]

Daniel Wilson Yes he especially shapes the teeth of the chainsaw.

[@JDeWittDIY]

Do you know what degree/angle he sharpens them to? Is it a ripping chain?

[@harryrogers]

Sorry I do not really recall .

[@JDeWittDIY]

No worries Harry. Thanks for replying and thanks for making these videos, they are very interesting.

[@beetooex]

Sharpened at 90 degrees like a ripping chain was my first thought. It's cutting too fast for the depth gauges to be unusually high. Probably semi chisel with full bumpers. Narrow nosed carving bar is the safest option for boring when you haven't got this level of experience. Pretty sure I've seen this guy's work. Might ask if he'll train up some volunteers for me...

[@aliakseipliusnin4201]

Can you write of list of tools pls

[@ralphl8055]

How did they make the holes in the fence posts before chain saws is what I'm wondering.,🤔👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@harryrogers]

Yes!! Brace and bit and Twybil perhaps

[@gregevans9620]
