[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

oh ya buddy dont get to close ol' boy ha ha love ya buddy

[@Gkuljian]

I can't believe I just saw an intentional barber chair. That back cut stops at the center of the log. That's where the shear stress is greatest. I've got a timber ranch in Calif. and I'm having to look at a few trees that aren't straightforward. Even with the moderate experience I've gotten over the years, this video made me realize I need to know the whole truth. Your explanation is great. I thought that might be the way to do it. But without you sharing it, I would be fearful. Like i was the other day with that tree made out of clay. It blew up when it hit the ground. Man I sure could use a little of your attitude. Thanks.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

welcome friend

[@daveinla7666]

Cool...! Thanks tree sensei Buckin, heard of barber chair but never seen one... actually scary when it cut out, lot could go wrong in a hurry there. Nice gifts Bobinski but I'da guessed his fragrance would be pine sap and and 2-stroke?

[@thenorthener6855]

Ahhh...finally weekend..been doing almost the same job as you Buckin´.. thinning out some 20 + spruces and pines not so far from where I live. Traded the old 068 or whatever it was for a 1 year old Husky 562...far better saw for me to work with. Hope everyone of you guys, girls, women and children will have a freakin´ fantastic weekend where ever you might be :) Stay safe, warm and be kind :)

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thank you sir you too

[@allenhuling598]

Great example, and then explanation of the 'barber chair!' When the job allows, would you do a vid on dealing with 'hang-ups, 'especially those tall skinny ones that aren't heavy enough to push through the limbs and foliage? Thanks!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

you bet when occaision arouses

[@AuctionIndiana]

Allen there was a video a while ago that had that, Buckin cut it at the base a few times an it finished falling(it was pretty quick) if i can find it again I'll let you know what video it was Take care an Be Well!

[@allenhuling598]

AuctionIndiana Thanks much, to both you and Buckin'!

[@guitstikkustoms4448]

Buckin' great vid, very informative keep up the good work. Welcome to all the new subs, over 100 of ya in just this week alone. However you've done it you landed on the friendliest channel on KZbin so pull up a stump and prepare to be entertained.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thats the stuff

[@sslawnservicegray]

No matter what people may say about the barber chair that is a life saving demonstration that you offered to a lot of wants be tree cutters and as you said could save a lot of people's lives like amature pros

[@STMwoodturning]

I had an alder do the same thing years ago. I'd heard of barber chairing but never saw in person until it happened to me. The Lord was with me that day though cuz when the tree split, I was still sawing the back cut when the tree split. I just remember the "whoosh" sound the tree made as the tree end went past my face and nicked the rim of my hard hat. Gotta be thinking all the time when falling trees!

[@wadewittman8510]

Billy, Billy, Billy, I have to say, this might be one of your best videos!!! Awesome job and thanks for the demonstration. Have an awesome day Billy and everyone else 😁😎!!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

those are kind word comming from some one who has seen alot of Buckin's vids

[@austindenotter19]

the point and demonstration about the barber chair is the most awesome video you have ever done. when I was learning to cut trees as a youngster my tendency was to cut and run my uncle taught to me hang in there, trust yourself and your equipment and never ever ever under any circumstance try to cut timber with a dull saw.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

all true

[@WoolysWorld]

Hey buckin, I you come across another one of those old style hard hats you have to pick it up for me , I'd love one.

[@spencermcginty9812]

I always enjoy the tips and tricks you share!! They have really helped me👍 they're a no place like the woods😊 great work on the light project!! It made a huge difference. Stay safe and live to the family😊😊

[@afleetcommand]

Nice video....I've always bore cut Ash, Hickory, etc for decades for that exact reason. I've had folks give me chit about the "extra" step for years, feel a bit vindicated. Thank you. Love the old "Mac's" as well! Currently getting an old 660 going to put in the work saw rotation..:)

[@TheElwapo666]

In the uk the main little buggers are Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) , and sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) you have to keep cutting !! :) nice work Mr Ray !!

[@stjepansuman]

Excellent, man, joy to watch you, and to listen you and your 10-10! Thumbs up!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

hey buddy thx

[@benschlacher6131]

Really cool real life examples there Buckin - can really do with that advice. Been there a few time myself and wondered "Now what the heck do I do now?" Good to know how the pros do it.

[@relyk90]

Awsome video buddy! Excellent explanation!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

glad you liked

[@jeffc9354]

how we doin Kyler Monares

[@donc81]

I think lavender oil makes a good bug spray

[@riseandshinetruthnow]

Nice tip on cleaning the air filter with gas :)

[@riseandshinetruthnow]

Barber Chairs Scare Me !!!

[@sawsurgeon]

Newbie here. Love the use of the slow-mo. I appreciate you explaining things as you go. I've been in the woods most of my life, but as in all other aspects of life, there's still plenty to learn. I too am a big fan of the old Mac's. My first saw was a 380 that I still have some 30 years later! Thanks for a quality channel. I'm hooked!

[@relyk90]

I got that exact 10-10 now! Where do you find air filters for it?

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

Absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful location! Some lucky people living there :) Great job, looking forward to part two!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

nice jonny

[@Logjam5]

I think there is song in that title to be had. Good video by the way.

[@gnslogging3635]

when u set er on er dogs she really growls :)

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

SHE DIGGS IN EH BRO

[@gmonet8753]

BBR- I haven't yet experienced a barber chair but the possibility scares the beans out of me. You mentioned the cold and it being a maple are hints of it might be barber chairing - what else is an indication it might. Chair on you? And how to reduce the chances (as you say Bore-cuts aren't always realistic... )

[@austindenotter19]

G Monet it tends to happen when you cant perform a back cut properly, caused by, but not limited to , dull chain, under powered saw, rotten spots in the trunk, your chainsaw running out of gas halfway through front notch not done properly. just a few examples of what can cause it. corrections to all of these especially keeping your saw sharp makes a differrence. Barber chair is not limited to Big Trees. there is a study on KZbin of a smaller tree that killed a guy in Canada. he was working for electric utility company. be safe

[@loadeddog8015]

Austin Denotter .......Bloody awesome explanation Austin. please dont be a stranger in the comments. your clearly valuable. 🖒

[@beefieschannel8955]

Just catching up on a few videos I missed. I picked up a few tricks from this thanks Buckin!!!

[@whiskeyjim4126]

pouring gas to clean the air filter? a million hippies just cried out in terror

[@luket9128]

Thanks for the barber chair demo! I have a lot of Adler trees here, that I cut for firewood. always glad for a good Yup! Good video Buckin.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

cheers luke

[@markq23]

the master at work!😝👍😉😊 awesome! really appreciate the videos buckin! iv learned so much from you and i am so much more confident now when cutting! THANK YOU!

[@damonhart9693]

at the 35:12 time mark , why didnt you cut a chunk of trunk off other tree and lay it along the hydro line?

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

where are ya thinkin the hydro line is

[@damonhart9693]

after re-watching that segment, i should ask .. when you say hydro line ..are you referring to a water line in or on the ground; or an electrical power line ? ( its one of those language / terminology things, lol. )

[@craigwells1090]

What fuel ratio do you use for your McCulloughs I have an super pro 81 that I got from my uncle and I just want to make sure that I’m using the correct ratio looking at the old breakdown manual it says 40:1 McCullough oil and 16:1 SAE 40 2 cycle oil what do you recommend I use

[@pallekjrlaursen8388]

Having watched plenty of trees getting cut here on KZbin, I have to say that yours is next level stuff. Not only are you a master at what you do, you also share so much great information and give great explanations. Well done!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I have returned to this video to watch it and reply to comments and want to thank you muchly for your possitive words thx so much ,, and if i can answer anything pls ask, thx sincerly

[@murchlk]

Billy every felling class I've been too lately they say too bore cut everything you can. They are saying the little extra time and hassle isn't worth paying with your life, good thing you are experienced and new to get the hell out. Most logger deaths happen within 15 feet of the stump always have your retreat planned and clear and get outta there when she starts to go.

[@murchlk]

Also anyone who logs and claims they have never had a chair is a flat out liar. Great demo billy like you said people gotta see

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

do you how many people use the words Barber ch. and have no idea whwt it is ... lol haaaaa

[@riseandshinetruthnow]

Watch out for those barber chairs !!!

[@brianwalker1933]

Hi Billy. Subscribed to you're channel today. Have been watching you at work for nearly 6 hours now and l have learnt quite a bit from you. I have been felling & cutting up timber for 25 years now and l'm always keen to learn more. Your chain sharpening video's in particular were very interesting indeed and made a lot of sense to me. Like you, l am "very fussy" when it comes to this aspect of chainsaw sharpening. I have "experimented" with different techniques and angles over many years to find the optimum for both soft and hard timber that we have here in Australia. Keep up the good work "matey" (friend) as we say here in, "Down Under" (Australia) Brian Walker.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Brian, sincerly , thank you for speakin up , and thx for subbin in here the family of people we have grown is top shelf , I,, like you , love to gain knowledge and to learn ways of makin a hard 'job so to speak', easier. and will learn from anyone,, so good for you, and again thank you ,, i hope to get dopwn yer way at some point,, BE KIND m8.. love ya Buckin'

[@brianwalker1933]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith Thanks so much for your reply Billy. I will be passing on my new found knowledge that l have learned from your videos to my mates that do chainsawing. All the best to you and your family. Take care mate and be safe. Brian.🙂

[@thomasseemann2547]

Thanks so much for that I have a really close call last week on a alder because I chose to leave the stump. Needless to say lesson learned!

[@FearNoSteel]

I'm blown away by the skills, Billy great stuff man.

Thumbs up for Bobinsky givin' the man a fresh start :D hehe. Lovely to see this gift-openings. In the way of showing the effect of a barberchair is very important. This effect kills people.

Can't live without it :D Have a nice day my friend. And the rest of you keep up the spirit. Have a glorious day

[@Kallepeng]

20:24 ....he said fubar...thumbs up for that!! Did´nt expect that fubar is really used in spoken englisch....LOL So he´s using german axeheads and german language.....both seems to work quite good!!! Greets to the comunity from Berlin Germany.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Brother Germany.. how are you.. I love that we can connect thre youtube , the german axe head are some of my favorite fore sure ,, awesome buddy , glad you are here

[@Kallepeng]

[@redcanoe14]

Very informative, I learned a lot and enjoyed the scenery. Best demonstration of a Barber Chair I have seen. I had a scary experience with a 65 foot Aspen last year, trees were tight together and I dropped the Aspen and as it fell it hit a branch on a bigger tree breaking the one I was falling in half, the top half turned straight back on me and missed me by about 10 feet! Thank you God for sparing my life and teaching me a lesson :)

[@LoggerWade]

Haha now that's how to blow out a filter

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

he he it works buudy

[@Chevron.Muskoka]

hardwood in the cold like that(what I do most of my cutting in anyway) ill take the outside edges out of my backcut first right up to the edges of my notch, it severs the strongest fibers on the outside of the tree so as I come in from the back itll hinge over on the soft fibers of the heart and keep it from barber chairing and pulling fibers. it helps when I dont have a real nice path to escape due to terrain too so I dont have to chase her down and hang out at the stump

[@jeffc9354]

Great vid bud welcome to all the new friends and the old ones too everyone have a good day or night

[@tjlovesrachel]

[@stephenwinn3211]

awesome video. love the long footage. keep it up Bro!!!!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

thx Steve

[@dieselboybc]

I am cutting 3 acres of maple on a hillside over the next few weeks. You freaked me out there. If you made that under cut a little deeper do you think it would have barber chaired? Do you have any videos of cutting down any Maple twins on a steep hill? Keep up the good work. Be kind.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

IF I WAS NO DOING THE DEMONSTRATION,, I WOOD OF JUST KEPT CUTTIN' AND IT WOOD OF BEEN FINE ,, STAY WITH THE STUMP..

[@MrSea2river]

Good lesson re: Barber's chair. But why did it fall with no lean? Trying to learn here.

[@TreeSawyer]

MrSea2river It had branch weight on the down hill side.

[@craigwells1090]

What is the name of your intro song

[@thearkansashillbilly1776]

Awesome video Brother! I always learn something new from you! Be safe! Oh I had a Pro 10-10 given to me. They were going to throw it in the dumpster! Got another one saved!

[@thearkansashillbilly1776]

A humainsociety was closing and a buddy mine worked there. He was cleaning out the grounds shop and they told him to throw it in the dumpster. He asked if he could have it and he gave it to me!

[@AuctionIndiana]

Such a lucky guy James! Take care an Be Well!

[@Brando1914]

It always amazes me when I see a video or cut firewood at home how such a small sliver of wood can hold a big old tree till it gets finished off with a wedge. That's A LOT of weight on it, love it!

[@WoolysWorld]

Is that something that maples are prone to do ?

[@austindenotter19]

Wooly's World All trees are. I can't speak for every logger but I do know the hard maple in northern Wisconsin tends to be rotten 70% of the time and you have to treat them a little different then most other trees.

[@WoolysWorld]

Austin Denotter I understand that it can happen with a leaning tree , but this one was straight up?

[@austindenotter19]

Wooly's World any and all trees can and will barber chair if not cut properly.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

with the exacly the same cut wooly the maple will go first before soft wood everytime its just hardwood,, kinda speaks for it self

[@WoolysWorld]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith cheers
