The aches and pain of a hard days work is like a drug. I thank God everyday that I can still do this type of work. Mule work I call it. Nothing better for you.

[@donbetoczm9282]

My father ran "stave mills" in Russellville and Ozark, Arkansas in the 40s and early 50s, before moving to Columbia, Mo.! In the early to mid 60s, we both worked for Independent Stave Company, in Lebanon, Missouri!

I know this may be a silly question, but why does that camera man keep pushing that red beeping box at the end of each take?

[@crawwwfishh3284]

Had to reset the camera.

Was that guy really using a Poulon chainsaw ? Cheap piece of crap then and still a cheap piece of crap . O well , I'm sure he at least got through the day with it lol

[@dbcooper692]

grow up

[@doniphan72ify]

@@dbcooper692 ... Lol grow up ? I didn't realize I was being immature simply stating that Poulon as a brand has always sucked . So maybe you should be the one who needs to grow up ? Yes probably so , otherwise you'd have kept your mouth shut

[@garyteague4480]

Prob all he could afford and it got the job done

[@doniphan72ify]

@@garyteague4480 ... I'm sure it most likely did. It was the next day, using the same chainsaw where the problem arrised. I'm positive it crapped out after a second day of work lol.
