Great video, as always, Buckin! I don't comment very much, but I thoroughly enjoy the content you make. About two months ago, I showed my grandfather your channel. He will be 85 on July 4th and still operates his small engine repair shop that he opened in 1964. So every day at lunch we watch one of your videos. And while doing so, he talks about being a little boy helping his grandfather skid logs with a team of Clydesdale horses to feed his steam powered saw mill. My grandfather also still cuts and splits all his own fire wood. He said I'll find him dead at the wood pile saw in hand when he's ready to go. It's what keeps him young at heart. Cheers, Buckin!

I love when you give us these talks Buckin, we like when you get "goofy" as the early morning wind hits the burning stump. Don't get any better! We spend so much time going outward in our lives, and to go inward to that early child energy or intuition is exactly what all of us need in our fast paced western culture. Heal on folks!

God bless, Buckin. You're a true friend to us all. I would love to share more of my life with you in return. I know there's many of us and one of you so that makes it a little tough. I'm about to close on my first house in years, with a shop, and as soon as i looked at it i knew it was right, no question. God gave me the gift of carpentry and mechanical skills and i can't wait to put them to use on my new property. I've got my filing dialed in, thanks to you.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Yew trees are in fact a collection of all of these parallel vertical limbs, that extend up into the air without any changes of direction. It's kind of the opposite to an ash tree, which is always doing strange things and venturing out sideways in every direction. We don't have enough maple wood in this part of the world, but it's interesting to see how maple wood grows in that way.

[@academicmailbox7798]

The Husqvarna 585 saw is a bit like what you describe. I've run the 372 and 585 back and forth a good bit now to compare them. And I cut a couple of feet of hardwood this evening using a 585, where I knew the chain had gone dullish. I didn't put pressure or lean on the saw, and I could see interestingly that the 24 inch chain and bar was making pretty good chips. That wouldn't have happened with the 372, and the 372 is still a strong piece of kit. I wouldn't endorse using duller chain on saws, and it was just to give the tool a quick start up. But it did surprise me, because I've had the same 24 inch bar on all the tools now for a bit, to get a like for like comparison. I wasn't pleasantly surprised how much work an old 365 even could do with it's 24 inch chain and bar. The hurdle though with those lighter tools, is not being able to work them for long enough, before you have to rest tgem up a bit.
