How Loggers Buck Large Logs Square & Flush

[@saltrock9642]

I don’t care if Wilson does videos on blowing out your cabin with battery operated leaf blowers, I’m watching. 👍

[@bob_frazier]

I've been in and out of the woods since I was 16, never heard it explained better. And you still make those long cuts look easier than they are!

[@jefff6167]

You’re amazing with a chainsaw, heavy equipment, leaf blower, sawmill, bonfire, tractor, block and tackle… You can probably fly a helicopter too. Thanks for sharing your skills. 👍

[@michaelkearney5562]

This gentleman has the knowledge and the ability to explain it. I am reminded of a saying by my father: 'you can't beat the trained man'.

[@ericcraig8205]

Michael is a skilled man, the world is bogged down with qualified men and thats the big problem,we need to go back to us learning off the older generation.

[@paulrobbins3362]

Its nice to watch a video where the word "like" isn't inserted between every other word. Thank you sir

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Thanks for explaining this in a way that a simple man (me) can understand. I appreciate that you explained it without yelling “stay in your buck” over & over without explaining what the heck “stay in your buck” means in plain North American English (pls let BBR know that I still love his vids & learn from him too). I love my 20+ year old faithful chainsaw, but I often run into situations where the tree’s diameter is 30% or more greater than my 20” bar. I’m just an average landowner, not a pro logger (Santa has yet to deliver the 50 - 66cc saw I keep asking for). Thanks to this video, after decades of doing it wrong / the hard way, I finally know how to do it right. Sincerely, very appreciative subscriber.

What you wanna watch the tree go boom. Yeah I kinda wanna watch it too, it never gets old 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AWoodworkersLife]

“I started with my first cut” 😅 that was great, glad you left that part in.

[@c0rr4nh0rn]

I like that the automated subtitles just said "applause" when the tree went boom.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

I've been bucking 32"-40" logs with a 20" bar for a while now and this advice will help a lot. Thanks.

[@BrianDoherty-e8s]

Excellent square cuts. All good cutters do it this way on big logs keeping the bar in the wood transitioning between bottom and top. One thing I would change is to wear longer cutting chaps that reach almost to the top of the foot, unless you are expecting high water! You have an unprotected area of about 10". I would never consider boot uppers as protection alone unless you are wearing Kelar-protected boots. I have seen plenty of lower leg cuts and cuts through boot uppers amongst the "high water" boys.

[@sawdustadikt979]

Great video! I love this technique for not getting pinched. I learned this cut from watching bbr a couple years ago. But he does not explain anything, great guy, just not a how to kinda guy. You’re hilarious, I’m grateful for all the effort and time you’re putting into these videos. Thank you.

[@courtneyroy270]

Your hilarious man, I love your show, and your right. 😂

[@edrose8358]

You're right, large trees going boom never gets old. How about a compilation sometime? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill with us. I have on my Camel City Mill work socks as I'm typing this. 👍

You’re 100% right.. it never ever gets old 😂🤠

[@halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550]

So much easier cutting those soft woods!!

[@WaynesWorldGarage]

Well done. Jay Leno should hire you as backup. Seriously, great explanation. We don't have a lot of BAT'S (Big Merican Trees) like that where we live, but a 28" bar still ends up short often. Stay safe and thanks for posting.

[@TRYFAMILYFARM]

great info. brillant bloopers.

[@John.17.3]

Wilson, tree falling never gets old. Especially with volume up. Thanks for the education.

[@ericconner9971]

Your channel is really came-ing together. Good stuff

[@bwillan]

The logging information is great. Your delivery and humour is top notch. Why is your Dad so picky on having almost no extra length for trimming?

[@kenbrown2808]

It sounded to me like it was a limitation on what his mill could do.

[@scootinthru]

It's because his dad is the one who taught him how to do it the right way to avoid those uneven ends. If the logs show up to the mill with uneven ends, then dad will notice that straight away and dish out a right old bollocking!

[@boonskyler]

I can listen Wilson all day long

[@Gfthce3426]

Good good.!. Having just purchased my first commercial size saw ' I'm extra glad to get all the learnings I could . Can get . Teachings . Lessons Get all the lessons I can

[@Mahukaawenui]

This is pretty much perfect. Thanks

[@jasonmichaeljimenez]

Best explanation of this I have seen. Nice work.

[@crazybill49]

Very useful video. thanks for making it. I heat my house with wood exclusively and cut all my own wood. Being firewood I don't pay much attention to flush cuts but having pride in your work and upping your game is always a good thing. l love your sense of humor too, makes for a fun video.....

[@Bushman9]

Very informative. I don’t have trees on my property that size but then my bar ain’t that long. The theory is the same and will come in handy on those 45’ dead pines.

[@jamesgoens3531]

Enjoy your videos and presentations. Lots of good info. As a property owner and not a logger, I don’t have to be concerned with my cuts being square. However, it’s still a nice challenge to get my cuts as close as possible. I’ve put this to use on a large, dead walnut tree that blew down. My 20” bar feels downright tiny compared to your 32” bar. 🤣

[@MartinStockel]

My stupid idea is just buy a longer bar and you won't have any odd ends to through in the bushes. No matter I love your videos!

[@hacc220able]

Thanks for sharing.

[@MarkM-ke6cn]

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@magunco]

Your so lucky to have this as a time to do what you do. I enjoy all your life in the forest. I live in a fully timbered wood land an only have 10inch timber. Not ready for timber. Thanks

[@erice9536]

I'd like to think I learned something here. Nicely done demo.

[@NOELTM]

A really enjoyable/informative video. As for the bloopers - we all get days like that ! 🙂

[@digger413]

Learning videos are always helpful

[@shayneandrew4405]

Absolutely awesome hahaha thanks from Australia luv your humour

[@camperjack2620]

Wow, that is a big tree and a big crash when it falls. I noticed right away the nice square end that you cut with a saw shorter than the diameter of the tree. NIcE..

[@keithwhittington1322]

Mike, could you do a video on tree identification?

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

You are a very good woods man and you know your stuff buddy thanks for sharing love the humour being an English man I get it 👍🏻

You're a pretty smàrt son of a gun. I'm impressed. For real...

[@romanstingler435]

Beautiful tree

[@dewarner12]

This video was really well done and helpful. Will you do a video in which you are cutting a large log that is not off the ground, and can not easily be moved without equipment. Thanks -

Keep it up

More bloopers please 😂😂😂

[@davefran01]

Who's the bull bucker on that job ? I think the Canadians might say damn my cuts didn't quite line ! Nice explanation Michael.thanks

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Great video, I have made a lot of cookies for the wood in the past 😂

[@awldune]

Nice square ends

[@naturewatcher7596]

How did you avoid a kickback when you cut the log moving the saw from the bottom to the top, definitely having the kickback zone of the tip touching the wood?

[@danbarrette9888]

Enjoyed as usual. Was wondering if you could take a few minutes and let us know about the chainsaw, powerhead ,bar and chain you use.

[@philosborn1840]

I thought I was the only one that would toss and hide my rino lips.

[@nodbod-b2t]

Ya done good, real good!

[@sacha11666]

That's a good video. ⚜️

[@naturewatcher7596]

My cuts often go in a spiral, so I need to readjust them often. Still learning. :)

[@Lucas12v]

Having the left and right teeth different lengths or sharpness can do that. It's easy to sharpen each side a little different because of handedness. Could just be the way you're driving the saw too though. Good luck, keep learning and stay safe.

[@stefflus08]

That first one looks like the biggest kickback risk of anything I've seen on your channel. I'm not gonna adopt that one. Maybe I'll try cutting the side first going downwards instead.

[@larrychampoux9934]

Best part is when the tree goes boom

[@Randpage]

If 32" is short and stubby then do you usually cut with a 72"? 😂On a serious note; good explanation. Thank you.

[@zactillett9820]

Can you please make an intro to all your videos and put that multiple camera angle of that tree part of it.

[@jla3772]

Did you use a crosscut chain to quarter that log?

[@ShafnerTreeServiceLLC]

I forgot I already watched this 2 months ago. I should leave another comment.

[@waltlee3172]

Do you have much trouble with stilh saws air filters clogging up?

[@kenbrown2808]

The secret my saw shop guy taught me is electric motor cleaner to clean the air filter.

Yes fall down go boom....How do you get it back up so many times??? ( said no woman ever)

[@garysnyder6020]

After watching10 times, you did an excellent job on falling that tree. Buckin Billy would be proud.

[@bigwheelsturning]

If you have a cutoff saw for the final finish cuts why worry about an inch or less? when you cut the log???? Who ever cuts a log to finished lengths???

[@KSMike1]

Stay on your buck! ©️ 😂

[@flailpower]

Would be interested to know your background history, maybe worth a video?

[@recordbutton1845]

That blade going from compression to tension just seems like chain saw ballet to me....

[@arlequin4197]

I can cut 4D💀

[@kenbrown2808]

experienced viewers will notice the bar is in the bottom compression configuration. you have to flip it over if the your first cut will be from the top of the log.

[@robinelston5966]

🤣 I was just going to say the BLADE is upside down!

[@kenbrown2808]

@robinelston5966 that's the guide bar and you actually flip it over periodically so it wears evenly.

[@robinelston5966]

@@kenbrown2808 Just a little sarcasm for those who know better... had to call it a blade. I flip mine every 3rd sharpening or so.

[@kenbrown2808]

If you Can log those dead Old growth trees, then cant you clean up The forest getting rid of The trees that arent suppost to be there?

Because it's wrong! The two cuts met at middle of the plane. we all came together to watch this video.

[@prioritytree]

How many people here know why the bar on his saw is upside down??? There is a logical reason

[@Ver-wn6el]

My guess is even wear. I flip my bar every so often idk if thats right or not
