Young Tree Man Reaches out for Chainsaw Tips

Received a message on Instagram from a young tree man about tuning his power saw , well we got at all kinds of stuff.

[@chriscaldwell1490]

As a young man sometimes we think we know everything and have to much pride to ask for advice. It doesnt show weakness or inability when you ask someone who knows, it shows strength and an eagerness to learn. Keep on teachin us young guys buckin!

[@edwardakin7243]

Once again thank you for a wonderful video very inspiring and

[@alexryherd9810]

On the other end as a young man we can sometimes feel like we don't know what we need, most of the time it's true, ALWAYS ask for help when you need it, all you've got to lose is inexperience and the what you gain is the experience.

[@Grizzman99]

Really cool buckin. So cool to see a man that's top of his profession stop and take the time to help a young man in the way you did. Not just answering questions but physically showing talking it out. Putting what they did in the wood seeing and feeling the results. Jordan will never forget that. Ever. Well done. Very well done.

[@111000100101001]

What a treat! Always appreciate the fellowship and knowledge sharing on your channel Buckin! Jordan sound like a sharp man that will do well and make a name for himself! Dang, that IRONHORSE power saw Rips!!

[@cheryljason9617]

Im a 24 plus year electrician and 3 years into cutting trees to heat my house... and I tell the young and new to my trade or the trades " the man that says he knows everything knows nothing at all..."

[@jefferyfowler7860]

Any tip from Buckin is worth putting in your notes. A true woodsman.

[@johnmorse5617]

Your so so right about learning. I remember one time on a average day I was running sawmill, this guy came up in the saw cab he did not say to much then he started telling my why dont ya rotate this log such a way as to go under neatly this not , not the way I was doing it. I hate to admit it the guy was right. I learned that ya can do something wrong for a long time. Ever since that day I always knew i.could learn something every day , no matter how mutch of a legend in my own mind I thought I was. Love wins.

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

Hello Jordan glad to meet you. Oh heck yeah buddy you will love the raker gauge. Hi powersaw Rob and dad. Always love seeing you on the channel. Great video Buckin always sharing the knowledge. Always love the MACBONGOS. lovin it. Love ya brother. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓

[@ruggedtimber1743]

What an outstanding young man to accept your advice with enthusiasm, instead of the typical response of “I know”. This young man will go far in life. Heck, I even learned something new, which I typically do from all your videos. Thanks for sharing Buckin’. Stay safe, be kind and love always wins ❤️🪓🪵🌲

Maybe he wasn't brought up to be a Millennial.

The talk about chatter got me listening!! I use a raker gauge but not quite correctly. Thanks for the education !

[@lawnmanmartinfan7909]

Hi Jordan and all the guy's that stopped in. Thanks for showing us different ways to make our equipment better & safer buckin.

[@dragonspicks]

This is why I watch your videos buckin. I learn something new every video. If I don’t learn something new about saws, cutting or tree work.. I learn something new from your loving wisdom

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

nice word Dragon ,, thx

Shout out to Jordan! He seems like a great young man, very well spoken and focused. What a blessing for him to spend some time with the "master of the craft"! 👍👍👍 Love you all...❤️❤️❤️ Lieutenant Bradley

I've learned so much in the past 4 years since I retired from watching your video's and I am knocking on 70 so your never to old to learn and I love buckin fire wood and been doing it since 1977 but I am doing it a lot easier and faster since I learned to properly sharpen my chain. I help my 3 neighbors cut fire wood and they can't believe how good my poulin 3700 counter vibe cuts. thank you

Just came across this vid on your channel. Was blown away to hear that Jordan’s family came from Prussia mid to late 1800’s. My family did as well. Very cool 👍. Definitely something you don’t hear often. Anywho, love the channel and the work and detail you put in to it. Learning lots 🍻

Lucky break finding a carb one minute after finding out you need a new carb. Good stuff. ✌

Gotta love a guy who shares his raker gauges and takes a minute to play his gas cans! When you can hear the rhythm of the universe you just need to drum along sometimes!!! 😂👍. Peace & Love...God Bless!!!

[@ElmhorstJ]

file right rakers from the left left rakers from the right just like filen the chain and flip carlton plate per side. they are an excellent tool . you can use them for filen the cutters but i always push down to hard and will dull your file . . the carb had either a leaky belch plug or like u said just worn out im thinken Thanks Excellent job we need to teach the young ones no dought. . we found out alot of times the hardway. lol

Dad's family came to wv from Germany in the early-mid 1700s, his mom's tribe had been here since their first memory. I use a stihl 2 in 1. Yeah, i know but once i got used to it, i can make a chain deadly. My biggest issue presently is not taking off too much raker.

[@DaveyBlue32]

Great job Buckin! Hey Jordan! Glad that you found the raker gauge! You want the new Hyway titan-nickasil 52mm topend for that 372... it takes them from a 70.5cc saw to 77.5cc that’s what you just felt in the iron horse saw ... plus it’s got a nice little logger porting on it! 😂👍. It gives that additional yank so that they don’t stall out when they hook up!!! Stay safe... if you need any saw help I’m in the US... 👍😁

[@jirusjirus9322]

Jordan, you and Buckin live in an idyllic surrounding area. I'm sure you know this already. Just wanted to say howdy from a Buckin fan. Your saw sounds good, did the magic hands of Buckin improve the longevity of your power saw. Seems like good observations were made. All the best to you and your families. Stay safe Stay strong Be kind

My 20 year old 372 doing the exact same thing… time for a new carb by the sounds. Mine is rich all the time in the wood no matter what I do with the jets or if chain is razor sharp it just won’t lean out.

[@scottblesi2469]

Hey buckin , take the raker gage with the soft metal and get it red-hot then dunk it in oil. Harden it that mite work for ya I hope. Love your content

[@nickabbott6278]

So nice to hear that your family has been in the same place for so long. My dad's family arrived in Tas about 1820, Makes my children seventh gen I think. The Palawa and other Australian first nations people here refer to it as "Spirit of place". My people (as a generalisation, not in any specific way that I am aware of) did some horrific stuff here. My point, If I 'feel ties like the iron chains to this place' (like some of my ancestors wore when they arrived), what must they feel? Now I think I see your connection to your home and its trees and your respect for these things and your land's peoples. Kudos.

[@nickabbott6278]

OF, that came across so poorly, in that I am not aware of any specific incidents that my forebears were involved in. That doesn't mean that I, oh, crap, my post was meant to respect the traditional owners of our land and to say that the depth offering I have for this place after 20 years must be nothing to their spirit of place. Listening and patience . Sorry

[@nickabbott6278]

"depth of feeling, and 200 years"

Wait for it, waayt foer it, whaayyet fer iit, yeah, there it is. The ending of this video is cool drumming excellence. Tin hand drums with drum kit overdub, that is freaking awesome possum.

Ride the ball and balance out your yinz and yangs.

[@kleinerbub84]

Hi folks, maybe check out Stihls raker gauge models: FL 1 to FL 5 (1/4"P to .404"), they are file-hard, just got a few of them the other day. Hard/Softwood-Setting and engraved writings, quite good! As a mechanic I say they are worth the try, costing about 4€ over there in Europe. Have a good day!

[@darellsunderlin4670]

Just wanted to mention cleaning a air filter in gas . If it's a felt type it's probably OK, but a paper filter no , it will dry and plug up where if you started I with the filter off , and the put it on while it was running it would kill the engine, I've done it on a customer's!!!!! But anyway an awesome video and as always informative. And Iron horses saw SWEET !!!!!!!

[@nickabbott6278]

My dad always did this with his old Mc, I recently got it tuned, I no longer need to. I don't think it is good for the filter long term, ie 60 years or so.

[@kellyhamel4302]

Buckin have you ever tried using semi chisel chain or do you always use full chisel. I had one of the old saw shop guys have me try it because I tend to skid them to the road for firewood. I was wondering because I seem to sharpen the full better than the semi and it just throws bigger chips. Thanks for showing us younger guys some tips!!

[@tjlovesrachel]

Yeah semi chisel is better for “dirty” wood… it holds an edge better in dirty wood than full chisel…. But full chisel cuts faster but dulls quicker and In my opinion it does sharpen better and easier
