What did you do to/with your chainsaw today

[Supercharged111]

Was poking around and learned barber chairing is a thing. Got me to thinking what else don't I know that I should before I go mowing down trees without killing myself? Above and beyond standard cuts, stuff to watch out for.

Well, if you fck up good enough, you'll only do it once.

Good video there, there's a few out there.

My work bench in the basement that I use for working on saws was overflowing with saw parts, receipts, tools, books, saws etc. I finally had enough and decided reorganize the basement.

Moved the desk to the back part of the basement, which used to be a sort of guest bedroom but hasn't been used as such in years.

I hung a 4x8 sheet of pegboard, used some of the old bedroom furniture that was collecting dust to make a bigger bench and shelves. Put up some hooks for chainsaw bars to hang. Still need to add a light above the bench but it's a vast improvement.

If you really run out of room I guess just leave the door unlocked and I can swing by, help alleviate some excess stock....

Did a whole bunch of cutting today with my 461, got all of these rounds quartered up and ready to split. Swapped the limited coil out for an unlimited coil from a 660, I have it tuned to about 14500 and it was still 4 stroking in the cut a bit.

I've seen a number of how to do it right videos, but this does a good job explaining why the wrong way is wrong.

Yup that is one of the better videos. I've cut a few trees and every time they are all different.

I've thought about putting that unlimited coil in mine, I'll have to get a Tach and see where I'm at in the cut under load. The last time out my new one was the same way, 4 stroking a little rich so I know it had more RPM in it if I lean it out.

Took down two trees with a couple buddies on Sunday. One was a Pin Oak, not sure what the other one was, but it was dead and shattered like glass when it hit the ground. The Dodge played a part in the rigging. Saws on the job were 395xp, 288xp, 359, 562xp, Stihl 044/046 hybrid, MS200T, and an Echo CS355T.

This is local, and it's tempting. Talked with the guy and it's legit, just trying to move it. Top cover painted for some reason.

It's a Stihl MS462C. 72cc 13.8lb powerhead, the only thing keeping me away is the MTronic system. As much as I tune LS EFI stuff, I'll stick with a screwdriver on the two stroke stuff.

Helped out a neighbor cut down this Holley Tree. Guy did this much with a hand saw and gave up when he figured out there are better ways haha. 261 and 461 out for the fun.

How small does a tree get for you guys to not bother with a face cut? That one's been bugging me.
