Jim, it makes me happy to see someone use a crosscut saw for more than one cut in a video. Thanks for "sawing through" the absurdity. Yes it's a lot of work, but so much more enjoyable and meaningful!

The health benefits of doing everything by hand, can't be overstated.

I'm from Australia....We have have a name for people like you.....Bloody Legend!! Well done mate

Loved it! That's an awesome idea for the high lift jack. I'll definitely be copying that 👍😀 Thanks!

That wood certainly heated you twice :)

Pretty neat seeing that top chain slack as the back bole outran the front on the way down. Impressive work, Jim.

Perfect drop... Such a satisfying feeling when she falls exactly where you want. That was some hard work you made look easy! You really earned your pay today! Thanks for sharing...

Interesting. I started sawing in the Sixties, yet I've never seen a school marm held together with chains and a binder like you did. Pretty cool.

Having just cut through a bunch of 20 inch logs myself, i can attest to how much effort is required. That was an incredible amount of work. Chapeau

Great work man. Makes me warm and happy. Keep up the good work and always let Jesus show you directions in life. Cheers

Excellent video, i want this saw! Good music ( thanks Rossini)!

What a fantastic video! Where to start? The rubber man helper, the chain bind, the hi-lift Jack, heck even the tire splitting keeper. Wow!

Love,your idea with the jack! Ingenious!

well done ol' boy , this is on my list of videos to create and I love the jack all, nice stuff buddy

Bloody hell mate I got knackered just watching you. Great work!

I have a bad back and I have dreamed of doing what you just did all my adult life. Privilege to do what you just did. BEAUTIFUL Buck Saw. Awesome!!!!!

I went to 10 home and outdoor stores from big box stores to mom and pop stores, None of them carry these crosscut saws. Luckily My wifes grandfather use to own 200 acres in Penn and he had 3 of them. I bought all 3 off of him, I couldn't believe that stores don't carry these and manufacturers don't make them anymore, I guess the days of hard work are truly gone 😞

great demonstration of smart old fashion physical work without a $5, 000 dollar wood processor great video. thx

Amazing job. Incredible solo effort. You've really got a great setup there and you are one hard working man. Well done.

Nice job. That face cut looked great and the hinge after the tree dropped was a classic. Well done.

That was very entertaining and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

I really miss living outside of town and being able to do this kind of stuff. It's pretty relaxing using hand tools to cut trees down. I'd much rather listen to birds chirping, leaves rustling in the wind, and the chh chh chh of a saw than barking dogs and loud exhausts.

I was looking through the comments to see all the internet "experts" who haven't split a stick, say how you did that wrong 100 different ways. Didn't see any. Good skills and video 👍

I've got some old saws in the shed like the one you have, I'll think I'll have a go!

Great job Mr. Jim! You're the fastest sawyer I've ever seen! LOL

AMAZing video!! Thank you!

Good firewood gives warm at least 2 times... ;) Love that video! Muscular powered hand tools have some kind of meditative working. It inspires me while I'm working up my first big handsaw. Blade is de-rusted and a bit polished (800 grit, wet), handle is sanded (from 80 grit up to 400) and oiled, tooth are almost finished filing. I'm feeling like a kid before x-mas.... The saw is made in Sweden by Sandvik, built around 1950. It's about 43" total length, partly plain tooth, partly perforated lance tooth.

Jim, you are a badass! Well done sir!

I have done this. A lot of this. Most of the time I watch KZfaq videos and cringe. Your skills sir, are exemplary. Very well done. I worked for a (very old even then) tree service for the first ten years of my adult life. Where did you get your training? Whomever they were, they did a damn fine job. If you are self-taught I am even more impressed.

Nice job, and good use of that hi-lift jack.

Maybe one of the 10 best videos ive seen on the net... thanks for sharing! as others have said that log jack is hot stuff. I'd also like to know what brand of axe and splitting maul you were swinging!

Your Hi-Lift jack mod. certainly gives good service! Making one up for myself-thanks.

Amazing spirit and strength! Sir.

Great video, thanks for sharing

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this vid

Looks like great fun!

Excellent work!

That was great. Good job. Thanks.

This man is part human chainsaw, part human dynamo. And he felled it straight down the centre. Don't think you can fault this ole timer!

Amazing....simply amazing. thank you

You sir are Amazing..

great respect for your work! very nice Video! Cheers, Erik

Good job !

This looks like an excellent video. !!

Well I have to say that was a jolly good job. :)

this is the second time I watch the whole thing, uncut ;)

amazing job....Tree Terminator

I love this so much!

Extremely impressed 👏

Nice thinking with that HighJack,.... I bought one a while ago and knew I would use it someday for something like this.........

Lots of work. I used to split wood to get back in shape.

This is bloody impressive! You've convinced this young buck to ditch the chainsaw

Great job

Love it!

Great video. Makes me want to get one of the old misery whips

Bravo Jim, Bravo!

All that with a crosscut saw, I’m impressed.

Excellent!!

Great job. I have a 1 man and 2 man cross cut saw What size wood chips should be coming out. I cut a lot of Ash and oak. I cut fire wood and slab some for benches Just want to get the most work for the effort put in. love the jack.

Very nice video work!

nice work...and good video.

Very impressive!

Very entertaining video!

Spectacular.

Gtmreat vid mate ! Thanks from oz

The best of the best :)

So which is faster to fell and buck completely saw or axe

Well done, mate!

good job mr. Jim :)

Oh, The William Tell Overture was a good choice.

You are a freaking machine.

Nice job.

I love your old timey methods. Tell me where I can find a rubber strap like you use and its proper name for a google search. Thanks Ron

do you put any kind of solid base under your rounds when splitting them or do you just split them right on the ground, hard to tell in the video.

You certainly earned yourself a beer there!

A+++++++++ for all that dam effort

🤔 Do not pick a fight with this man, unless you want to be cut, split, and stacked. ✊🍷🎩🎩🎩

Is it feasible to use a bark spud and remove all of the bark before bucking?

Where do you get a saw like this?? Awesome!

Some man to go💪👍🇮🇪

Sure enjoyed your video. :)

WOW! That saw goes faster than a chain saw. What is the rebar thingy you used to hold the logs apart? Rubber band man is good too.

That's the real Superman✌🏻❤️

incredible.

This a good video

I thought I was watching an old Path video with the music.

Rewatched this video! Need to publish some more!

Wow ... Impressive

Bravo!

NICE!

Cool!!

Awesome job! Would you mind telling us what that mechanism you used to lift the log is called?

Never saw a rubber man sawing partner. Great idea. I would like to know what you used for the rubber.

A couple questions. 1 did you build the log jack, and how?. 2 what is the brand of axe you are using?

Got one of those, it's up on the wall. Belonged to my late father-in-law, also known as a misery whip.

Hey Jim, This is a great video. I would just like to plug the idea that you make a video about your saw partner, I read the length you've put in the comments section and seen your pictures of the rig, but a video would put the thing over the top. Just an idea.

Looking such a sharp saw, dont even know how you call it? Let me know.

Mitico! Saluti dall'Italia!

respect!

💕👏👍 hard work but sleep good at the end of the day 🔥
